History Main / BridalCarry

*** Sanji has carried Nami in this fashion six times (counting the ''Manga/OnePiece'' manga, movies, games and {{Filler}}) with the most famous example being when Sanji [[WeddingSmashers crashes]] Nami's [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe forced wedding]] with Absalom and sweeps the unconscious Nami [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/shipping/images/0/0e/Sanji_Carries_Nami_In_His_Arms.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190626043536 into his arms]]. Also very much a TitleDrop since Nami is an actual bride in that scenario, albeit an unwillingly one.

Likely a case of StoryAndGameplayIntegration as Ashley doggedly refuses to just use a ladder to get down when there is one, meaning she just wants to the chance to jump into Leon’s arms.

* ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' has a heart crushingly tragic version where after making peace with his wife Mary [[spoiler:for [[MercyKill killing her out mercy]] when she was sick and in pain]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/47/0b/a6/470ba665693e189d2d71099525975c72.jpg James slowly picks Mary up and carries her away]] making an image iconic enough to make one of the covers and [[https://giphy.com/gifs/silent-hill-2-EtBO8PvUAgoHS the trailer]].

-->"-against the evening sky, went Bill, for once not hearing the every word of his men-for in his arms he carried Golden-Eyes-his girl-his pal-his little American with a "heart good as bread," her draggled finer blowing against his knees, the sweet feel of her again on his breast-above his heart. He clinched her tight, his blouse about her-tied by the arms under her chin, and knew the strange, wonderful savior of Love and Victory mingled."

** Angel carries Buffy like this in "Halloween" (after a spell causes Buffy to act like a DamselInDistress), while Buffy carries her little sister Dawn to escape Glory in "Spiral". Justified as both characters have SuperStrength.

** Xander carries an injured Anya this way at the end of "The Gift". As he'd proposed marriage to her earlier in the episode, it's likely for RuleOfSymbolism as well.

First time in "This Old Gang of Mine" he does it with Fred to get her off the stage when Gunn's murderous gang comes in gun blazing. The second time he does this with Faith in SlowMotion after Angelus drinks from her, also very [[{{Forgiveness}} heartwarming considering]] Faith [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured him]] last time she was in L.A (and props to Wesley actor Alexis Denisof who had injured back while filming but carried on anyway). [[spoiler:The final time is when Fred is dying and Wesley carries to her deathbed again in SlowMotion in the most tearjerker-part of the series]].

*** Ronon also carried Rodney this way after he collapsed in "The Tao of Rodney" -- one wonders why, as these two aren't even slashed much in the fandom, and weren't particularly close friends on the show. Perhaps it was just easier to dump Rodney in the Ancient chair from this position than from a more sensible fireman carry. Or it was done for PietaPlagiarism purposes.

* During the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series, Lynda performs this lift into carry many times, mostly on heavy-looking men, and does it with ease. [[https://ibb.co/thyRJc7 here]] is one of many examples.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' episode "Date with Destiny", Maria Santiago was carried out of the water by T-Bone, whom the former was covered in one of Frida's art pieces, and the water washed it off.

True to his NonActionSnarker status, Noah is perfectly fine with being carried and none of the other contestants comment on the two.
** Invoked in the wedding-themed "Niagara Brawls".

** Silverbolt carries Blackarachnia this way while approaching the Ark in the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' episode "The Agenda, Part Three".

** In the same episode as the example image Tohru does the action to Jackie himself.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Pepe Le Pew carries Penelope like this when she faints from exhaustion in "Little Beau Pepe".
** Another cartoon had Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd get married (ItMakesSenseInContext) and Bugs carries a bridal gown-clad Elmer over the threshold, only to drop him off a cliff.

** Another episode had Ross and Rachel parodying ''Film/AnOfficerAndAGentleman'': Rachel kept having to go back for stuff, so in the end, Ross just dumped her on the couch.
** In "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS", Chandler carries Monica into the hallway but bangs her head against the doorframe.

* ''[[VideoGame/AmnesiaMemories Amnesia: Later]]'': Shin does this to the heroine in a flashback because she injured her ankle. And the After Story for Ukyo has him carrying her like this out of the burning university, and later while 'kidnapping' her from the wedding café photoshoot.

He opens the door, picks her up, and resumes carrying her like nothing happened.
