* On ''CodenameKidsNextDoor,'' Numbuh Two/Hoagie has a PrecociousCrush on Numbuh Five/Abigail's older sister, Cree. In the DistantFinale, he and Numbuh Five are married instead.

* In PrincessAndTheFrog, when Charlotte le Boeuf can't get married to [[spoiler: Prince Naveen, she promises to wed his younger brother instead. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar He's six and a half]].]]

** Actually averted in his case, since Jo made very clear that she ''never'' wanted him romantically and Laurie seemed to be [[LovingAShadow seeking for a "sister" or "confident"]] rather than a real romantic relationship. Therefore, when Amy entered the picture, she wasn't replacing ''anyone'' in Laurie's heart anymore. The FanDumb was and still is grasping on straws in this one, so no wonder [[WriterRevolt LMA went all "I won't marry Jo to Laurie to please anyone" mode.]]

* Happens at the very end of [[spoiler:ThePalmBeachStory]], in particularly zany screwball comedy style as the twin sister getting married looks quite confused and isn't sure quite how she got to the altar (& neither do we).

** They went to Yule Ball, that's not proof they wanted to marry each other. [[WallBanger Oh, wait. J.K. Rowling. I forgot.]]

* Seems to be the case at the end of ''HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'': [[spoiler: Angelina Johnson, who dated Fred Weasley during their Hogwarts years, later married George Weasley, his surviving twin. They named their son Fred]].

* In ''FireEmblem: Seisen no Keifu'' this is implied to be the case for Bridget/Midayle and Bridget/Jamuka. Levin/Fury plays with the trope; Levin had a major crush on Fury's sister Mahnya when he was young, but in a talk event he tells her he's over it and wants to be with Fury now.

* Seems to have been the case at the end of ''HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'': [[spoiler: Angelina Johnson, who dated Fred Weasley in during their Hogwarts years, later married George Weasley, his surviving twin. They named their son Fred]].

* On ''BattlestarGalactica'', Helo was originally in love with Boomer, who was in love with Chief Tyrol. Helo fell in love with Athena, a copy of the same Cylon model as Boomer, when they were set up together on the planet Caprica, thinking that she was Boomer. Helo married Athena some time after learning the truth, and they became arguably the series' most stable couple.

* Initially played straight and then finally averted on ''GeneralHospital''. Dr Monica Quartermaine was introduced on the show as the wife of Dr Jeff Webber. It was quickly revealed that she had once been engaged to Jeff's brother, Rick and only married Jeff on the rebound after Rick dumped her and then was promptly presumed dead in Africa. When Rick came BackFromTheDead, Monica resumed her pursuit of Rick, but after he became involved with Dr Lesley Williams, Monica decided not to settle for staying married to Jeff and divorced him.

This can entail a BettyAndVeronica situation, where a quiet Betty whom he would never have noticed in the ordinary run of things comes to his attention when his prolonged wooing of Veronica means he sees a lot of her.
