History Series / FourWeddings

* CoolCrown: If the bride is having a princess or royal themed wedding, there will be a crown involved. Greek, Egyptian, and Persian weddings will have the bride and groom crowned in the ceremony.

* HideYourLesbians: Largely played straight in the beginning, as same-sex marriage was not legal in every state yet. Finally averted in season 5. There have since been three more same-sex weddings on the show.

* TechnologicallyBlindElders: Well, not elders, but the guest brides have a really hard time taking a selfie and posting it to Twitter for Cathy and H-T's media wall at their wedding in season 6, episode 7 ("... And a Mechanical Bull").

* PartyGirl: Some brides are like this, but not all of them. Tara in season 5, episode 2 ("... And the Reverse Worm") is notorious for this.

* HideYourLesbians: Largely played straight in the beginning, as same-sex marriage was not legal in every state yet. Finally averted in season 5, episode 2 ("... And the Reverse Worm"). There have since been three more same-sex weddings on the show.

** Alli in season 3, episode 5 ("...And a Fast Food Diet") takes this to an extreme, and she knows this. She claims all she eats is pancakes, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, hot dogs, and cinnamon rolls. Her wedding cake was funfetti, just to further show how juvenile her taste in food is.

** Danielle in season 3, episode 1 ("... And a Glass Slipper") might be the biggest offender, even outright stating in her intro clips that she's brutally honest and makes a very bad enemy. She was openly critical of everything at every single wedding, picking apart even the tiniest details. She not only came in dead last, but she hated the wedding that came first.
--->'''Danielle:''' It would've felt fine to lose to someone that I deserved to lose to.

* FluffyFashionFeathers: Karin in season 2, episode 8 ("... And a Wild Goose") used feathers instead of flowers in her wedding decor due to her allergies.

* TheDiva: Some brides will refer to themselves as this. Shyremia in season 2, episode 7 ("... And a Toast to Me") is the best example.

** Inverted by Shyremia in season 2. She claimed she loved bling, but she had a very plain dress with no embellishment whatsoever, and there was barely any bling in her decor either.

** Shyremia kept toasting her wedding at Julie's wedding. She attempted this at Lindsay's wedding too, but Julie put a stop to it immediately, calling it embarrassing and disrespectful.

** Then, in season 2, episode 6 ("... And a Tour Bus"), there was Yolanda, who was marrying an ex-Chippendales dancer. Yes, he performed at the reception. No, he did not get naked, but the jacket and suspenders did come off.

* AnywhereButTheirLips: In season 2, episode 5 ("... And a Fire Ant Attack"), Nazia had a traditional Pakistani wedding. When the officiant told her husband that he could kiss his bride, he gave her a peck on the cheek. The three guest brides did recognize that it was part of the culture, but [[AlphaBitch one bride]] didn't like it.

* TheBadGuyWins: It's rare, but a few episodes have shown the AlphaBitch winning the honeymoon, despite her picking apart the other weddings. The first time this happened was with Danielle in season 1, episode 9 ("... And Something Blue"). She was extremely picky, did not like wedding aspects that weren't traditional, and complained at every wedding.

* SeriousBusiness: In season 1, episode 7 ("... And Three Raccoons"), Karen had funny, silly vows, which guest bride Ana Maria did not appreciate. She said that wedding vows should be a serious thing, and she even gave Karen a 2 for overall experience, just because of that.

* AlphaBitch: At least once in every episode, there's a bride that's so determined to win, she goes into every wedding expecting to hate it, just so she can give them low scores.

** season 1, episode 1 ("... And a Racetrack") had Nic and Nicole

** Subverted starting in season 10, as all the brides involved are actually friends.

* FriendlyRivalry: Not every episode, but sometimes the four brides do become friends, even holding hands as they wait for the limo to pull up at the end of the episode.

** Inverted by Shyremia in season 2, episode 7 ("... And a Toast to Me"). She claimed she loved bling, but she had a very plain dress with no embellishment whatsoever, and there was barely any bling in her decor either.

An American reality show, adapted from the original British series. Four brides who have never met before go to four weddings and vote for which is the best. The prize for the bride who gets the most point is a dream honeymoon to an unknown destination. One of many GuiltyPleasure shows on {{Creator/TLC}}.

--->'''Danielle:''' It would've felt nice to lose to someone that I deserved to lose to.

* The brides who don't win have last remarks about the bride who did win, ranging from very sportsmanlike and diplomatic to pissed that they were robbed.

* ShoutOut: Some brides have had pop culture themed weddings. In season 5, episode 3 ("... And a Yellow Brick Road"), Missy's wedding was themed to ''[[Film/TheWizardofOz The Wizard of Oz]]''. Later that season, in episode 8 ("... And"), Shauna's wedding was themed to ''Franchise/HarryPotter''.

* BilingualBackfire: If a bride has her ceremony in a language that's not English, there's a good chance the guest brides don't speak this language and will just be lost and bored the whole time. Bonus points if it's an Orthodox Greek ceremony.

* Malaproper: Occasionally, a bride will mistakenly refer to the Viennese table or Viennese hour as "Venetian" or even "Vietnamese".
