The act of moving up a wedding date due to extenuating circumstances. For some reason the wedding needs to occur sooner rather than later. Common versions include Elopement, when the parents oppose the marriage, and the Star-Crossed Lovers need to make it official before the parents stop them. Might start with a Perilous Marriage Proposal. The exact opposite justification is the Shotgun Wedding, when the parents insist on the lovers marrying, usually because "My daughter is not a slut" or even more serious, a baby is on the way. Might be considered a Dead Horse Trope in these versions nowadays. It can also be a very moving and realistic event; either in a war movie (still a Truth in Television trope, but due to Values Dissonance between Hollywood and the Heartland, it isn't seen much anymore), or in some cases someone very close to the bride and/or groom is dying, and everyone agrees to move up the wedding so they can live to see the couple get married. For some cases where a wedding was rushed because the couple wanted to, see My Own Private "I Do". Can lead to a Wartime Wedding and may be a Last Wish Marriage. If the couple can't get the official wedding, they might opt for an unofficial, deeply felt wedding-like private ceremony that leads to Metaphorical Marriage. Contrast Wedlock Block. If the actual ceremony is sped up, see Skip to the End. |

In A Walk to Remember, the young couple gets married after an extremely short courtship. It's because he knows she's dying, and "getting married at the same church her mom did" was one of the things she wanted to do before she died. | |

Bella and Edward have a very quick wedding in [1] so that Bella can be turned into a vampire before she is too much older than Edward is.note In case you wonder why they have to be married to turn her into a vampire: Bella wants to have sex with Edward as a human once before doing it as a vampire, and Edward is against sex before marriage. | |

One chapter of Black Jack revolves around a young lady with cancer so advanced that only the titular charater's skills can save her life. However, she's absolutely certain she's going to die and is obsessed with the idea of getting married to the point of refusing to so much as be treated without being married first. So Black Jack marries her in a quickie ceremony, and once he's done giving her life-saving surgery, immediately divorces her. | |

Hideyoshi, who had already lost his relatives and was eager to start a family of his own, agreed. Despite Eva's motives, the two are quite Happily Married and actually the most stable of the married couples. | |

Kevin & Kell The relationship between Lindesfarne Dewclaw and Fenton Fuscus has zig-zagged this trope every which way: Initially, in the immediate aftermath of the Microtalon incident, Fenton decided not to return to Caliban Academy, got a job with Flea-Bay (later Hare-Link), and immediately asked Lindesfarne to marry him. Lindesfarne, however, wanted to remain in Caliban, and decided they needed to wait. When they finally did get engaged, it was on the condition that they wait until Lindesfarne finished getting her bachelor's degree before getting married. She had expected to need another year to finish, but a new ruling decreed that the AP Foraging credits she had earned as a herbivore (before officially changing her diet to insectivore) do count on her transcript, meaning Lindesfarne could graduate in May. She kept her promise to Fenton to go ahead and marry. And Fenton's mother, Desdemona, had been trying to invoke this trope. Why she did so was only found out the day before the wedding: Desdemona is really a vampire bat, and she was afraid once Lindesfarne found out, she would call off the wedding. Later, Aby Eyeshine proposed to her boyfriend, Mark Meadowvole, so he could adopt his orphaned nephew, Tyler. This being Aby and Mark, they later turned this into a Literal Metaphor by marrying during a MOUSCAR pit stop. The ceremony took just 20 seconds. Averted with Rudy Dewclaw and Fiona Fennec: Following Their First Time, they agree not to rush to the altar, choosing to see what happens once they graduate from Beige University. Though they begin to feel pressure specifically after the engagement of friends Edgar Carnassial and Miranda Hutch. |

Dangerverse Harry and Ginny get married on May Day of 1997, before Ginny even turns sixteen. This is partially because they want some powerful symbolic act to finish off the spell-breaking year, partially because there is a prophecy that the "lion's line" must continue before Voldemort can be defeated, but mainly it's because Draco Black is prophecied to die that summer and wants to be there for his brother's wedding. | |

In Canyon Passage, George and Lucy have been engaged for an indeterminate period of time (certainly months, and possibly years). Lucy is pushing for him to set a date, but he keeps putting it off as he wants to strike it rich first. Then George suddenly surprises her by announcing that he'll marry her this coming Sunday. What Lucy doesn't know is that's doing it because he plans to skip town immediately afterwards. Fate intervenes before the wedding can take place, however. | |

In Harry Potter, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are married after a relatively short courtship because of the war. The marriage nearly disintegrates when Tonks becomes pregnant, prompting Remus to panic and attempt to pull an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy bailing on her (he's afraid their child will be, one way or another, a victim of his "affliction"). Harry, who has some experience with losing parents and parent figures, rightly calls him on his B.S. Apparently a common occurrence during the wars against Voldemort. Molly and Arthur rushed their marriage the first time, and Bill and Fleur the second. Molly actually resents Bill and Fleur for this since she doesn't like Fleur and accuses them of rushing. When called on how she and Arthur had a speedy courtship and marriage, Molly protests that there was no point in waiting since they were in love. |

After failing to find anyone willing to conduct the ceremony at short notice, all of their friends get ordained as ministers online (Sheldon apparently gets ordained twice, once by the State of California and once by the Klingon High Council) and conduct the ceremony as a team on the roof of Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, just as the Google Earth satellite was photographing the area. They time it so that the photo is taken just as the newlyweds kiss. | |

The City Elf Origin in Dragon Age: Origins features the player character's arranged wedding, which is noted several times to have been pushed forward. The community leader, Valendrian, eventually admits that he moved the wedding earlier because he heard Duncan of the Grey Wardens (an organization that hunts and kills monsters called darkspawn) was coming to find recruits and especially to speak with the player; the player was trained by their mother, herself an excellent fighter. To avoid the player getting recruited into the Wardens and depriving the elves of a promising young person, he moved the wedding ahead. | |

In X-Wing: The Bacta War, Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik become engaged partway through the novel. When Mirax's father Booster finds out about this later, he strongly objects (understandably, as Corran was the son of the policeman who caught him and sent him to Kessel for five years). He's called away on business, but fully intends to "discuss" things with them once he's finished. To avoid this, they have a brief marriage ceremony aboard Lusankya (with Commander Antilles, temporary captain of the ship, in the role of "priest", and a few droids as witnesses). Booster takes this surprisingly well, though he loses a bet with fellow smuggler Talon Karrde because of this - Karrde had bet that they would do exactly this. | |

In Steven Universe, Ruby proposes to Sapphire and they get married a couple of days later. This is because they love each other deeply that they don't understand that a wedding traditionally takes months to arrange (usually because people want to take the time to plan it perfectly and then have other things to do in the meantime, as well as wanting to spend some more time unmarried). The Gems see no point in holding off a procession for that long; they actually have the time to do it so soon, and to cement that their relationship is by their choice and not by Rose's approval (as they had just learned that Rose lied about her true identity, which put into question the validity of their own relationship). | |

In The Flash (2014), Iris tries to do this with Barry when the whole city seems to be experiencing a lot of bad luck. Things don't go according to plan, however, as the priest they try to get to do the ceremony has a severe allergic reaction to the cinnamon-based incense the altar boy used by mistake. The end of the Crisis on Earth-X Crossover had Barry and Iris decide to stop taking chances after their planned wedding was crashed by alternate universe Nazis and enlist the help of ordained minister John Diggle to pull off one of these. Then Felicity decides to take advantage of the moment to tie the knot with Oliver at the same time. The "speed" part of the trope name makes perfect sense, given that Barry has to grab John from Star City and speed him back to Central City (and yes, John pukes yet again). |

Kris Longknife ends up having to plan and execute her wedding in a matter of hours, because she knows that orders have been cut that would put her and her boyfriend in the same chain of command, making the relationship against regulations. So they hurriedly get married before the orders arrive so that their relationship is grandfathered in as legal before they are officially aware of the orders. | |

Played with and averted in Frozen (2013). Prince Hans of the Southern Isles lies to the other dignitaries that he and Anna spoke their vows just before she died of the frozen heart curse placed on her by Elsa, in order to create a false claim to the throne of Arendelle and have Elsa executed for "treason." Note that Anna originally wanted to do the same thing at the coronation party, and Elsa refused. Hans tries to reason with her, but Elsa refuses to hear him out and asks him to leave. | |

In the ending of Lethal Weapon 4 Riggs and Lorna finally agree to marry when Lorna is giving birth. Lorna, however, insists on getting married before she gives birth, despite being in the middle of contractions, so Leo Getz is sent to find a priest in the hospital... and then he ends up bringing in a rabbi, who uses a butchered and heavily abbreviated set of the vows. | |

Paul Sinclair, hero of John Hemry's Against All Enemies (and three previous books), was planning to get married shortly after transferring off USS Michaelson. But Paul's made some powerful enemies in the earlier books, and someone arranged for his orders to be changed: now he's going on a four-year posting to Mars. Two days after leaving the Michaelson. It's practically a miracle that his fiancée manages to get short-notice access to the chapel. | |

In the original Pride and Prejudice, the courtship between Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins is quite short, as his character was not suited for a long courtship, and Charlotte Lucas just wants to be married rather than wooed. In the same book, Mr. Wickham and Lydia. He at first is not planning on getting married to Lydia at all, and only when they are found and some monetary pressure is judiciously applied does he agree. She then needs to be married out of the Gardiner house because she's been living with him, and coming home unmarried would cause a scandal. |

They technically miss the deadline, but upon hearing the circumstances, the Judge agrees to work a little late to perform the ceremony, and Tim and Delilah stand as witnesses for the wedding. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Ramsay Snow kidnaps the recently widowed Lady Hornwood (her only son had also recently died). Immediately after doing so, he marries her and then rapes her in front of witnesses in order to make clear that they are married and the marriage is consummated, so he can claim her lands. He then locks her in a tower where she chews off her own fingers before starving to death. Edmure Tully's engagement to Roslyn Frey lasts exactly as long as it takes to get the groom and certain VIP guests to the Frey ancestral castle for the wedding. It is an Arranged Marriage to secure a vital alliance between Edmure's liege lord Robb Stark and Roslyn's father, who "has come to mislike long engagements" ever since Robb broke a marriage pact with him. The marriage goes forward as planned, but the alliance doesn't last past the consummation. |

Bridgerton: This being Regency England, a couple needs a license from the church in order to marry right away and skip the bannsnote weddings would need to be announced to the public for a few weeks before a couple could marry. Simon and Daphne apply for one, and the gossipy narrator Lady Whistledown comments that the only reasons they would apply for one are "true love or concealing a scandal". Unbeknownst to each other their love is mutual, but they do it primarily to stop Simon dishonoring Daphne with a private makeout session at a party from being public knowledge. Queen Charlotte initially intervenes against their license because she's pissed Daphne dumped her nephew, but Simon makes a moving speech about his love for Daphne that changes her mind, and Simon and Daphne wed. | |

While everyone thinks this a case of Nobility Marries Money, he is actually doing it to protect the poor girl from any more unscrupulous suitors—especially since a marriage conducted by an Archbishop can only be ever annulled by The Pope himself, who can hardly be bothered to. | |

Elizabeth at first protests ("I don't think now is the best time!") before agreeing and asking Barbossa to marry them right there mid-battle ("I'M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT!"). Barbossa thinks she's mad, but recites it anyway while all three keep fighting Davy Jones' undead fish-men crew. | |

Queens of Mewni: Asteria's marriage to Orion happened a lot sooner than they had planned because Asteria had conceived Etheria, and since tradition had the heiress crowned queen at her wedding, Asteria became the youngest queen of the Butterfly Kingdom crowned (until Luna the Child) at sixteen. There's a persistent rumor that Sideria sped up her marriage to Patric for the same reason, as they got married only two months after their engagement was announced and it was known that Sideria and Patric had already had sex. That they announced that Sideria was pregnant with Celena two weeks after the wedding does not help the rumors. |

They don't actually decide to go through with it before Sugou is exposed for the criminal he is (including being the one holding Asuna's mind in a virtual prison in the first place) and the idea of him marrying Asuna is promptly dropped. | |

In The Farewell, the Wang family learns that their matriarch has cancer and they want to arrange one last family get-together to say good-bye... without actually letting her know that she's dying, in keeping with a long-standing cultural idea that it is the family's responsibility to carry that grief in her place. As a result, her great-nephew Hao Hao proposes to his girlfriend of three months, Aiko, so the family can gather for their wedding. | |

In The Secret Agreement, Kyuusai sees Iori leaving a famous tearoom with his family and fiancée and tells Yuuichi about it. When Iori turns up later the same night, he confirms it was an omiainote meeting of a pair of marriage candidates and casually mentions that the wedding is the next day, and if it weren't for keeping up appearances they probably wouldn't have bothered with the omiai at all. | |

An attempt to do this in Around the World in Eighty Days inadvertently saves the day when the happy couple discovers that a minister can't be retained because it's Sunday, not Monday, meaning there's still time to win the eponymous race. | |

Severus and Lily in The Peace Not Promised planned to wait at least for graduation, but after the sudden death of her father, meaning that Lily will no longer have anyone supporting her, and will be selling her home and everything else with little left after paying off the mortgage, and she can't have her dream wedding anyway without her father giving her away, Lily doesn't want to be alone any longer. | |

On Downton Abbey, deconstructed, somewhat; Daisy feels pressured into going through with the wedding due to William's impending death, and subsequently feels that the whole thing was a lie. | |
