Line 95:
* Owen Wilson's character does this in ''[[Wedding Crashers]]''.
** Although this one is a bit different in that he doesn't want to stop the wedding, just talk to one of the bridesmaids.
* Averted in ''[[What About Bob?]]?'', where the titular Bob is marrying his psychiatrist's sister. The good doctor, having been driven insane by his patient, is only able to gurgle at the critical moment—he then regains his speech (first words: "[[Big No|Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!]]") ''after'' vows have been exchanged.
* Spoofed in ''[[While You Were Sleeping]]'', in which the main character—having been pretending to be the fiance of a man in a coma in order to spare the feelings of his family, is now in the chapel about to be married to him when she's in fact fallen in love with his brother—doesn't even let the priest get past "Dearly beloved..." before she raises an objection. And then the brother, who is the best man, feels he must also object. And then the groom's ''real'' fiancée storms in and objects. And then ''her husband'' objects to her objection...
* The climactic scene of ''Rugrats in Paris'' was one of these, and doubles as a [[Big No]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] since it {{spoiler|is Chuckie's first word: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"}}.
Line 176:

'''Oscar:''' What'd you do, stand up in the middle and say he wasn't dead? }}
* In ''[[VegasVega$]]'', Dan goes to his secretary's wedding to stop her from marrying a guy who plans to marry her, then kill her and her son in order to collect the very large trust fund from her father which otherwise would be payable to her son. He has the police run a patrol car up to the church with siren, telling the guy that they found the witness that will prove he did this before. The guy panics and runs. It doesn't hurt that there's probably a lot of [[UST]] between Dan and his Secretary anyway.
