Your favorite televised couples have been through it all. A handful of these story lines have led to marriage – and by marriage, I mean the writers decided that these characters should take the plunge and have faithful viewers watch them in all their matrimony-obsessed glory. You’ve laughed, you’ve cried, you’ve been with the characters from the beginning through that faithful day of “I do.” In honor of these beloved nuptials, here are 10 of the best, most heart-warming or most memorable weddings videos from the stars you love.
1. The Office: Jim and a pregnant Pam were to be married at Niagara Falls in front of family and friends, but they were wise to Michael and the Dunder Mifflin crew’s plan to recreate a viral YouTube video at the wedding. They snuck out, got married on the Maid of the Mist, and came back to exactly what they had expected – the YouTube recreation to Forever by Chris Brown.

2. Grey’s Anatomy: Izzie and Alex did not have time on their side – Izzie’s brain tumor sped up the wedding process so much so that Meredith gave up her wedding day so the couple could tie the knot. This created another wedding twist, as Meredith ended up marrying her fiancé Derek with a Post-It.
3. Beverly Hills 90210: David and Donna had some of the most touching vows at their wedding. “I can’t remember a time I wasn’t in love with you,” David said. Tear.
4. Parks and Recreation: Andy and April turned a party with their closest friends into a wedding. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was how little thought they actually put into the event. Andy actually invited all the guys – out of nowhere – to be his groomsmen. But Andy and April are in love. Videos can be found on Netflix.
5. Friends: Ross and Emily have always topped the Friends chart for most memorable wedding. Despite Phoebe walking down a snow-flooded aisle, it was the moment Ross said, “I, Ross, take you, Rachel,” to current sweetie Emily that was truly unforgettable.
6. Sweet Home Alabama: Mel was set to marry political stud Andrew, but after returning home to clear up her current marriage situation with former love Jake, she realized he was still the one and left Andrew at the altar to run to Jake – in the rain, of course – and kiss her childhood love.
7. Runaway Bride: Maggie and Bob were to be married after multiple failed attempts for Maggie to walk down the aisle with her previous fiancés, but the force behind her notoriety for running away continued. Ike, a journalist who was originally writing a story about her, fell for Maggie and finally married her off.
8. The Wedding Singer: Wedding singer Robbie serenaded Julia on an airplane while she was with her then-fiancé Glen on the way to get married in Las Vegas. Their love grew while she was planning her wedding with another guy – ironic?
9. Bride Wars: Emma and Liv are the best of friends until they plan their weddings for the same day, which leads to the ultimate battle of sabotage. On their shared wedding day on opposite sides of The Plaza, the two ended up in a fight as Emma tackled Liv as she walked down the aisle.
10. The Princess Bride: Prince Humperdinck wanted to speed the ceremony up so quickly that Buttercup never actually said “I do,” and therefore the wedding didn’t count. And we could not be more grateful – save her, Westley!
