Why Waste a Wedding? | comment |
The guests have arrived, the priest is waiting at the altar, and the organist is playing "Here Comes the Bride". There's only one problem: the happy couple isn't getting married after all. A resourceful character suggests that one of the following occurs: another couple gets married in their stead (alternately, an older married couple may choose to renew their vows) the original bride (or, less frequently, groom) marries her (or his) true love everyone just has a big party (yes, even that "happy couple", if their wedding was under duress) The important thing is that the wedding paraphernalia won't go to waste. If they already got most of the way through the wedding the first time before it got called off, somebody may suggest they Skip to the End on the do-over. Compare and contrast Wedding Bells... for Someone Else. |

Semi-subverted by Thursday Next, because even in her admittedly screwy reality you need to formally advertise a marriage in advance; however, they immediately book the same church for a month hence, and the festivities are repurposed as an engagement party. | |

On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Fin and his fiance Phoebe decide at the last minute to stay together, but postpone getting married, but since everyone was already there, the reception still goes on as planned. Type 1 is Played With, since Rollins and Carisi have their Relationship Upgrade after Carisi reads her the speech he wrote in anticipation of officiating the ceremony. It induces a Love Epiphany in Rollins so intense she starts to cry, and she kisses him in lieu of saying anything. | |

May be implied in Dragon Quest VIII: the rulers of Argonia and Trodain had made a pact for their heirs to marry and unite the kingdoms. Unfortunately, while Princess Medea turned out well, Prince Charmles... wasn't a good match. This leads to Medea pulling a Runaway Bride during both endings; in the better one, however, the King of Argonia learned that the hero is the son of his long-lost brother and is utterly devoted to Medea, and reveals this to those gathered for the wedding ceremony. Instead of fleeing the chapel, the happy couple end up walking out together, arm-in-arm. | |

Miss Flitworth's backstory in Reaper Man: When her bridegroom disappeared just before the wedding, she thought "what life expects me to do now is moon around the place in the wedding dress for years and go completely doolally", but instead she buckled down and got on with things, including having the reception anyway because it's a crime to waste good food. They're reunited in the end. | |

Dragon Quest: Dragon Quest V: Rodrigo Briscoletti set up an Engagement Challenge for his daughter Nera — one that The Hero has to complete, as one of the dowry items is the Zenithian Shield. However, Nera picks up on the fact that your Childhood Friend Bianca has feelings of her own for the protagonist, and offers them the chance to select somebody else to marry. Whether you opt to marry Bianca, Nera, or even Nera's older sister Debora, her father is more than happy to let you use the venue he'd been preparing. And he's only slightly passive-aggressive about it in the DS version, implying that he blames Debora if you chose Bianca. May be implied in Dragon Quest VIII: the rulers of Argonia and Trodain had made a pact for their heirs to marry and unite the kingdoms.

In Corpse Bride, this trope happens to Victoria while Victor's trapped in the Land of the Dead with Emily. Upon learning Barkis is unmarried, the Everglots promptly decide to substitute him in for the groom (unaware, of course, that he plans to kill Victoria in hopes of stealing money they don't have.) Mayhew, upon relaying the news to Victor, even jokes that they "didn't want to waste the cake." And a second time at the very end, when Emily is freed of her curse and lets Victor marry Victoria, in this case the wedding initially was to be Victor and Emily's. | |

Luckily a spare judge was in attendance to speed things up a bit! At another wedding in the book (there are three!), this is inverted — after all that work arranging the wedding, the bride goes through with it, before disappearing with a groomsman in a convertible blaring the Beach Boys' "I Get Around". |

Kind of inversion in Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Harry Osborne interrupts the very happy wedding of Peter and MJ, and tries to force MJ to marry him. Liz shows up as a Last-Minute Hookup, confessing that she's always loved Harry. This ends up neutralizing him as a threat, because it makes him harder to manipulate by his evil father (who's currently trapped in another dimension, along with the real MJ, but that's a whole other story). | |

The "Crime at the Wedding" case of Hidden City opens with the upcoming wedding of the very wealthy Abner Old and the much younger Mirel Dunn. However, someone is threatening the groom's life, and the wedding is briefly suspended. Among the main suspects is Rory, Mirel's former beau. Later, it is revealed that Mirel had been forced to marry Mr. Old because her father practically sold her to the businessman to pay his debts. After seeing the error of his ways and realizing that Mirel loves Rory and not him, Mr. Old gives the wedding preparations he's set up to let Mirel marry Rory. | |

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: This trope was relatively common in pre-90s Bollywood films; usually the rationale was that the local astrologer had gone to a lot of trouble to find the most auspicious possible date, and postponing the wedding could be even more disastrous than playing eeny-meeny-miney-moe in search of a replacement groom. Still, very few of those films had it happen the way this film does, with the groom himself going to pick the male lead from the assists and literally pushing him towards the bride before a speech that could be summarized as "Just get married and spare us the pinning". | |

In The Smurfs (1981) episode "Papa's Wedding Day", the intended wedding of Papa Smurf and Flowerbell the woodnymph was called off because she was revealed to be the infiltrator intending to have Papa Smurf fall in love with her so he could be captured by Balthazar, only to soon have a Heel–Face Turn and help the Smurfs rescue Papa Smurf from Balthazar. With a big wedding cake going to waste, Papa Smurf decides that they should all enjoy it together. | |
