TV wedding scenes are special. After seasons of rooting for a couple to overcome their issues, you're invested. You want to see them get their happily ever after. You're ready to cry and cheer as they tie the knot. These scenes are memorable - seldom perfect, always fun, and usually leaving audiences smiling. Except for Game of Thrones, of course. While some TV weddings disappoint, most reward loyalty and stay true to the characters, celebrating love in a way that makes sense for the couple and the show. Vote up the scenes that left you speechless, bamboozled, or tickled pink.
