History Main / WeddingDay

* ''Film/VowsOfDeceit'' (aka ''Deadly Matrimony'') has two. The first is a calm, normal ceremony between the protagonist Sara and Leo, a con-artist who later gains control of her finances. When Sara discovers Leo has done this to ''three'' other women as well, the vengeful ex-wives team up to [[Main/WeddingSmashers gatecrash the wedding of the latest victim]]. What follows is an action-packed sequence that involves bridesmaid disguises, fights with improvised weapons and a gun-toting groom on a murderous rampage.

There is also the Off-Again/On-Again wedding. But then, that one dates back [[OlderThanSteam all the way]] to Creator/WilliamShakespeare and ''MuchAdoAboutNothing''.

* ''[[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} The Bug Princess]]'' ends as one of these is about to begin. Then the author found out that TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou when one of the characters [[ItMakesSenseInContext requested that the event actually be shown]], thus forming the plot of ''Meteor Shower.''

* ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. "Mawwage is wat bwings us togevahh today..."

* Riker and Troi had UnresolvedSexualTension all through the run of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. They get married in ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', the last movie with the ''Next Generation'' cast. We never get to see them say their "I do's", however -- the movie just cuts to their reception after the VillainOpeningScene.

* ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' has Robin and Marian marrying at the end, which King Richard interrupts (right before Friar Tuck declares that they are husband and wife) on the grounds that he would be permitted to GiveAwayTheBride. No one objects.

* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' starts with one where the two protagonists get engaged. Everything goes downhill from there.

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' [[spoiler: Jerin]] gets one very fancy wedding day. [[spoiler: He marries the princesses, so it is a very, very nice wedding.]]

* ''Series/BrothersAndSisters'' has [[spoiler: For the Robert and Kitty wedding -- Kitty walking off the altar so she can tell Robert she blackmailed someone, Tommy commenting that he'd like to shoot Robert with a shotgun and getting held by the Secret Service and Nora's date smoking pot]].

* ''Series/{{CSI NY}}'' had Danny and Lindsay's wedding, although it was a quick, no frills affair down at the Justice of the Peace office.
** There was also at least one that lead to the death of the week...the bride had bought her dress secondhand, not knowing it had been taken from a corpse by a shady undertaker looking to make money. The formaldehyde in the fabric was fatal. Then at the end, Mac has to interrupt another wedding to stop a groom from suffering the same fate due to his suit.

** Margaret's wedding to Donald Penobscott took place at the 4077th, but most of their married life happens off-screen. The marriage is a plot point in several episodes, though.

** The Second series finale, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin called "Wedding"]], has Jeremy and Nancy's wedding. Nancy asks Jeremy to marry her [[CitizenshipMarriage in order to stay in Britain]], but Jeremy takes it very seriously. Nancy goes to a job interview right after the ceremony, and SuperHans can't perform his best man speech due to his excessive cocaine consumption, and Toni convinces Jeremy to start an affair with her.

* In ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', Bowser tries to pull AndNowYouMustMarryMe with Peach on a semi-regular basis, but he goes all-out in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' and attempts to put a lavish ceremony together by stealing materials from around the world. The QuirkyMinibossSquad of the game, the Broodals, are even mad wedding planners. [[spoiler:Once Mario rescues Peach, he begins to propose to her himself... but Bowser butts in and the two men get into a shoving match trying to woo her, leading her to shoot ''both'' their proposals down.]]

* The Bakshi ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' episode "Mighty's Wedlock Whimsy" is billed as a cautionary tale of 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.

* 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 [[WhyWasteAWedding enjoys the wedding cake with Woodstock]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' starts with Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding being crashed by the Forty Thieves, who were specifically after an artifact that was being given as a wedding present. At the end of the movie, they do the ceremony over (mostly offscreen) and get married for real.

* ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and Jean Grey's wedding in ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' was surprisingly conflict-free ([[DefiedTrope Logan made sure of that]]). Not to mention Jean's [[PimpedOutDress atypical wedding dress]] was absolutely gorgeous. The CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming came when Jean chose to have the last dance with wheelchair-bound Xavier, and used her telekinesis to lift him up. One of the few ''joyful'' {{Tear Jerker}}s you'll see in a comic.

* ''Series/TheFlash2014'' uses Barry and Iris' wedding as the backdrop to the yearly ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' crossover, ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX''. Everything's going fine when suddenly all the superheroes in town for the occasion have to stop an invasion from the Nazi dimension.

* In ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', Bowser tries to pull AndNowYouMustMarryMe with Peach on a semi-regular basis, but he goes all-out in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' and attempts to put a lavish ceremony together by stealing materials from around the world. The QuirkyMinibossSquad of the game, the Broodals, are even mad wedding planners.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'': [[spoiler: The series finale is confirmed to feature Fry and Leela's wedding.]]

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': The GrandFinale, known to Ranma fandom as "The Wedding Fiasco", which involved Ranma being bribed with Jusenkyo water and forced to marry Akane, ''four'' fiancées, assorted would-be lovers, at least one ninja, many pounds of explosives disguised as Oriental fast food, assorted murder attempts not related to the rest of that, and a pre-adolescent school teacher eating the wedding cake. Among other things. [[spoiler:And thanks to status quo, ''they still didn't tie the knot!'']]

* ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'': ''The Secret Wedding Of The American Teenager'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]. Ben and Amy and their friends get fake IDs and Ben and Amy use theirs to get married. It goes off without a hitch until their parents crash the reception and inform them that a fake ID marriage is an invalid one. The other weddings in the series (Adrian's parents, Leo and [[FairyTaleWeddingDress Betty]], [[spoiler: Ben and Adrian]]) don't get an entire episode focused on them, but parts of them are shown.

* [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter and MJ's]] wedding was also pretty mundane, save for some typical doubt/cold feet/nerves stuff (heartwarming, but mundane).

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': The GrandFinale, known to Ranma fandom as "The Wedding Fiasco", which involved Ranma being bribed with Jusenkyo water and forced to marry Akane, ''four'' fiancees, assorted would-be lovers, at least one ninja, many pounds of explosives disguised as Oriental fast food, assorted murder attempts not related to the rest of that, and a pre-adolescent school teacher eating the wedding cake. Among other things. [[spoiler:And thanks to status quo, ''they still didn't tie the knot!'']]

* ''Roadie'' borders on {{Deconstruction}} in the case of the wedding that [[Music/MeatLoaf Travis]] travels home to by bus (after Music/AliceCooper had bought him an entire bus). The bride is Travis' bumbling sister Alice Poo who isn't exactly beautiful either. The groom is Travis' workmate and best friend B.B. Muldoon — and it's him who is so drunk that he can't stand on his own feet anymore and promptly passes out the instant he's married. The wedding itself is held at Travis' home, Redfish Manor, which is essentially a junkyard. And none of this seems to be really out of the ordinary for rural West Texas.

* ''Film/WhosThatGirl'' proceeds to the wedding of main character Louden Trott and his fiancee Wendy Worthington, only for the other main character Nikki Finn to crash the wedding to tell the people that (1) the bride's father Simon Worthington is a criminal who had Nikki's boyfriend Johnny murdered and her framed for the murder to cover up his crimes, and (2) Louden is actually in love with Nikki.
* ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'' has Robin and Marian marrying at the end, which King Richard interrupts before Friar Tuck declares that they are husband and wife on the grounds that he would be permitted to GiveAwayTheBride. None object.

* ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'': Kristy's mother and stepfather, Mary Anne's father and Dawn's mother, Dawn's father and stepmother, two sitting clients, Kristy's father and stepmother ...

* We see a couple in ''Literature/TheSavannahReidMysteries'': Savannah's sister Marietta (attempts to get) married for the third time, but it falls through when her fiance's ex shows up at the rehearsal with a gun and the fiance decides to go back to her. [[spoiler:Savannah herself is later a bride, but it doesn't go quite the way she wants: the first wedding day is ruined when an arsonist burns down the building, and the second is put to a halt when the wedding planner is found murdered right before the ceremony. Third time's the charm, apparently.]]

* Poor Phyllis on ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' [[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 beginning of the season), and seeing Jim dancing with Karen, gets back together with Roy]].

** It helps that Gargoyles [[spoiler: has a fairly StableTimeLoop.]] He probably knew going in that he wouldn't fail, and told himself that in the letter.

* In ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', which is considered to be the GrandFinale of the manga (given that it's the first {{canon}} movie of the franchise), ends with Naruto and Hinata's wedding during the ending credits. ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', an officially sanctioned light novel, deals with their wedding in more detail.

* The GrandFinale of the manga version of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' ends with Mamoru and Usagi's long awaited wedding, with all the main Sailor Senshi in attendence. [[spoiler: It's implied that their kid from the future ChibiUsa has been conceived]].

* In ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', which, given it's the first {{canon}} movie of the franchise, is considered to be the GrandFinale of the manga, ends with Naruto and Hinata's wedding during the ending credits. ''[[LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding Konoha Hiden]]'', an officially sanctioned light novel, deals with their wedding in more detail.

* In ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', which is considered to be GrandFinale of the manga ends with Naruto and Hinata's wedding during credits. Recently there is also a LightNovel confirmed to be dealing with their wedding in more detail.

* The GrandFinale of the manga version of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' ends with Mamoru and Usagi's long awaited wedding, with all the main Sailor Senshi in attendence. [[spoiler: It's implied that their kid from the future Chibi Usa has been conceived]].

Specific variants: {{Bridezilla}}, CitizenshipMarriage, SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace, RunawayBride, WeddingDeadline, WeddingSmashers. Often a good opportunity for a reveal of an EmbarrassingMiddleName (we're looking at you, [[OnlyFoolsAndHorses Rodney Charlton Trotter]]), and you're likely to find at least ''one'' FairytaleWeddingDress floating around.

* Not long after, just like [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire in the books]], there is the Red Wedding in "The Rains of Castamere" in which Edmure Tully gets married to one of the Frey daughters, and then Robb, Talisa, Catelyn, and everybody else in the Stark party is murdered.

* Just like [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire in the books]], ''Series/GameOfThrones'' has the Red Wedding and the Purple Wedding. (See "Literature").
** In a departure from the books, the show also had the White Wedding between [[spoiler: Sansa Stark and Ramsey Bolton]] which while beautiful in appearance was extremely creepy and disturbing to anyone familiar with the characters and their histories. The wedding night that follows is considered one of the most disturbing scenes on the show by many fans.

* ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. "Mawwedge is wat bwings us togevahh today..."

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfPrydain'' ends on what turns out to be [[spoiler:Taran and Eilonwy]]'s Wedding Day. 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.

** And of course, there's the humble [[WartimeWedding Wartime Weddings]] of Rayford Steele and Amanda White, Buck Williams and Chloe Steele, Ming Toy and Ree Woo, and from ''The Kids'' series, Judd Thompson Jr. and Vicki Byrnes.

* On ''Series/{{Amen}}'', when Thelma and the Reverend tried to get married the first time, the Reverend faints at the altar and then tells Thelma that he needs more time to think about marriage. She joins the Army. The second time (the following season), the minister that the Reverend gets to do the ceremony (a mentor of his from seminary) took too much cold medicine and passes out at the altar. Deacon Frye convinces the Reverend that since he IS a reverend, he can do the wedding himself. It goes off without a hitch and when Thelma and the Reverend are pronounced husband and wife, a drum corps (hired by the deacon) salutes the happy couple.

* If you're getting married on ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', it's not going to be a fairytale:

** April tries very hard to make her wedding to [[spoiler: Matthew]] a perfect fairytale wedding. And it works- until [[spoiler: [[FirstLove Jackson]]]] interrupts.

* Poor Phyllis on ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' [[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]].
