Simply put, viewers or readers have been tricked with a BaitAndSwitch trope. In filmed visual media, this trope will usually make use of the RevealShot when the camera goes slowly off the assumed couple, shifts the view and pans on the true bride and groom. Alternatively, the actual bride and groom will look a lot like the assumed bride and groom, so much so that they will be mistaken for them at the first glance, or the couple will be shot from behind as they walk up the aisle, obscuring their faces. Another common device is to switch from something like the BigDamnKiss to an establishing shot of a church, with a crowd waiting to greet the newlyweds, and the reveal is made when the other couple emerges from the doors instead.

You only have a couple of pages to finish and the book is about to end... Or there are only few minutes left from the screen time of the movie... Or you are pumped for this sit-com rom-com season finale. Aww, look! The guy and his crush are finally together. Their unresolved sexual tension is getting resolved. After all that WillTheyOrWontThey we are happy to find out that TheyDo after all. Or perhaps the sweethearts made up after their SecondActBreakup. Perhaps the girl unsure about her ArrangedMarriage has finally decided to go through with it. And look, the happy couple is even tying the knot.
Wedding... perfect HappilyEverAfter, right? Wait, what? It is not ''them'' who is getting married! These wedding bells are for somebody else.
Turns out the happy occasion is being thrown for the BetaCouple or any other couple who is close enough to the assumed lovebirds. They are family or friends -- close enough to be their wedding guests. Who we assumed were bride and groom are only members of the wedding party, possibly best man and maid of honour or official witnesses to certify the ceremony, which explains their festive clothes or almost-bride-and-groom attire.
Simply put, viewers or readers have been tricked with a BaitAndSwitch trope. In filmed visual media, this trope will usually make use of the RevealShot when the camera goes slowly off the assumed couple, shifts the view and pans on the true bride and groom. Alternatively, the actual bride and groom will look a lot like the assumed bride and groom, so much so that they will be mistaken for them at the first glance.
Generally speaking, this trope is usually connected to the OfficialCouple, but it can also concern any other couple from the ensemble cast. The important part is that the audience is led to believe that somebody is about to be married, but they are not really.
Usually an [[EndingTropes Ending]] spoiler trope and usually played for laughs.
'''SPOILERS AHOY! Beware, major spoilers are unmarked.'''

[[folder:Film - Live-Action]]
* ''Literature/BridgetJones'': At the end of the second movie, Bridget asks Mark to take her back. Mark does, he proposes and she happily accepts. One of the final shots of the movie has them standing in front of the altar... Except the wedding ceremony is for Bridget's parents who are renewing their vows. At least Bridget catches the bouquet.
* At the end of ''Film/{{Clueless}}'', after Cher and Josh get a RelationshipUpgrade, Cher's narration says that the viewer can probably guess what happened next. The scene then cuts to a wedding... it's not theirs though, it's the teachers' Cher was 'shipping at the beginning, and she berates the viewer for thinking the former.
-->'''Cher's narration:''' As if! I'm only 16. This is California, not Kentucky.
* ''Film/TheLoveBug'' (1997) ends with a photo shoot of bride and groom in Herbie. They vaguely resemble the main couple. At least the main couple is about to leave on a date. They don't know where they're going; Herbie will decide, just like the honeymoon at the end of the original movie.
* ''Summer Spent with a Cowboy'' (original title ''Leto s kovbojem''): Honza proposes to Doubravka in front of her disapproving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who all answer in turn: "Never!" -- "Never." -- "Never?" The bride-to-be doesn't say anything. Next shot of the film is at the wedding, Doubravka and Honza stand together side by side. She's in a white simple dress, he's in a black suit, the wedding music is playing... Turns out the groom is Honza's brother who is marrying his girlfriend. Honza and Doubravka are their witnesses.

* ''Literature/{{Saturnin}}'': The book ends with the nameless narrator nervously asking out his crush Miss Barbora. She doesn't make it easy for him, but she accepts and he's beyond happy. All previous chapters have a summary of the chapter, in the 'InWhichATropeIsDescribed' style. The very last chapter is very brief (OneParagraphChapter brief) and resembles just the summary. The narrator says he knows that every good story needs a satisfying ending and that there is no happy ending like a wedding. ''Everyone'' expects it's him and the lovely Barbora. He's glad he will not disappoint his readers because his widowed aunt Katerina got married to a rich gentleman.
* In ''Literature/TheWestingGame'', Angela spends the book unsure about her upcoming marriage to Dr. Deere. At the end, all of the characters attend a wedding implied to be theirs until it's revealed to actually be for [[DecemberDecemberRomance Otis and Crow]], as Angela had called off the engagement. (It is stated that she does marry Deere later, but on her own terms.)
* At the end of ''Discworld/{{Mort}}'', the dialogue from Cutangle and the fact that he clearly has a crush on Princess Keli implies they're about to get married... nope. It's Mort and Death's (adopted) daughter Ysabel who tie the knot.

* In the live-action adaptation of ''Literature/{{Saturnin}}'', Jiri Oulicky (the protagonist narrator from the book NamedByTheAdaptation) has a date with Barbora near the end of the TV film/miniseries, and proceeds to narrate that he knows every good story ends with a wedding. The scene is set at church, LohengrinAndMendelssohn is playing, the camera pans to Barbora and Jiri standing before the altar... but as the first couple among the wedding guests. The bride is actually Jiri's gold-digging aunt Katerina.
* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', the entire final season takes place at Barney and Robin's wedding. However, the prior seasons faked out the identity of both the bride and the groom when they had flash forwards to the time of the final season.
** Season 6 opens with Ted talking about the two important days in a relationship: the day you meet a girl and the day you marry her. Cut to Ted in a tuxedo and Marshall approaching him and asking if he's nervous. The implication here is clearly that this is Ted's wedding day and that he's marrying the mother of his kids. The season finale reveals it's his friend Barney's wedding and Ted's nervous because of his best man duties.
** Season 7 ends with Barney (already revealed to be the groom) proposing to his girlfriend, Quinn. However, the very last scene reveals the bride to not be Quinn, but Robin, Barney's ex-girlfriend (and also Ted's ex-girlfriend and big love of his life).

* In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue of the ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' [[Recap/DragonsRidersOfBerkS8E13KingOfDragonsPart2 series finale]], the riders are all attending Dagur and Mala's wedding, the framing and Hiccup's voice over implying to be his and Astrid's wedding before panning out and proving otherwise.
--> '''Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III:''' As for the lovebirds... [''Shows Hiccup and Astrid kissing with a pair of wedding rings, only to reveal Dagur and Mala putting on the rings instead''] No, ''those'' lovebirds.
