* Played with in book 2 of ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', where {{spoiler|the characters ''claim'' to have eloped in advance of the big day, so that they can claim to have a baby on the way without, presumably, offending anyone's moral standards}}.

* [[Boston Legal]]: Shirley and {{spoiler|Carl}} end up doing this when her priest and his rabbi nearly come to blows about how the wedding will run. They have a rather nasty fight - and then Shirley walks in, apologises, tells him that the only truly important thing is that she's marrying him, and agrees enthusiastically when he suggests eloping. They end up having a double ceremony with {{spoiler|Alan and Denny}} in Nimmo Bay. Viewers [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|pulled out]] [[Tear Jerker|hankies]]. They don't elope, but their wedding is ''much'' quieter than originally planned, blending the two halves of this trope.

* An unusual variant occurs in ''[[The Time Travelers Wife]]'', where the fancy wedding goes off without a hitch -- except that it's the titular groom's future self, rather than his present self, who ends up standing at the altar. When his present self gets back to the present, he and his wife stop by a justice of the peace just to make sure that ''this'' version of him is officially married as well.

* In [[Rocko's Modern Life]], when Filburt and Dr. Hutchison get married, they have a big, traditional wedding planned. But because their families (cats and turtles) don't get along, and because Dr. Hutchison's mother was too involved, the couple have a Drive-Thru wedding before appearing at the park where the ceremony was to be held.
