(add case where the first love is shipwrecked Gilligan's Island style and declared dead in absentia, only to return from the Deserted Island to create an awkward love triangle)
Line 16:
 
Or, [[The Rival|groom-to-be]] harbors a sinister secret that is known to the audience but has managed to keep it well concealed from his bride-to-be, her family and guests. The hero – not necessarily a romantic rival – bursts in, exposes the villain, and [[Wedding Smashers|all hell breaks loose]].
 
Or, one of the prospective spouses is [[Oops, I Forgot I Was Married|already married]], but believes in legally good faith their first love to be deceased (ie: last seen just before a disastrous shipwreck several years ago, long missing and ultimately declared by a court of competent jurisdiction as legally presumed dead). Imagine the shock when the long-missing sailor walks into the chapel during the ceremony after seven years absence — trapped on a [[Deserted Island]], [[Gilligan's Island|Gilligan-style]].
 
In the end, most of the time, [[The Rival]] is deposed, the hero and [[Love Interest]] kiss and make up (and might even get hitched on the spot, after all; [[Why Waste a Wedding?]]?), and they all live [[Happily Ever After]].
