As long as there are two characters in the show that fall for each other and are able to make it work, it’s more or less guaranteed that sooner or later, the audience will get the chance to watch the characters walk down the aisle. While there have been many TV shows weddings over the years, some iconic weddings in TV shows stand out among the rest.

5 The Red Wedding – Game Of Thrones

The Red Wedding in Game of Thrones made sure once and for all that people wouldn’t be using the song "The Rains of Castamere" at their wedding, simply because of what it symbolizes. The Red Wedding remains one of the most brutal scenes in the show's history. After breaking the promise Robb Stark made to Walder Frey, the Stark family attends the wedding of Robb’s uncle to Walder Frey’s daughter.

Instead of a happy ceremony, Walder Frey has the Starks slaughtered, not just Robb, but also his wife, his mother Catelyn, and his unborn child. The soundtrack heightens the scene’s atmosphere even more. Overall, The Red Wedding is an unforgettable moment for everyone who watches it. The good news is that Arya avenges her family later on.

4 Lily & Marshall – How I Met Your Mother

The sitcom How I Met Your Mother includes more than one wedding. Perhaps the most notable ceremony is Barney’s wedding to Robin, during which Ted meets the mother, Tracy. But of course, Marshall’s and Lily’s wedding is just as memorable. The second mentioned has more charm to it as it comes across pleasantly quaint, not as lavish as Barney’s and Robin’s wedding. After freaking out before the ceremony, which results in Marshall accidentally shaving off part of his hair, Marshall and Lily decide to get married outside with just their closest friends before the actual ceremony.

As such, they get their dream wedding, and it makes for one of the most touching scenes in the show. Once they’re married the way they wanted to be, the couple calms down and is able to go through the official ceremony with ease, despite the hiccups along the way. Another reason why Marshall’s and Lily’s wedding deserves the prime spot is that unlike Robin’s and Barney’s, they had no doubt that they wanted to get married, and their marriage didn’t end in divorce.

3 Jim & Pam – The Office

Though the show offered multiple couples, one of the fan-favorite that the viewers rooted for was Jim and Pam. Pam was initially engaged to her coworker Roy, but Jim was already in love with her and the two got together in the end, making for a memorable storyline. Their wedding was just as special as the proposal during a rainy day.

Just like Marshall’s and Lily’s wedding, this one also didn’t go smoothly at first. Both couples struggled with their families arranging their wedding against their wishes. Jim and Pam solved it by running away and getting married on a ferry boat before going through with the official ceremony. This scene also proved that Jim knew Pam very well, as he already hired the boat before they actually eloped together. By doing this, he showed that he knew Pam would want to escape the wedding commotion and have a smaller, more intimate ceremony.

2 Howard & Bernadette – The Big Bang Theory

But when Bernadette entered the picture, things changed for the better for Howard. The two stayed together, and it was only a matter of time before they would get married. In the end, the wedding happened in an unexpected way. Howard was due to go to space, and Bernadette decided she would marry him before he left.

Their friends threw them a last-minute wedding that, despite the rushed organization, worked out well. Howard and Bernadette married on the roof of Leonard’s, Sheldon’s and Penny’s building and the ceremony was performed by their closest friends who got ordained specifically for this occasion. Just like some of the most iconic TV show wedding, Bernadette’s and Howard’s wedding shows that sometimes the best weddings are those that happen in a small circle of people.

1 Monica & Chandler – Friends

Friends is one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time, so it makes sense the wedding between Monica and Chandler would make it among the most notable weddings in TV shows. Once again, things didn’t go without difficulties. This time, the biggest problem was that Chandler got cold feet and almost ran away from his own wedding! Luckily, he came to his senses before the damage could be done, and the couple went through with the ceremony.

Unlike smaller, improvised weddings, this one was done in a beautiful classic setting. Both the costumes and the place where the wedding took place added to the event’s charm. Not to mention, Monica’s and Chandler’s wedding was exactly what the couple’s fans were waiting for right from the moment the two got together.
