Time flies when you’re watching one of the best medical dramas ever on television, especially when there are so many celebratory moments. As Grey’s Anatomy fans, we triumph in these monumentally joyous occasions in the lives of the doctors of Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital because we have witnessed their hard work and well-earned journeys; it feels like their successes are ours, too, inspiring us to push harder and dream bigger.

The nuptials of Alex Karev and Jo Wilson, or Catherine Avery and Richard Webber felt like finally getting the wedding invitations to our BFFs’ weddings. When Meredith Grey won the Harper Avery award, it was like all her hard work and our cheerleading for her every step of the way had finally paid off. There have been so many great celebratory moments on Grey’s over the years, it’s almost hard to keep count. We’ve narrowed it down to six that are sure to give you all the feels, and help prep for the two-hour premiere of season 15. Be sure to tune in to ABC on Sept. 27.Alex and Jo get married
This felt like a long time coming, and boy, was it finally worth it! The moment Jo said “yes” to Alex’s proposal, a countdown to the wedding began in the head of every Grey’s fan. When these two finally do tie the knot, it does not disappoint. Their nuptials are officiated by Meredith on a ferry boat, which isn’t just romantic, but an incredibly symbolic moment that had every single day-one Grey’s fan weeping tears of joy.Dr. Miranda Bailey finally becomes chief of surgery
This moment felt like a huge win not only for Miranda, but everyone who’s loved her since season 1, episode one when the “Nazi,” as she was so affectionately called by the hospital’s staff, rattled off to a band of misfit interns her five rules. (Who can forget rule no. 1: “Don’t bother sucking up. I already hate you. That’s not going to change.”)

Miranda has been a strong, smart, and outspoken woman from the start, and it was only a matter of time until she became the leader she was always meant to be. So when it was revealed in the premiere episode of season 12 that Dr. Miranda Bailey would be the first female chief of surgery at Grey-Sloan Memorial, finally her dreams were actualized. For Grey’s fans, it felt like a “hell yeah” for women everywhere, proving we can have it all as we’ve watched Miranda balance motherhood, marriage, and a flawless career over the years. It was the kind of moment that makes you cheer in your living room.
