Classic episode. Really enjoyed the cat and mouse games played by the commanders.
I liked Spock urging Kirk to attack. If the Romulans were as savage as his Vulcan ancestors, they truly were dangerous.
I also liked the Romulan bridge set. Not only cheap, from a production standpoint, but also stark, with no frills. It fits the disciplined militaristic Romulan culture.
The wedding was interesting - it gave us a look at a side if the Enterprise and crew we rarely see. It was a bit obvious one of them wasn't going to make it, though.
The ending was good too. Kirk, after consoling the bride, exits the chapel and walks down the busy corridor, back to work as the credits roll.

Great episode! Probably my favorite of the original series.
The Romulan commander was great. He portrayed war weary yet bound by duty very well. Knowing that Vulcans have much longer lifespans than humans, it's not too much of a stretch to believe that the commander and his second actually served in the long ago Human-Romulan war. You can feel throughout this episode that he knows what he's doing is ultimately pointless.
It seems that Spock is playing dumb in this episode because he shouldn't be surprised that Romulans and Vulcans are related.
Also, FWIW, this would be the first episode that is directly affected by the rebooted timeline. Everybody knows all about Romulans now and it seems that it would be unwise for them to start attacking Federation outposts.
