Sometimes it's just not easy to let go of things that happened in real life for the sake of the show.

The Big Bang Theory is a hit sitcom that, if one needs a brief summary, encompasses the life of four nerd friends. The main plot of the series is their character development and actually their efforts to become better socialized people.

Being a brain geek does not really help them in this area.

As the story goes, Howard, Raj, Leonard and Sheldon become successful on many levels. They are achieving their professional goals one step at a time, but what is more interesting is how their love lives are going.

And while it's been a difficult journey for Raj, the rest of the gang has managed to find their significant others quite easily.

Leonard and Penny's love story was the first to appear on screen. Then there was Howard and Bernadette, who found each other and soon got married.

And even Sheldon, the character who least wanted to be in a relationship, found a girlfriend, Amy Farrah Fowler.

It was quite difficult for them to build their relationship, with both of them being socially awkward and all, but they still managed to grow their love enough to commit to each other and get married.

But as it turned out, getting to that wedding part was hard not only for Amy, but also for Mayim Bialik, who played her in the sitcom.

As she revealed on her Youtube channel, Bialik had some serious issues with a pre-wedding scene. It's actually the bridal gown fitting.

The actress felt that the fact that she was divorced in real life could hurt her character on the show. Because people would get all nasty or ask her a lot of unnecessary questions.

As she revealed in the video, she didn't want to try on the traditional wedding dresses and be filmed wearing one. As she recalls, she never liked the way they looked and never wanted to wear one.

And even for her own real wedding, she just bought a random lace dress from a French vintage store as her dress.

Bialik was really nervous about the scene, but it actually turned out not to be that bad. She revealed that she actually liked the way the dresses fit her and made her look.

In her YouTube video, the actress mentioned that she was afraid that people would feel sorry for her if they saw her on screen wearing a wedding dress again when she is actually a divorcee.

But her fans were really supportive of her, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Girl! No one feels pity for you, you are such a beautiful, strong and smart woman. Divorce happens, stop feeling bad about yourself, you didn't fail, and you deserve to be happy," Youtube user danie8243 said.

In the end, the dress Amy chose on the show was actually the one she loved in real life, and the one that fans said best suited her character.

Well, of course! Remember the groom's reaction?
