The episode was “The One With Ross’s Wedding”.

A resurfaced interview with writer and producer Greg Malins via Reddit includes him talking about Ross’ wedding to Emily in the Season 4 finale. He shared that the ending of the wedding was something they had “struggled” with to figure out. And at a taping, David Schwimmer was meant to say “I got the cab waiting, Emily,” but it came out as “I got the cab waiting, Rachel” and he apologized. But that brain fart turned out to be brilliant because that’s when the writers knew that that’s what should happen, “We’re doing this.”
And so, “I, Ross, take thee Rachel” was born, and it only happened “because David flubbed his line,” Malins said. The fact that that line changed the course of Friends for the remainder of the series is pretty incredible, and all because of one little brain fart. It’s hard to imagine how different the show would have been if not for those five words, but it would be unrecognizable.

That's interesting. I think I would have preferred if they had gone for the cab line rather than the one actually in the wedding. It never really makes sense to me that he would say the wrong name at that time since all he had to do was repeat the line that had just been spoken to him.
You stupid fuckers, you know who you are.

My favourite episode is “The one with Chandler’s red tranquilliser eyes”
