** Hiccup and Astrid's relationship in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' can be seen as this. In the beginning, it is established that Hiccup has a crush on her, but Astrid spends the first half of the movie either completely ignoring Hiccup or being extremely rude to him, and right before meeting Toothless, she is about to beat him up. Then they go on a ride on Toothless' back and apparently that was all it took for Astrid to realize she likes him back. Although they are confirmed to be a couple in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', they don't properly confess their love until ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld'', which does spend most of its arc developing their relationship and ends on their marriage.

* Rhonda and Quinn in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell''. Quinn literally showed up for a single storyline, as a threat to Lindesfarne because she was in an arranged marriage with him that she couldn't get out of. So, even though a storyline had passed very recently that revealed that Rhonda and Edgar had completely patched up their relationship problems and Edgar was now a good, attentive boyfriend willing to humiliate himself for Rhonda, for the convenience of the Lindesfarne plot, he suddenly underwent AesopAmnesia and snapped back to nothing ever changing. This gave Rhonda an excuse to dump him and marry Quinn, as the story told us they'd been having an online relationship for years (this was the first time it ever came up). Also, the comic conveniently ignores that for all of Edgar's flaws, Rhonda was basically cheating on him the entire time they dated. The storyline was also used to [[PutOnABus put Rhonda on a bus]] with a massive whimper. While Rhonda made a cameo or two at Lindesfarne's wedding, Quinn the plot device didn't show up until the next Rhonda-centric storyline about whether to take a job at Herd Thinners or Kell's startup company.

** That being said, Quinn was subject to an in-universe example of this trope because of the betrothal to Lindesfarne. While Lindesfarne didn't know that Angelique had set up a betrothal for her until after she was engaged with Fenton, Quinn's parents arranged their--and his--entire lives around Lindesfarne eventually being his wife. For them, it was essentially a racket for Quinn, Lindesfarne, their eventual children--and eventually, even Lindesfarne's stepmother, Kell--to protect them. By the time they finally met, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2007/kk0707.html Quinn was sick to death of it,]] and wanted just as much to break the betrothal as Lindesfarne did. Evenso, he had apprehension at suddenly eloping with Rhonda, who was merely an online affair at the time. But he agreed to it since it would break the betrothal for both of them, and the fact that he and Rhonda hit it off for real merely cemented their marriage, which Rhonda and Lindesfarne initially intended to be quickly annulled.
