'''Humperdink:''' Man and wife! Say man and wife!|''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''}}

 

** It's explicitly not a real wedding, just something she asked to be thrown together since she wanted to say the words before giving birth.

* The mid-battle marriage in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: At World's End'' skips rather a lot of the traditional ceremony and is frequently interrupted in very, very strange ways.

* In ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]'', Prince Humperdinck rushes his wedding to Buttercup because the good guys are [[Storming the Castle]]. Subverted later when Westley points out that she never said, "I do." (In the book he gives the significantly less satisfying observation, "Well, divorces happen all the time, don't they?")

** He's correct either way, especially considering the marriage is never consummated, and thus can be annulled. In addition, the whole deal was made under duress, although if Humperdinck's plan had worked, there wouldn't have been anyone to contest the matter, least of all Buttercup, as he planned to kill her immediately afterwards to foment a war.

* ''[[Shrek]]'': Fiona asks the vicar to cut straight to the "I do"s so that she can be kissed by Lord Farquaad before the sun sets and so break the spell on her.

* ''[[Spaceballs]]''. Parodied (of course); they're skipping to the end because the ''minister'' is fed up with all the interruptions and wants the ceremony over with. The (current) principals don't mind all that much.

'''Minister:''' "Good! You're married. Kiss her!" }}

 

* The [[Dixie Chicks]] song "White Trash Wedding": ''Say "I do" and kiss me quick, [[Shotgun Wedding|'cause the baby's on its way]].''

 

* Rabbi Bob Alper tells about a sweltering outdoor summer wedding, where the bride asks him to make it short. The ceremony consisted of, "Do you both want to be married?" "Yes." "You are." See it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVRLn1NtBho here], starting about 2:15.
