Could There Be a Wedding in the Grey's Anatomy Season Premiere?

Does the casting of a Catholic priest mean Meredith and Derek are finally getting hitched?

The season-six premiere of Grey's Anatomy begins shooting on July 15, and casting directors are currently looking for actors to play the guest roles.

One role in particular listed in the Anatomy season premiere casting call may catch fans' eyes: Producers are looking for someone to play a Catholic priest in his 60s.

Could this possibly mean that Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are finally getting married? Or could someone be receiving last rites—like perhaps Dr. George O'Malley, since actor T.R. Knight is not returning for season six? Hmmm...

And what other characters can we expect in the season premiere? The producers are also looking for an 18-year-old male patient, Andy Smith, and his mother, Pam, for a two-episode arc, in addition to what appears to be a few foreign gals backpacking across America who end up in the hospital.

The episode will be written by executive producer Krista Vernoff and directed by Ed Ornelas.

Could this be the moment? Will MerDer finally have more than just a Post-it note signifying their marriage? And if so, could a McBaby be on the way? Hit the comments!
