Line 1: {{trope}} An [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] implemented by way of two (or sometimes [[Polyamory\|more]]) characters from different sources getting married while drunk in [[Viva Las Vegas\|Las Vegas]]. Almost always starts off with the involved parties waking up the next morning and discovering, in order, 1) [[Hangover Sensitivity\|their hangovers]], 2) [[Bedmate Reveal\|each other]], 3) [[Naked Freak-Out\|their nudity]], and 4) [[Fourth Date Marriage\|their wedding rings and/or marriage license]]. Photos and/or video of an [[Elvis Impersonator]] officiating at their nuptials are optional, but always appreciated. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as they [[What Did I Do Last Night?\|attempt to reconstruct what happened the previous night]] (in addition to the obvious) and reveal/obscure their respective histories and secrets to/from each other. Most often results in a decision to stay married, at least temporarily, until some issue or question is resolved. The crossover elements are further brought into play when explanations must be made to their coworkers, friends and/or families. In most cases the story assumes the two continuities have always existed together in the same world, and have just not intersected before the happy occasion. This is a relatively new subtype of [[Crossover]], apparently born ~~within~~during the ~~last~~early ~~few years~~2000s. It seems to have first appeared on the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic site ''Twisting The Hellmouth'' (which you may have noticed due to the below), but stories of this format have been spotted in other venues such as ~~fanfiction~~[[Fanfiction.net]], suggesting it is an actively-growing meme. [[I Thought It Meant\|Note that it is ''not'' simply a Crossover that takes place ''in'' Las Vegas.]]▼ See also [[Bedmate Reveal]]. Sometimes involves an [[Accidental Marriage]]. ▲[[I Thought It Meant\|Note that it is not simply a Crossover that takes place in Las Vegas.]] {{examples}} * ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=15476 Bad Luck]'', a ''Buffy''/''[[Teen Titans (~~Animation~~animation)\|Teen Titans]]'' cross in which Xander and Jinx wake up to find themselves married. Unusual for a Vegas fic in that there is a dimensional transition involved as well. * [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6827881/1/What_Happens_in_Vegas_Doesnt_Stay_in_Vegas What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Stay in Vegas] is a one-shot where [[Naruto\|Sasori]] moves to Vegas when the city of New York sues him for turning the kids into puppets. After a drunken night, Sasori ends up married to... Haine Otomiya from The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross of all people. [[It Got Worse\|Their marriage doesn't end well]], to say the least. * ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=616 A Malfoy's Mistake]''. [[Harry Potter\|Draco Malfoy]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer\|Willow Rosenberg]] wake up to a new world together. * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090105224430/http://www.tthfanfic.org/story.php?no=5342 Vegas Wedding]''. [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer\|Faith Lehane]] and [[Stargate SG-1\|Daniel Jackson]]. * ''All My Outers'' by PsychoSama is similar: [[Ranma ~~One Half~~½\|Ranma Saotome]] gets married to [[Sailor Moon\|Hotaru Tomoe, Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, and Setsuna Meioh]] in a Muslim country (as Vegas is not somewhere you can marry four girls ''at once''). Oh, by the way, a love potion was involved, but then again, ''Ranma's'' involved, so this isn't too surprising... * Happened in a real [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] in 2004 when ''[[Wolverine]]'' married Sara Pezzini, bearer of the ''[[Witchblade (Comic Book)\|Witchblade]]'', in Las Vegas. Of course, many such crossovers don't affect the continuity of the main books (and in fact the two had already crossed over in an in-continuity story, which this story ignores). * ''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-618 Accidental]'' by Jinni (at Twisting the Hellmouth): One of the first, and best, examples of the trope: Willow Rosenberg of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' wakes up married to Sam Seaborne of ''[[The West Wing]]''. * In ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13128579/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Vegas-Mishaps Harry Potter and the Vegas Mishaps]'' by "JoeHundredaire"/"alienyouthct", Harry, in Vegas for a Wizarding conference, wakes up to find himself married to several of the [[Young Avengers]] (all female, fortunately). Hermione, who is attending the conference with him, wakes up the same morning ''not'' married but in the aftermath of an evening spent with two persons whom she would have previously thought were too female for her tastes... * On the other side of the great comic book divide, there is ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11835820/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Vegas-Marriage Harry Potter and the Vegas Marriage]'' by "CurtFirefly", in which Harry ends up married to a [[Teen Titans\|Teen Titan]]... * Still with the superheroes, ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12514982/1/A-Witch-and-an-Amazon-Walk-into-a-Bar A Witch and an Amazon Walk into a Bar]'' by Philosophize: Wonder Woman and a female Harry Potter get married in Vegas. {{reflist}} [[Category:Fanfic Tropes]] [[Category:Vegas Crossover]] [[Category:Wedding and Engagement Tropes]]
