** The Agathons' marriage (Karl "Helo" Agathon and Sharon "Athena" Valeri) seems to be going OK too, despite him killing her! (It was at her request and, being a cylon, she got better).

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesHajimariNoKiseki'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Makarov]] proposes to Mary to marry her after he finishes his graduation project: making the second generation of soldats, starting with [[TheHero Rean's]] [[AceCustom Tyrfing-S]].

** Peter Parker and Mary Jane went through this for two decades (1987-2008). It was the first major example of a {{Superhero}} getting married and preceded Superman's wedding to Lois Lane by ten years.
--> '''Mary Jane''': "I will take this man--this very special man--to be the most important thing in my life. Because that's exactly what I've realized, he already ''is''."\\

-->-- Peter and MJ's Wedding Vows, '''Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21''', written by David Michelinie.

* ''Comicbook/IncredibleHulk'': Bruce Banner and Betty Ross had a solid marriage despite everything they went through. It took her death and resurrection as [[spoiler:Red She-Hulk]] to break them up. Betty was earlier married to and divorced [[ColonelKilgore Glenn Talbot]], who was even more rabid about going after Hulk than General Ross.

* ''{{ComicBook/Runaways}}'': Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru. Although Karolina had crushed on Nico since at least the start of the series in 2003 (if not before), Nico rejected her advances in 2005. Romantic tension continued to exist between them through the years until 2017, when Nico confessed her love to Karolina and kissed her. They have dated ever since.

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'':

* ''Fanfic/HouseOfSummers'': [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]] and ComicBook/JeanGrey get engaged and finally married during "The Girl from Tomorrow", albeit ironically their time-travelling [[ComicBook/RachelSummers daughter]] had to give them a little nudge.

** Unlike most Disney couples, [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and Jasmine]] simply become engaged at the end of their first movie. They then embark on [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar several]] [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries adventures]] before [[WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves tying the knot]].

* [[Series/{{Firefly}} Kaylee and Simon]] at the end of ''Film/{{Serenity}}, or so it is implied.''

** Happens offscreen after the end of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if Alistair [[spoiler:is made king and]] romanced the female human noble Warden]]. The DLC ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening,'' which takes place six months after the end of the main game, shows her basically coming back from their honeymoon to take up the mantle of Warden-Commander. It's an extremely happy marriage, as proven by the bridegroom's involvement in the next two games if the world state is imported.

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' has two examples. The [[WillTheyOrWontThey on-and-off relationship]] between [[OfficialCouple Sonic and Sally]] that started in [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]] led to Sonic [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonic_is_princess_sallys_consort.jpg officially becoming Sally's]] [[HotConsort consort]] before becoming the new [[http://web.archive.org/web/20190903222718/http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/38500000/King-Sonic-and-Queen-Sally-s-children-sonally-38508685-625-735.jpg King of Mobitropolis]] in [[MarriedInTheFuture the future.]] Also, [[BetaCouple Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot]] dated for just over a decade and have been married since issue 174.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfOrigins'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Makarov]] proposes to Mary to marry her after he finishes his graduation project: making the second generation of soldats, starting with [[TheHero Rean's]] [[AceCustom Tyrfing-S]].

* ''Anime/MaidSama'': Usui and Misaki by chapter 57, after a loooooooong run of BelligerentSexualTension (mostly from [[{{Tsundere}} Misaki's]] end).

* Tamora Pierce's Literature/TortallUniverse has something like this in the Literature/SongOfTheLioness series where we see Alanna get with numerous men, including the [[BetterAsFriends handsome prince]], and the [[OneLastFling tribal warrior]], before finally marrying the charming rogue who had loved her all along. In the later series we see them [[HappilyMarried growing]] [[BabiesEverAfter old together]], too.

* ''Series/{{Ed}}'' and Carol ''finally'' get together at the end of the third season after working out their ''{{Unrequited Love Switcheroo}}''.

* The OfficialCouple of ''Manga/KareKano'' is a fantastic instance of this trope; most of the interesting conflict starts ''after'' they become boyfriend and girlfriend in the manga version. In the anime it's the other way around, due to the amazingly bad [[GeckoEnding last handful of episodes]] after the author threw a fit over the anime's comic elements and the director quit.

* Kotaro and Natsumi from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' got married in 2015 according to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka and Setsuna]] both got married in 2017, [[TrollingCreator but it didn't say if it was to each other]].

* Happens fairly quickly in ''Manga/MyLoveStory'', with much of the conflict concerning lingering concerns on either side about their relationship and people's strong reactions to said relationship. It helps that with a seven-foot ogre-like Behemoth of a man and a short, pretty girl, one can understand everyone being weirded out by the pairing, no matter how much effort the author gave to make the two absolutely adorable together.
* ''Anime/PanzerWorldGalient'': As seen in the closing credits of the final chapter, Jordy and Chururu got married several years after the war.

* [[MayDecemberRomance Clover the Clever and Commander Hurricane]] in ''FanFic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria.'' [[EveryoneCanSeeIt No one's surprised]], after years of BelligerentSexualTension and [[SnarkToSnarkCombat verbal jousting]].

* [[spoiler: Kensi and Deeks]] from ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'' got together early in season six and, as of season seven, still seem to be very happy. [[spoiler: Deeks]] proposed in season eight and the couple is expected to marry in season eleven.

** Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon finally marry in ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} and Oracle'', after years of dating on and off.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'': Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot: Dated for just over a decade and have been married since issue 174.

* The [[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} Contractually Obligated Chaos series]] does this for the two leads - twice. Thanks to a MagicallyBindingContract, they end the first story in a state where they are effectively married, in a ClaimedByTheSupernatural kind of way. The sequel ends with a more traditional WeddingDay, covering all the bases.

* ''Anime/MaidSama'': Usui and Misaki by chapter 57, after a loooooooong run of BelligerentSexualTension (mostly from [[Tropes/Tsundere Misaki's]] end).

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' ends with Adora and Catra becoming an official couple after five seasons of romantic tension, as well as [[StarCrossedLovers Hordak and Entrapta]] happily reuniting.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessOfPower'' end with Adora and Catra becoming an official couple after five seasons of romantic tension, as well as [[StarCrossedLovers Hordak and Entrapta]] happily reuniting.
