Line 153:
* Used/subverted in [[A Different World]]. As Whitley prepares to marry Byron, Dwayne walks in just as the minister is reciting the ". . .hold your peace" line. He's about to speak, but thinks better of it and sits. However, when the time comes for Whitley to recite her vows, she freezes. Seeing her uncertainty, it is * then* that Dwayne leaps up, declares his love for her and begs her to marry him instead of Byron.
* Lampshaded in [[Amen]]. When asked if their are any objections to her marrying Reuben, Thelma turns around and glares at everyone, then walks up and down the aisle to ensure that no one interrupts.
* Used many times in soap operas. A particularly notable example was in ''[[General Hospital]]'', where Laura's ex-husband Scotty shows up to catch the bouquet at her and Luke's wedding to protest the marriage long after the vows have been said. Guess something about his wife leaving him for her rapist must really bother him.
* In the third season finale of ''[[Gavin and Stacey]]'', this gets quadruple-subverted at Nessa and Dave's wedding. {{spoiler|The vicar does the standard speech and no-one says anything. He says "That's always a tense moment". ''Then'' Smithy shows up. He tries to persuade Nessa not to marry Dave but she says she loves him. Then Dave persuades her that she really doesn't and just wants a father for Neil the Baby.}}
* ''[[Bones]]'' has this done with the wedding of {{spoiler|Angela and Hodgins}}. As it turns out, {{spoiler|Angela}} was already married.
