Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions — a couple is celebrating the start of their life together. Fiction can mar this happiness by placing a wedding in close narrative proximity to death: for example, a wedding might cut directly to someone dying; a death occurs on the same day someone else is due to get married (bonus if they die at the ceremony); or a character's death might be punctuated with a Happy Flashback to their wedding. A common variant is to juxtapose a wedding with a funeral, showing one happy ceremony and one sad one. Sub-Trope of Ironic Juxtaposition and Sister Trope to Birth-Death Juxtaposition, where death is framed alongside birth. Super-Trope to Widowed at the Wedding, where one of the happy couple is killed at the ceremony (this trope covers all other instances where they aren't the death), Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress and Wight in a Wedding Dress, which both visually imply something bad happened to the bride. May be the result of Wedding Smashers. See also Last Wish Marriage, where a wedding is a dying person's wish, and Nasty Party, if killing the guests was the goal. |

The 174th Issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) series sees longtime Freedom Fighter members Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot finally marrying in the presence of their friends and family. It cuts between Antoine and Bunnie's ceremony to contrast with Espio on his own mission in Eggman's city. When the happy couple kiss, Espio is then shown to be disintegrated by Eggman. While he isn't dead, as later issues reveal, it's treated like Espio had died in that moment. This issue also comes before the dramatic 175th issue of the series, which provides one of the biggest wham episodes that Sonic experiences in the franchise. | |

Samurai Jack: After being revived for a concluding Season 5, the story of the samurai Jack's journey to return to the past and defeat the demon Aku took many turns, one of which was that Jack met, fought, defeated, traveled with, befriended, and eventually fell in love with Ashi, an assassin belonging to the cultish Daughters of Aku which in her case was a literal example because she was born from the cult's High Priestess drinking Aku's literal essence and giving birth to the demon's child. When Aku discovered this, he used Ashi's half-demon nature as a weapon against Jack, but in the end, she helped him return to the past and accomplish his lifelong mission, after which they decided to get married. However, because Jack killed Aku in the past, the demon was no longer alive in the future, thus the Daughters of Aku were never created and there was no way for Ashi to have been born. Tragically, this becomes evident right in the middle of their wedding ceremony and Jack has to watch his true love vanish before his very eyes. A tie-in video game, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time manages to Retcon this through its Golden Ending. If the player collects enough of a certain item, then a secret scene plays where, instead of having her existence undone, Ashi is saved from being the victim of a paradox and lives happily with Jack who himself has finally gotten the peace he sorely deserves. |

The first episode of Death Parade features a recently deceased newlywed couple. While they don't actually die on the same day they get married, scenes of their happy wedding and shocking death are contrasted against one another throughout the episode to dramatic effect. In episode two, Nona mockingly introduces them to the black-haired woman as "a couple that's newlywed and newly dead!". | |

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, during "The Tale of Sir Lancelot", Lancelot rushes to the rescue of a prince who is being married against his will in Swamp Castle, and ends up killing a bunch of guests on his way to rescue him. The King is not happy that he killed 8 wedding guests, killed the best man and kicked the bride in the face on his way to rescue his son. When he's being shown round, he ends up killing more as the guests all complain about his actions, and the king can only explain it's meant to be a happy occasion, and no one should bicker and argue about who killed who. | |

A few variations in The Godfather. The movie opens with a man asking the title character, mob boss Vito Corleone, to kill the two men who beat up and tried to rape his daughter. We then learn that all this is happening behind the scenes at the wedding of Don Corleone's own daughter, Connie. The Godfather declines to have the men killed, on the logic that the other man's daughter is still alive, but is willing to have them badly beaten. Toward the end, there's a juxtaposition of death and a baptism for Connie's son, with the movie cutting back and forth between the ceremony and a montage of Corleone hitmen assassinating the heads of all the other major crime families and other potential rivals. This represents Michael Corleone's ascendency as the new head of the family, with his consolidation of hard power - through the assassinations - and soft power - by being named Godfather to his nephew at the ceremony. |

Peaky Blinders' third series begins with mob boss Tommy Shelby's wedding, and him specifically demanding that his rough-and-tumble extended family be on their best behaviour and not cause any trouble with his posh new in-laws. However, they soon realize that a mysterious guest is not who he says he is (specifically, he's a Soviet agent) and have no choice but for Arthur to quietly kill him and for his body to be cremated around the back. Tommy is not pleased. | |

In the middle of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Jonathan Harker escapes from Dracula's castle and the three brides of Dracula, taking refuge in a nuns' convent in Romania. Mina Murray, his fiancée, gets a letter informing of his whereabouts and goes to marry him in an Romanian Orthodox Church. Meanwhile, back in London, Dracula decides to make Lucy Westenra one of his vampiric brethren: he invades the Westenra household and drains Lucy of her blood. Scenes of Mina's wedding are juxtaposed with Lucy's blood draining. The next scene is Lucy inside a coffin, wearing what was supposed to be her wedding gown. | |

House of the Dragon: The welcoming feast for Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon's wedding becomes a tragedy when Laenor's secret lover, Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, gets beaten to death by Ser Criston Cole. It doesn't help that the wedding starts hours after the incident and Rhaenyra and Laenor had to recite their wedding vows in the same dining hall where Joffrey died with his blood still on the floor. | |

Doctor Who: Father's Day: The Doctor takes Rose to see the day her father Peter died, which was when he was on his way to a wedding. Rose ends up causing a Temporal Paradox by saving him, and most of the deaths happen when the characters arrive at the wedding in question. Downplayed in "The End of Time Part 2", where the second-to-last person the Tenth Doctor visits before dying and regenerating is Donna Noble, who is getting married. Appropriately, the last shot of the Doctor in that scene is through the church's cemetery, as Wilf gives him a tearful goodbye. |

CSI: The much-hated mother of the groom in "Rashomama" is killed during the wedding reception and her body is discovered tied to the back of the newlyweds' convertible as they drive away from the venue. She had sabotaged the bride's dream wedding in several ways, so naturally the young woman becomes a prime suspect, and the should've-been-happy couple have to postpone their honeymoon while the case is investigated. | |
