History Main / WeddingDay

* The cartoon special ''[[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown]]'' has Snoopy all set to get married to a dog named Genevieve when Lucy soon arrives with news that [[RunawayBride the bride-to-be has just run off with a golden retriever]]. Snoopy is heartbroken at first, but soon lightens up at the prospect of remaining a bachelor, and [[WhyWasteAWeddding enjoys the wedding cake with Woodstock]].

* ''Series/McLeodsDaughters''. Alex and Stevie's wedding day was almost ruined when a well-meaning policeman mistakes Alex for a cattle thief.

* ''Series/{{Mash}}'' had a few, including one by telephone (similar to the ''Happy Days'' example above) between Klinger and his Toledo girlfriend Laverne Esposito.

* ''McLeodsDaughters''. Alex and Stevie's wedding day was almost ruined when a well-meaning policeman mistakes Alex for a cattle thief.
* The best TV example of the Off-Again/On-Again wedding is Corky's wedding from ''MurphyBrown'', where she gets cold feet at the last moment, the whole thing is called off, everyone goes home -- and then she changes her mind and gets married with no one but the priest, Murphy, and the Temptations present. Oh, and the groom, of course.
* Poor Phyllis on ''TheOffice'' [[spoiler:gave Michael a part in her wedding. He proceeds to think that he's the most important part in the ceremoney, and Dwight, sure that he found a wedding crasher, kicks out her uncle who has memory loss. Pam is also frustrated since Phyllis stole everything from her wedding (that Pam broke off at the begining of the season), and seeing Jim dancing with Karen, gets back together with Roy]].

* ''HighSociety'' features an interesting wedding day: first, the bride wakes up hungover, having [[DidTheyOrDidntThey possibly slept with someone]] after [[KissingUnderTheInfluence drinking heavily the night before]]; the groom leaves, then comes back, then leaves again; and finally, [[spoiler: she remarries her ex-husband when she realises they're still in love, just as she's about to tell everyone the wedding's cancelled]]

** It's probably for the best, however. If the "Wedding Day" trope gets played too often in a medium, it can eventually alienate viewers.

* [[Franchise/ThelegendOfZelda Link]] and Zelda were ''supposed'' to be married in the beginning of ''Super FanFic/PaperMarioX''. However, Zelda was hypnotized by Nastasia to marry Ganondorf instead. Link was not happy, of course. (Of course, Link and Zelda did get married at the end of the story eventually.)

* In TheBigBangTheory, Howard and Bernadette moved their Wedding Day so that they would already be married by the time Howard was sent into space. After failing to find anyone willing to conduct the ceremony at short notice, ''all of their friends'' got ordained as ministers on-line (Sheldon apparently got ordained ''twice'', once by the State of California and once by the [[Franchise/StarTrek Klingon High Council]]) and conducted the ceremony as a team. On the roof of Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, just as the {{Google}} Earth satellite was photographing the area. They timed it so that [[GoogleEarthZoom the photo was taken]] [[MomentOfAwesome just as the newlyweds kissed]].

* Franchise/{{Superman}} and LoisLane's wedding day is chronicled in the Wedding Album arc. The wedding was planned for a long time, but ExecutiveMeddling dictated that the wedding in DCU canon must coincide with the wedding in ''Series/LoisAndClark''. As a result the writers had to write many arcs to delay it, one of them being ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman''.

* The finale of Anime/GurrenLagann, has Simon and Nia's WeddingDay...[[spoiler: [[TearJerker Heartbreakingly]] subverted when it's revealed as a result of the death of Anti-spiral, Nia, formerly their messager, must die with them. It takes all of her willpower to keep her body alive for Her and Simon's special day before Dissapearing into light after they speak their vows]].

* [[Literature/VorkosiganSaga Miles Vorkosigan's]] wedding is almost spoiled [[spoiler:by an enemy attempting to assassinate his bride]] in ''Winterfair Gifts''.

* ''TheChroniclesOfPrydain'' ends on what turns out to be [[spoiler:Taran and Eilonwy]]'s WeddingDay. It being medieval fantasy, however, the wedding is a simple matter of them joining hands and pledging their troth in front of some witnesses. It takes up approximately three sentences of exposition on the next-to-last page.

* In TheBigBangTheory, Howard and Bernadette moved their WeddingDay so that they would already be married by the time Howard was sent into space. After failing to find anyone willing to conduct the ceremony at short notice, ''all of their friends'' got ordained as ministers on-line (Sheldon apparently got ordained ''twice'', once by the State of California and once by the [[Franchise/StarTrek Klingon High Council]]) and conducted the ceremony as a team. On the roof of Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, just as the {{Google}} Earth satellite was photographing the area. They timed it so that [[GoogleEarthZoom the photo was taken]] [[MomentOfAwesome just as the newlyweds kissed]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' had this for its second season finale between two new characters.

* ''HarryPotter'': The last book has a wedding that's been hinted at for three books, the groom's mother takes the role of {{Bridezilla}}, all's going well, plot points are introduced, then the Death Eaters show up.

* ''[[MASHTheSeries M*A*S*H]]'' had a few, including one by telephone (similar to the ''Happy Days'' example above) between Klinger and his Toledo girlfriend Laverne Esposito.

* The page image is provided by Archie comics that (in alternate fututre timelines) had wedding days for both the Archie and Veronica paring and the Archie and Betty paring.

Celebrating two people's lifelong commitment to each other? Aw, [[GoldenMoment the love... the peace... the joy...]] [[RunawayBride the groom who panics at the last minute, leaving his friends desperately searching for him as they try to keep this under wraps]]... the {{Bridezilla}} who has a conniption fit over a [[PimpedOutDress single misplaced frill]]... the [[MyBelovedSmother Beloved Smother]] who insists on hovering over every single aspect of the ceremony... the drunken priest... the awkward moment at "SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace" when the long-forgotten LoveInterest says "I object!"... Some day we'll look back at this and laugh. [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} And laugh. And laugh. Hoooo boy]].

* The Bakshi ''MightyMouse'' episode "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" is billed as a cautionary tale Mighty Mouse marrying Pearl Pureheart. After a dream sequence he'd like to forget, Mighty Mouse is about to take his vow when he gets cold feet. The wedding is averted as the animator himself is unable to go through with it.

* ''RockosModernLife'' featured Filburt marrying Dr. Hutchison. It took a lot to get the episode produced, because at the time, Nickelodeon wasn't too big on continuity. So it was the first in-series wedding Nickelodeon ever featured.
