If only fantasy were reality! Fictional TV couples have the ability to make viewers believe in love. So when it comes to their weddings, fans have high expectations for the big day.
On The Office, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly’s (Jenna Fischer) love story was seasons in the making. When it came time for the duo to wed in season 6, the lovebirds’ nuptials were made all the more memorable by their colleagues.
Employees from Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch interrupted the ceremony to perform a surprise dance routine to Chris Brown’s “Forever,” which was based on a viral YouTube video. Unbeknownst to their wedding guests, Jim and Pam secretly tied the knot on a boat below Niagara Falls before the church gathering began.
“I bought those tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we’d need a backup plan,” Krasinksi’s Jim said after the main wedding. “The boat was actually Plan C, the church was Plan B, and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her.”
Years after the episode aired in 2009, The Office cast recreated the wedding dance scene on Krasinski’s Some Good News series in May 2020 after he virtually officiated the nuptials of two fans via Zoom.
Friends fans got treated to multiple weddings throughout the show’s 10-season run. However, the most romantic ones came in season 7 with Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and in season 10 with Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) and Mike Hannigan (Paul Rudd).
When the series finale aired in May 2004, Monica and Chandler became parents to newborn twins. Newlyweds Phoebe and Mike, meanwhile, expressed interest in starting a family of their own.
In May 2020, Kudrow speculated on what she believed Phoebe and Mike would be up to after all these years. “I feel like if they’d had kids she would be militaristic about creating art,” the Comeback alum explained to The Sunday Times. “So their place would be overrun with huge, outlandish projects.”
New Girl, for its part, aired two major weddings between main characters Winston Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece Parekh (Hannah Simone) as well Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick Miller (Jake Johnson). However, Schmidt and Cece’s big day stood out more because they had a second more intimate ceremony to make up for the mishaps at their first wedding.

Steroline fans begged for a June wedding ever since the blonde vampire first suggested in the pilot that she would one day marry Stefan. The pair finally tied the knot in the series’ penultimate episode, and although they were expecting an attack from longtime nemesis Katherine, the wedding (mostly) went off without a hitch.

Set aside the fact that commitment-phobe Chandler disappeared shortly before his nuptials to Monica. Mondler’s wedding not only gave viewers the union of Friends’ superior couple but also an unexpected reveal: Rachel’s pregnancy, which was doled out through a series of hilarious misdirects.

Friends knows how to put on a good wedding. The show had plenty of practice with Ross, after all. Phoebe’s big day was almost delayed by a blizzard, but the “Smelly Cat” songstress just couldn’t wait to marry Mike. So in the snowy street outside Central Perk, the kooky couple exchanged vows.

Fitz and Simmons have been through the ringer. Being separated by interdimensional monoliths and LMD programming couldn’t keep these two apart, though. The brainy pair finally made things official, tying the knot in a picturesque setting during the series’ 100th episode. The world was ending, but at least FitzSimmons committed their lives to each other in a brief moment of peace, as their fellow agents and grandson Deke looked on.

The Pearsons’ wedding took place at a courthouse, but it still marked the start of one of TV’s most beloved families. And the bride and groom certainly didn’t look shabby.

Schmidt planned his dream wedding to a T, but he missed the occasion because he was trying to get Cece’s mother to attend. Thankfully, the pair’s buddies converted the loft, where much of their relationship played out, into the perfect venue. Talk about a dream wedding.

Maybe fans should thank Councilman Jamm for ruining Ben and Leslie’s spontaneous wedding. Instead, the couple exchanged vows — including their signature “I love you and I like you” line — in the parks and recreation department’s office in front of only their closest friends.

This fairytale duo overcame death and countless other obstacles to find their happy beginning. So it only made sense that they broke into song after they tied the knot.

Rachel and Mike’s wedding was a long time coming. Sadly, what ultimately led to the nuptials was the couple’s departure from the show, but that didn’t make their moment any less romantic. Add in the fact that the former paralegal’s portrayer, Meghan Markle, was planning a royal wedding of her own when her TV wedding aired, and it all seems kismet.

Evading the police to stage a sudden Central Park wedding doesn’t seem like the best way to get married, but the circumstance worked for Chuck and Blair. The rushed ceremony was broken up by the cops but not before the iconic duo said “three words, eight letters” and officially became husband and wife.

A cut tie. A ripped veil. A secret ceremony at Niagara Falls. Jim and Pam’s wedding was just for them, even if their Dunder Mifflin coworkers tried to steal the spotlight.

Luke and Lorelai were on the path to reconciliation when Gilmore Girls ended its seven-season run. Thank goodness Netflix swooped in nine years later with a revival that gave fans their long-awaited wedding. The sometimes-surly couple quietly wed in a small ceremony the night before their actual town square wedding. The simple aesthetic in an elaborate setting teased the next day’s big event.
Of course one of Get Smart’s wacky villains pulled something on Max and 99’s wedding day. That didn’t stop the spy duo from getting married. The stark contrast of her breathtaking floral headdress and his tattered duds flawlessly embodied their relationship.
Jules and Grayson tried to elope in Napa (a wine lover’s dream location), but they later opted for a beach wedding so Grayson’s daughter, Tampa, could be a part of the festivities. Unfortunately for them but fortunately for viewers, ceremonies weren’t permitted on the beach, so the pair — with their beloved cul-de-sac crew in tow — had to keep moving, exchanging vows as they walked along the sand.

Some shippers didn’t appreciate WestAllen and Olicity’s double wedding, but what better way is there to celebrate the end of a Nazi doppelganger invasion? There was something poetic about watching Barry and Oliver get the girls during the annual crossover as John Diggle officiated.
Regardless of whether fans were Team Michael or Team Rafael, no one could resist bursting into tears when the detective began reciting his vows to Jane in Spanish. Michael learned the language to put his commitment to Jane on display, and his delivery turned her and everyone watching into a blubbering mess.
