A couple or several couples are ready to get married, but they're not allowed to (probably because someone's parents won't allow it) because someone else's nuptials (usually an older sister's) have to take place first. This can cause delightful complications if a lower-priority couple needs to Altar the Speed. Settle for Sibling is often the result of this. Compare Unable to Support a Wife and Dowry Dilemma. |

Cristabel, the "hottie" in The Hottie and the Nottie, self-imposes this trope: She won't even think about having a relationship until her best friend, the hideously ugly June Phigg, has a boyfriend. | |

In 10 Things I Hate About You, the '90s Setting Update to The Taming of the Shrew, a strict father will not allow his social butterfly of a younger daughter to date until his iconoclastic older daughter does. | |

A variation in A Brother's Price. This is a world where men are so rare that they marry every sister in a family, sisters who themselves are descended from several different women. After the disastrous marriage to Keifer, the Queens tell their eldest surviving daughter, who is very much in love, that the princesses can only marry the boy if all of her living of-age sisters agree to marry him. Since one has been missing for months and another is too put off by Keifer to consider it, Ren has a hard time of it. | |

"Prince Lindworm" has the titular character demand to be wed ahead of his twin brother (with the rallying cry "a bride for me before a bride for you!"), as he is well aware that his monstrous form compared to his brother's has made him the ire of his family. He ensures that he is wed before the other prince by blocking the latter's routes to other kingdoms during his own search for a bridal candidate. | |

In the Bob's Burgers episode "The Gayle Tales", Tina writes a story in which four sisters (played by herself, Louise, Gayle, and a gender-flipped Gene) cannot get married until the oldest, Gayle, does so. Unfortunately, Gayle is too shy and neurotic to get a man, to the chagrin of Tina, who wishes to marry Jimmy Jr.'s fantasy counterpart. | |

One of The Brady Bunch movies has the parents reluctant to officially approve Jan's marriage plans because Marcia is single. Naturally this puts Marcia in an awkward position, as she explains to a random male stranger she meets shortly thereafter...and, naturally, this begins a relationship and a double wedding soon ensues. | |
