** At the end of ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', James Bond, [[LadykillerInLove having fallen genuinely in love with Tracy]], retires from [=MI6=] and gets married in a huge ceremony; however, before the newlyweds can make it to their honeymoon, BigBad Ernst Stavro Blofeld, seeking revenge for 007 ruining his plan and, with TheDragon at his car window with a gun, blindsides the couple with a drive-by shooting that Tracy does not survive. [[DownerEnding The film closes with the hero fighting back tears]] [[PleaseWakeUp as he desperately tries to convince an approaching policeman (and himself) that his bride is just "having a rest"]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In the season 8 finale "Something Old, Something New, Something Bob Caters For You", Bob is asked to cater the wedding of Farrah and Connor, a couple who met at Bob's restaurant. The ceremony is plagued with disasters, like a sudden burst of wind muffling the wedding vows and blowing away Farrah's childhood baby blanket (which was being used as a decoration), a plan to release a flock of butterflies [[ForgotToFeedTheMonster leaving them with a box of dead bugs]], and Bob accidentally smearing the wedding cake. Linda, who had been skeptical that the happy couple could make it work [[FourthDateMarriage after only being together for three months]], is actually touched by Connor and Farrah's struggles, and manages to give a heartwarming speech in support of them when [[DespairEventHorizon it looks like Farrah can't take anymore]].

** In "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge", Otto proposes to his girlfriend Becky and Bart allows them to have the wedding at their house. First, Otto's estranged parents [[HopeSpot show up just to tell them how much they disapprove of everything he does.]] Then Homer partakes in both using a straw to suck up the wedding cake causing it to collapse and his tongue gets stuck to a heart-shaped ice sculpture with the bride and groom's names on it, [[{{Squick}} only for part of said tongue to be left on it after he pulls it off.]] Lastly (and worst of all) when Becky voices her concerns about not liking heavy metal music, Marge gives her some bad advice that culminates in him leaving her at the altar.
* ''WesternAnimation/SixTeen'': One episode has the group preparing to celebrate [[BirthdayEpisode Wyatt's birthday]] at the mall due to all the ones he has at home being extremely lacklustre, only for them to spend hours being distracted by a video game and forget all about it. They then decide to crash a wedding shower and make it look like it is all for Wyatt but fails when he decides to get up and do a speech. The six of them wind up getting kicked out by the pissed-off couple and attendees for ruining the shower.

Well, not in ''this'' case. Be it human error, deliberate sabotage, or just plain circumstances beyond one's control, these events set forth to put a damper on a wedding. Perhaps the couple only [[NoBudget has a shoestring budget for the day and has to resort to a very low-key (and often low effort) ceremony]]. Perhaps the best man, a [[ObnoxiousInLaws family member]], other guests, or even the bride(s) or groom(s) [[IntoxicationEnsues got a little too drunk prior to -- or during -- the nuptials.]] Perhaps it's a wedding where [[TheFriendNoOneLikes no one likes one or both participants]] and is either there to support the other one getting married or they just want the food. Any situation, this wedding day [[ThisIsGonnaSuck is either going to be lousy]] or [[PassThePopcorn will at least have some good/bad moments or memories going for it]].

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': Sergeant Calhoun's in-universe "saddest backstory ever" is that she was about to exchange vows with Doctor Brad Scott when a cy-bug crashed the chapel and ate the groom. Calhoun blames herself for this, having skipped a perimeter check beforehand. She became a tough-as-nails DrillSergeantNasty with zero tolerance for cy-bugs, and not much more for grunts that aren't slaughtering them wholesale. However, [[spoiler:her soldiers pack guns to make sure her wedding to Felix follows the traditional romantic style.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': "Haylias" has Stan deciding that Hayley has no direction in her life and needs to settle down with a good man. He tries setting her up with a politician's [[TransparentCloset clearly gay]] son. When she refuses, he uses a [[ManchurianAgent code phrase]] that forces her to obey his orders. However, a side effect of this is that Hayley wants to kill Stan. As a result, Hayley's wedding ends with her chasing down Stan, trying to kill him.

* ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'' had two unfortunate occasions that, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin yeah]]:
** The first had a wedding where the antics of an obnoxious wedding singer causes the groom to blow a fuse, charge the man in an attempt to stop him, only for the best man to try to calm him down, which leads to the groom pushing his friend down, knocking over the microphone stand and the singer and the latter getting the mic rammed down his throat, choking on it.
** The second had a wedding where the bride's jealous ex-boyfriend tells her off at her reception as he strips down naked and finally walks off triumphantly... right into a glass wall that fatally cuts and punctures him. Worse, not only is the bride horrified by his actions, she's genuinely heartbroken over his death.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'': As detailed in their segment of "We Don’t Talk About Bruno", Pepa and Félix’s wedding day was marred when a stressed-out Pepa created a hurricane after Bruno said it looked like rain. [[spoiler:What really happened was that Bruno was trying to help a sweaty and nervous Pepa relax by making a joke, but he underestimated her reaction.]] Despite this, they are very much HappilyMarried, and Félix remembers that it was "a joyous day anyway".

Note that rarely [[DeusExMachina the wedding ends up getting saved.]] For example, the couple finds a new location at the last minute and the couple gets a more intimate ceremony with close friends, or everyone is moved by the newlyweds' resolve [[EarnYourHappyEnding that they managed to get through the difficult stuff]], but other times the wedding gets ruined for good.
