Accidental Marriage	comment	Be careful when visiting foreign parts or in the company of aliens, because you never know... you just might end up married. A character (almost always a male) discovers that a seemingly innocent action now entitles him to a permanent fashion accessory — an intense young lady who insists that they are now married. Sometimes it's a delusion on her part, but sometimes it's valid — at least by the rules of the place where she grew up. Naturally, this never happens to someone who would be willing to just walk away and leave her stranded. Or, for that matter, to someone who's willing to bite the bullet, settle down with their accidental bride, and have two and a half accidental children. When set in modern times, the trope usually takes the form of a joke, practice, or stage wedding that actually turns out to be real after the officiant is revealed to be a legitimate minister or justice of the peace. If the accidental marriage is discovered years after the fact, see Oops! I Forgot I Was Married. In real life, the possibility of a legally-binding Accidental Marriage (at least in North America) is pretty remote. Although courts in both the United States and Canada have decreed that a couple who thinks they're legally married are legally married, in most cases a marriage isn't considered valid without a marriage licence, which has to be obtained from the government before the wedding — contrary to many fictional depictions which show the paperwork being done after the ceremonial part. Likewise, in most places both parties to the wedding have to buy the licence together, meaning there are quite a few bureaucratic checks and balances in place intended to prevent fraudulent or forced marriages (and earn some money for the local government, too). Additionally, the "getting drunk and waking up married" type is not valid either, since the law requires that both parties enter into the relationship voluntarily and in full possession of their faculties. Many religions, meanwhile, have instituted "formation programs" (such as the Catholic Church's "Pre-Cana" program) which serve as instruction courses in what marriage is supposed to be, "cooling off periods" for those who might be inclined to get married hastily, and screening programs to weed out those who are not intending to be faithful or who are under duress, drunk or who accidentally said the wrong thing while grabbing an Oni's horns. The closest real-world example of this trope is probably Las Vegas (not coincidentally, a very common setting for "surprise marriage" type storylines) due to the fact that unlike many states, Nevada does not require a waiting period between obtaining the licence and the marriage itself, and that the Clark County marriage bureau office in Las Vegas is open from 8 a.m. until midnight every day of the year, even weekends and holidays. Sister Trope to Accidental Proposal (indeed, that trope can often lead to this one). Compare Real Fake Wedding, and "Not Really Married" Plot. When the alien culture happens to interpret a seemingly innocuous gesture as a challenge to a duel to the death, see Fumbling the Gauntlet.

Due to a combination of a last minute rewrite to have their characters marry, Princess Carolyn just casting an actual minister instead of an actor to save time, and Bojack and Mr. Peanutbutter signing their real names instead of their characters' names on the marriage certificate, they end up legally married when the minister files the certificate and the Hollywoo press finds out before they can get a quickie divorce. They initially decide to stay together for good PR before getting a divorce once their tv series ends, but over the course of the six months the story takes place in they fall in love for real and confess to each other during an interview. And then promptly get kicked out of the studio for getting caught...ahem, consummating the marriage.

Accidental Marriage / int_22211d68	comment	In a variant, Angela on Bones was shocked to learn that a drunken-party ceremony she'd participated in on Fiji was actually considered a valid marriage by the U.S. State Department. She'd been so drunk that she forgot it'd happened, and hadn't known that the presiding party-goer was legitimately authorized to perform weddings. This is particularly strange, because she finds this out while looking for a higher security clearance. Then, when she's attempting to marry Hodgins, their wedding is interrupted by someone telling her what she should have already known. For several more episodes, she tries to find her husband to get a divorce, but has no idea who he is. Doubly strange because, as she was intoxicated and doesn't really remember it, not to mention can't even remember what her husband looks like, she could get annulment without needing him, but for some reason chooses to go through various wacky hijinks to figure out who he is and get him to sign the divorce papers. When they find him and he refuses, it's treated as if she's now trapped in the marriage, even though that's not at all the case.

Accidental Marriage / int_238a4c21	comment	In Israel, Jewish law is the law of the land when it comes to marriage, divorce, and such matters for Jewish Israelis.note Islamic law is the law of the land for Israeli Muslims, canon law is the law of the land for Israeli Catholics, various Christian codes is the law of the land for each of the various sects, etc. Unless you were married in a foreign country, in which case that country's law applies. Annoying, we know. In Jewish law, pronouncing "You are consecrated to me through this ring in accordance with the religion of Moses and Israel" in the presence of two witnesses, then having sex, is a legal marriage. So what was intended as a joke was resolved by a legal divorce. [1] It gets even weirder, because while technically those things are all part of a wedding (though you don't even need sex, just a certain amount of time alone), even if you have some of this and not all of it, there's enough of a doubt/question that you might be married that you may actually need a divorce. And since anyone above bar/bat mitzvah can theoretically get married, stories abound of prank middle-school weddings or ultra-realistic theater weddings in which, even if they didn't do the deed, major rabbinic headaches occur. This article describes a historical example, where a man jokingly gave a very cheap ring to a female acquaintance, leading to a debate among many of the top rabbis of Europe about whether they were legally betrothed. Since many Jewish grooms don't know the formula they are to repeat, the rabbi typically has them repeat it after him word by word—but omits the Hebrew word for "to me," which the groom is supposed to know to say, so that the rabbi doesn't inadvertently marry the bride himself.

Then he accidentally marries Octavia because he grabs her hand, bringing him to four. At the rate he's going, everyone on earth is going to marry him, apparently. Thankfully in the anime adaptation, Arawn only marries the first three mentioned above. Octavia doesn't marry him because he never held her hand.

Most of the episode deals with Kate trying to get him to sign the annulment papers. It turns out the 'husband', a small time con artist, knew what happened all along but instead of contacting Kate and getting a divorce, he has been telling people that she had an accident and has been in a coma for the last fifteen years. This way he could maintain a 'semi-married' state where he would be free to date other women but his girlfriends would not pressure him to divorce his wife and marry them. Kate is definitely not amused when she finds out about that.

However, once the misunderstanding is cleared up, Anya affirms that she won't do anything to Clarke that Clarke doesn't want her to do, and Bellamy agrees to help support the 'lie' of their initial marriage until the events in Mount Weather help Clarke and Anya develop deeper feelings for each other. In "This Must Be the Place", when Clarke and Anya retreat to a bunker after escaping Mount Weather, Clarke unwittingly proposes to Anya when she suggests a 'union' when discussing the possibility of an alliance against Mount Weather and unwittingly gives Anya the three primary offerings of such a bond. Anya assumes that Lincoln told Clarke what was involved in a Union during his time as a prisoner at the dropship, and thus gives Clarke the same equivalent offerings before the "connection of spirits" as Clarke and Anya have sex for the first time.

Princess Peach is hypnotized into marrying Bowser (an odd couple if ever there was one) which is what fulfills a prophecy which begins the destruction of the universe.

Hilariously, for the remainder of the game, Bowser insists on behaving as though the marriage was legally binding, referring to Peach as his wife (much to her annoyance).

Later episodes expand on this story: Joy had been kicked out of the house for her out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and wanted to get herself a man to take care of her. Earl, meanwhile, was 3 weeks into a relationship with another woman named Jessie. Joy conspires with her friends to get him drunk, knowing that he wouldn't go for it if he knew she was pregnant. (Earl just thought she had a bit of a belly, not that that belly had a baby in it.) After returning from Vegas, they move into Earl's friend Frank's trailer (Earl had been Frank's roommate, but Frank wound up in prison after a heist gone wrong.) And they use the Metallica tickets that Earl had received for his and Jessie's 3-week anniversary for their "honeymoon," during which Joy knocks out Jessie's teeth.

Wolfram spends all of dinner needling the new monarch Shibuya Yuuri, and succeeds in angering him by insulting his mother — whereupon Yuuri slaps him across the face. Unbeknownst to Yuuri, this constitutes a proposal of marriage. Instead of clearing up the confusion, Wolfram's brothers urge Yuuri to 'take it back', but Yuuri, thinking they mean the insult of the slap, swears he never will. The insulted and embarrassed Wolfram then throws his cutlery on the ground, and when Yuuri picks it up, it turns out that dropping a knife is a challenge to a duel, and Yuuri has accepted by picking it up. Poor Yuuri is deeply bewildered. Yuuri wins the duel, and it's unclear whether having lost the duel means Wolfram isn't allowed to decline the marriage proposal, or if he just doesn't want to anymore; either way, the engagement stands. Fanwank is that Wolfram lost his chance to decline, and Yuuri can't back out since he already swore to never take it back. Their marital state is pretty much in limbo. Wolfram falls for Yuuri pretty hard before long, and becomes fanatically possessive of his fiancÃ©, who is both naturally oblivious and in denial about this whole 'engaged to a guy' thing. Hilarity ensues. In a later episode a childhood friend of Wolfram's who considers them engaged due to similar circumstances appears, and Yuuri falls for the knife trick again, only this time he also accidentally points a spork at the challenger, which formally indicates that you have stolen someone's lover and intend to fight for them. Wolfram is touched. The writers love this trope.

At the end of it, he tells Kirk that Kirk should always take care of his new wives, and wishes him to take as much joy from them as the ambassador once did. (In a case of cultural projection, he views Kirk as a clan-head, and thus the actions of McCoy were Kirk's responsibility. Because it was demonstrated that Kirk could care for his wives better than he could, he was forced by his religious beliefs to pass their care to Kirk.)

When the play is staged at the end of the film, Piggy swaps Gonzo for a real minister. There would be some debate after that film, in the Muppet-Verse, whether Kermit had actually married Miss Piggy. (He certainly didn't want anything like that, but The Show Must Go On...) Itâ€™s muddied even further by the fact that the in-movie â€œreal ministerâ€� is actually played by a real minister. Years later they're still playing off this one. In the extras section of the first season Muppet Show DVD collection are a series of interviews with the Muppets. Piggy confirms that they are, Kermit is adamant that they aren't... and no one even ever says the "M" word. And in The Muppets (2011), it's still left somewhat ambiguous! They cohabited a mansion outside of Hollywood, where Piggy left Kermit prior to the film, and when they're reunited in the course of events she says, "You never intended to marry me." While that's certainly true and in accordance with the events of Manhattan, it's unclear whether the marriage was legit or if she left because she was tired of waiting for him to decide to make it real.

She offered it because he'd been charming her to get information. Cameca understands that the Doctor must leave her, but he's so upset by the pain he inadvertently caused her that he carefully avoid romantic entanglements for several centuries and incarnations afterwards. Ten incarnations later, the Eleventh Doctor somehow gets engaged to Marilyn Monroe off-screen in "A Christmas Carol". "That was never a real...chapel..." Amy Pond accidentally married Henry VIII. The Tenth Doctor's throwaway line about marrying Queen Elizabeth is explained in "The Day of the Doctor". He thought she was a shape-shifter and was trying to Bluff the Impostor when he proposed. Turns out the alien was her horse — and he didn't count on the real deal saying yes. Elizabeth is quite serious and they take a moment out from the developing crisis to have a brief but licit wedding ceremony before the Doctor dashes off to the future to save the Earth — and England which is the part of it his new wife cares about. The Tenth Doctor's comment to the Ood about how Liz One will have to get a new nickname suggests they had a wedding night — eventually.

Because it was demonstrated that Kirk could care for his wives better than he could, he was forced by his religious beliefs to pass their care to Kirk.) In the Star Trek: Discovery novel Fear Itself, when Saru meets the Goran "hub", she offers him tea, then says they are now betrothed, and after their marriage is consumated, their children will eat him. She's kidding.

When the misunderstanding is cleared years later and the now teenaged Chi Chi gets depressed about it, though, Goku agrees to go through it anyway since he gave his word to her. They eventually have two children together.

Her fluency leads the elf Windwolf to believe she understands the culture as well. When he offers her a gift "traditional for the occasion" he means the occasion of their betrothal, but she thinks he means the occasion of saving his life. When he asks if she wants to have sex with him, she thinks he means a quick roll in the hay, but he's offering his people's wedding ceremony (and a life-altering spell placed on her).

However, "Saffron" was actually a con-artist, taking advantage of the obscure tradition to get aboard without raising suspicion, with the ultimate intent of hijacking the ship. However, Mal is lucky in that Saffron has been married many other times, some of her husbands are still alive because she only ripped them off, and the Alliance has laws against bigamy. Suffice to say, the marriage is invalid. Though Saffron does tease him about it the next time they meet.

(meaning to his girlfriend Shinobu) after winning the Tag Race in the first chapter/episode. For the first movie, Ataru discovers that an alien princess he played tag with as a child is interpreting the time he jumped on her shadow as a pledge to marry her. It turns out the tradition she was naming was mostly ignored by everyone, and it also turns out that young Ataru had lied about jumping on her shadow. Also in both the manga and TV Series, there was a story where a little earth girl with a crush on Jariten gave him some chocolate on Valentine's day, then telling him that by accepting it he'd promised to marry her. Everyone but Jariten found the whole thing cute and funny.

Accidental Marriage / int_e9e265b6	comment	Fire Emblem: Awakening: More like "accidental first date", but okay. In Stahl's B support with Cherche has him asking her to help him gather firewood. She quickly tells him that in her hometown, a guy inviting a girl to gather firewood indicates romantic interest since firewood is supposed to ignite the flames of passion in the girl's heart. Stahl is greatly embarrassed when he hears that, but they go on this "first date" anyway. A meta version of this can actually get sprung on distracted players: There's a mechanic that allows the various characters to develop relationships, and if two of them reach S rank support, get married. All well and good. The problem is that at about halfway through the game, Prince Chrom must marry one of his five possible brides* or a generic village maiden, if all five are already accounted for or dead for plot reasons, meaning that when the player hits that point in the story he'll automatically marry whoever has the highest support level, even if it's not S rank yet. If the player didn't realize that the marriage had to happen, it's entirely possible for Chrom to end up with someone unintended by the player. This is sort of lampshaded if he marries Olivia, who joins the party the chapter before this happens.

Magnolia Arch comes from Fort Lune on the Moon of Luxendarc, where flowers are rare enough to be comparable to jewels and offering one to a lady is akin to asking her hand in marriage. When she crash-lands on Luxendarc, Yew Geneolgia finds her unconscious and rouses her with a magnolianote This is not quite a coincidence; once she's awake, he gives the flower to her. Accepting the flower and accepting the proposal are technically different actions, but as she sees it, Yew still proposed to her, which kick-starts their relationship; this doesn't come to light until the middle of the game.
