TV Wedding vs TV Wedding

Hello Everyone,

There are so many to choose from, so here is a selection of a few (there are loads) and to mix it up they are going up against each other. So this is how I am going to score them, the Wedding Dress a score out of 10, the marriage not ending in divorce 1, the marriage lasting way into Ever After a 2 and 3 points for something dramatic happening which either ruined or interrupted the wedding day!


So in alphabetical order let's begin:-


Charmed

Written by Constance M. Burge, produced by Aaron Spelling about the Halliwell sister that ran from 1998 until 2006, aired on Sky Living. Only three of the four sisters were married, because quite frankly Prue (Shannen Doherty) was annoying the best thing they did was write her out and bring in the missing sister Pagie Matthews (Rose McGowen).


Piper Halliwell and Leo.


Played by Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause.




Bless these two characters, it was always a difficult relationship with the Elders and a desire for a normal life constantly ruining their marital bliss. Their wedding appears Season Three, Episode Fifteen "Just Hitched".

Wedding Dress:- 6/10, 
a very typical 2001 wedding dress, nothing overly amazing but this episode wasn't about the dress!

Marriage:- 1, 
they actually split up because of Leo becoming an Elder for a time but then they let him be with her, forever and have magical babies.

Wedding Day:- 3, 
True to form Prue ruins the day by getting possessed by a demon!

Total.....10/15

Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner

Played by Alyssa Milano and Julian McMahon.


Phoebe actually appears in a lot of wedding dresses during the course of this programme, but mostly due to Demons, Ghosts or spells gone wrong! This being her first marriage, which unknown to her future husband being Belthazar the future Source, aka King of the Evil Underworld but she apparently isn't that smart. Season Four, Episode Fifteen "Marry-Go-Round". 

Wedding Dress:- 3/10, 
the worse wedding dress out there, Phoebe's fashion is out there but this does nothing for the model of Ariel!

Marriage:- 0, 
he is the Source of Evil! He makes her his Queen, gets her pregnant with the ultimate evil being, then she kills him only for him to return and stalk her until she turns into a mermaid and says she'll always love him but they can't be together and wants a divorce! Gah

Wedding Day:- 3, 
Prue doesn't ruin this one, because she's dead. But Cole get possessed, ruins the day they fight a demon, she wakes up thinking Paige is the one ruining it and then Phoebe gets married at a cemetery dream day right?

Total.....6/15

more like it Phoebe.

They get married after a six month relationship, but did he kill his first wife dum dum dummmmm. Season Three, Episode Two "It Takes Two".

Wedding Dress:- 8/10, 
not to be ageist, but for a cast that were at the time in their mid 40's she looks lovely and expensive as only Bree can be.

Marriage:- 0, 
they get divorce, get back together the divorce- she has an affair, it got messy.

Wedding Day:- 3, 
during the reception the police arrive and ask Orson to identify a body, is it his dead wife? Shock, Horror!

Total.....11/15

Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino.

Played by Teri Hatcher and James Denton.




We watched this blooming relationship from the start, we felt their heartbreak when Mike left Susan and son MJ (Mason Vale) but we keep hoping until the end. Their first wedding that I'm scoring appeared Season Three, Episode Twenty Two "Getting Married Today".They have a second wedding after learning who Mike's bride is on Season Six, Episode One "Nice is Different Than Good".

Wedding Dress:- 9/10, 
perfect dress for Teri's body and matches the theme her character is going with.

I want to so badly give them a two, but they broke up and divorced for two season, they both moved on for a while. But sadly he dies in the last season.


Wedding Day:- 2, 
it was a surprise wedding.


Total.....12/15

Renee Perry and Ben Faulkner

Played by Vanessa Williams and Charles Mesure.



To be honest I don't remember much about them, as I never really cared for this character. I think they married for money? Season Eight, Episode Twenty Three "Finishing the Hat".

Wedding Dress:- 3/10, 
beautiful dress but what the hell is that on her head? Every point for the dress has gone for that thing.

Marriage:- 1, 
I think they are still together, not sure they never said.

Wedding Day:- 3, 
Julie Mayers water breaks ruining her original wedding dress, which led to this one and Renee is a pretty selfish character, I think they got arrested.

These two were so cute, he was the much older man, which caused problems for the family but we believed in them. Season Three, Episode Three.

her dress is of the time completely, and look at the detail on side showing her personality.

It took two seasons for this to happen and two Christmas Specials. Through their marriage she secured the future of Downton and the families but this was a love match. Their marriage appears before Edith's (poor Edith, didn't even get her own Season) Season Three, Episode One.

Wedding Dress:- 5/10, 
suits her, but nothing very special.

Marriage:- 1, 
It would have been a beautiful and long marriage, but Dan Stevens wanted to go to Hollywood, so he died (his character). How's that move going for you Dan?

money problems ruled the day.

Total.....8/15

The best wedding in Downton Abbey is.....

Rachel Green and Ross Geller.


Played by Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer.




Will they, won't they will the, "We were on a break", won't they, "I got off the plane". During the entire ten season we watched this relationship, which resulted in a baby and a few other drama's! While were all waiting for their real wedding, which I imagine would be uber chic and in a museum, well they got married in, Season Five, Episode Twenty Four, "The One in Vegas Part 2".

Total.....3/15

Emily Waltham and Ross Geller.

After a whirlwind relationship they get married in London. With a wonderful cameo of many British actors, my favorite Jennifer Saunder, but this wedding was all set up to be romantic, but Rachel Green decides she needs to be there and leaves a heavily pregnant Phoebe. Season Four, Episode Twenty Three, "The One with Ross's Wedding Part 1".

Wedding Dress:- 5/10, 
does nothing for her bust, other than looking like it is going to fall out, the cut makes her look like she is hiding something. Looked better on Monica.


Marriage:- 0, 
Divorce.


Wedding Day:- 3, 
full of drama, Ross says "I take thee Rachel", not Emily ek. Rachel reads into it, Emily does a runner and Ross's best friend has sex with his sister.


Total.....8/15

Monica Geller and Chandler Bing.

Played by Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry.



Monica is a bride after my own heart, she can plan my wedding and house any day.  After they hook up in London, we were all shocked that they turn out to be the perfect couple and I appreciate how they showed their struggle to have children, yet it made them stronger. Season Seven, Episode Twenty Three, "The One with Monica and Chandler's Wedding Part 1".

Wedding Dress:- 10/10,

Game of Thrones

Created by David Benioff and D.B Weiss, I don't know how to describe this programme, just watch it! First aired 2011 and still leading up to something big, on Sky Altantic.


Roslin Fey and Edmure Tully.


Played by Alexandra Dowling and Tobias Menzies.




Dubbed "The Red Wedding" a lot went down on this wedding day, due to Walder Fey! But this was an arranged marriage due to Rob Stark doing his own thing and frankly pissing Walder off, so like everything in GoT, nothing is straight forward. . Season Three, Episode Nine, "The Rains of Castamere".

Wedding Dress:- 5/10, 
2 points for turning out to be a pretty bride and all the faces pulled when the veil was lifted and 3 points for the amazing crochet.


Marriage:-1, 
I think they are still alive, somewhere?


Wedding Day:- 3, 
It's an ambush, they all die in horrible ways!


Total.....9/15

Margarey Tyrell and King Joffrey Baratheon.

Played by Natalie Dormer and Jack Gleeson.




Dubbed "The Purple Wedding", well we waited a fair few episode's for this one, King Joffrey being a tyrant and bastard, it is the number one point bad things come from incest. We all know Margarey's family were planning the outcome. Season Four, Episode Two, "The Lion and the Rose".

Wedding Dress:- 8/10, 
It is quite beautiful for the show and people are already replicating it.


Marriage:-0, 
he dies at last! Hurrah.


Wedding Day:- 3, 
he acts like a complete bastard to my favorite character Tyrion and quite frankly deserves to die! 


Total.....11/15

Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lannister.

Played by Sophie Turner and Peter Dinklage.




Who doesn't like to be forced into a marriage right? I actually think Tyrion is a good husband, he protects her and doesn't even enforce sex until she is ready, doesn't even sleep in the same bed. Season Three, Episode Eight, "Second Sons".

Wedding Dress:- 9/10, 
the detail, the fabric, the hair it's just so good, proof to demonstrate good costuming helps to make the character. Did we really expect her to wear a beautiful, perfect wedding dress or something that shows how trapped she feels? Poor Sansa!


Marriage:-1, 
still married, she's on the run and he's fighting to not be killed.


Wedding Day:- 3, 
forced marriage and Tyrion get's beyond wasted.


Total.....13/15

Princess Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo.

Played by Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa.




The first wedding of GoT, which we all felt sorry for poor Daenerys being forced into this marriage to a man she can't communicate with but it is a married I loved, they really loved each other, I was devastated when he died.. Season One, Episode One "Winter is Coming".

Wedding Dress:- 6/10, 
and the winner for most sexualised wedding dress, he basically tears it off her. Copied a lot already.

Marriage:- 1, 
i'm giving them a one, because yes he died but they loved each other so much, I got emotionally involved.

Wedding Day:- 3, 
first episode, so? but basically her brother traded her for Khal's army.

Total.....10/15

The best wedding in Friends is.....
Sansa and Tyrion!

Blair Waldorf and Prince Louis Grimalidi.

So the Queen Bee met a Prince in Paris and became Her Serene Highness, Princess Blair of Monaco (like they'd allow this marriage), did I mention she's was pregnant too, before she lost the child it was a question was it Louis or Chuck's? A love triangle in which she is very much still in love with. Season Five, Episode Thirteen, "G.G".

Wedding Dress:- 7/10, 
It's beautiful but it is not Blair at all, also all future/Royals get married with their shoulders covered, so pretty dress but they should have followed the rules.

Marriage:-0, 
Prince Louis tell Blair during their first dance that they are in a loveless, contracted marriage.

Wedding Dress:- 5/10,

I guess at it was the closer.

Total.....8/15

  1. Interesting, can see where your influences come from. Surprised 'Sex in the City' weddings were missing, Robert and Amy's wedding in 'Everybody Loves Raymond' -who can forget the dance at the reception. Also Howard and Bernadette's wedding in 'The Big Bang Theory', so many to choose from and each unique in their own way.
