* DenserAndWackier: The show was already going down this path after Diane left, but this is the episode that cemented it. It contains easily the most over-the-top gags in the entire show. The 2nd half especially is an extremely fast-paced, rapid-fire slapstick comedy that gives ''Film/{{Clue}}'' a run for it’s money.

"An Old Fashioned Wedding" is the final episode of the tenth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.

The day has finally come for Woody and Kelly Gaines to get married, at long last. Woody comes in with news that he and Kelly couldn't exactly wait for the night. Carla believes the wedding will be a disaster, but she's ignored.

At the Gaines household, things don't get off to the greatest start. Rebecca antagonises the tetchy caterers, the happy couple can't keep their hands (and assorted other parts) off each other, Mr. Gaines makes it clear he'll kill Woody if he thinks he's touched Kelly ahead of schedule, Sam flirts with an attractive woman who's married to a violently protective man, and to top it all off the minister suddenly drops dead.

!!Tropes:
* BlindingCameraFlash: Adding to the day's irritation, Cliff's brought along a camera with an amazingly bright flash.
* CallBack: Rebecca isn't over her failed marriage to Robin Colcord, repeatedly and bitterly bringing it up over the episode.
* TheCassandra: Carla predicts doom and disaster will strike at the wedding, but no-one believes her. She's right.
* ChekhovsGunman: Kelly mentions early on her uncle's a trained minister, but it'd be a bad idea to ask him given he's gone through a rough patch with his marriage.
* ContinuityNod: Cliff, talking to Kelly's uncle Robert mentions his near-marriage to Maggie.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Rebecca didn't expect the caters to leave when she told them to. After all, nobody ever listens to her, how was she supposed to expect someone would at the worst possible time.
* DontTouchTheHair: Sam insists on wearing a shower cap when he goes into the Cheers basement. There's spiders down there.
* DudeNotFunny: Lilith scolds Frasier for quoting a Noel Coward bon-mot about a man committing suicide, not seeing any humour in the quip.
* FrenchJerk: The chef in charge of catering for the wedding, though given Rebecca's being particularly stupid toward them.
* FromBadToWorse: The Extra-Length Episode!
* GodzillaThreshold: Lilith figures out something's wrong because Sam asks her to entertain the guests.
* HiddenDepths: Cliff knows how to sew. Esther Clavin insisted on it.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Apparently Esther instilled in Cliff a fear of gangrene when he was a kid, to the extent just jabbing himself with a needle sends him into a breakdown.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Mr. Gaines' trained attack dogs, Attila and Hitler, spend the episode attacking anyone who dares step outside the kitchen, until the end, when something sends them running and whimpering. It's a beyond pissed off Carla.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Apparently the minute Mr. Gaines caught sight of the Boyd brood, he had the bar opened early.
* InsatiableNewlyweds: Which is a little problem given they aren't actually married yet.
* TheLoad: Rebecca gets the ball rolling on the wedding day disaster by idiotically antagonizing the catering staff, despite repeated warnings, eventually driving them to quit by thoughtlessly eating the little groom figurine. She's not much help afterward.
* MistakenForGay: How Sam ultimately wards off death by jealous husband, he and Frasier convince the man Sam is gay. Sam fails to understand why the guy is laughing and yelling "poofter".
-->'''Sam:''' What does he mean?\\
'''Frasier:''' Well, it means you'll never have to worry about the German draft board.
* NoodleIncident:
** Yet another weird Hanover tale when Woody mentions an uncle of his checking into a hotel with a milking machine.
** Carla agrees with Rebecca that a dead body at a wedding is a bad idea, citing two incidents where it happened with her family. Likewise, while stashing the body, she just mutters "if I had a nickel..."
* OverprotectiveDad: Mr. Gaines has never liked Woody, but has always at least respected that he's been a gentleman towards Kelly, but if he thought that wasn't true, he'd kill him.
-->'''Mr. Gaines:''' Now Woody, this may sound like a meddling father, but it's not. It's a threat.
* SayingTooMuch: Defending Sam's shower cap, Cliff starts talking about spiders.
* SuddenlyShouting: Frasier, trying to appeal to Roger, tells him they're both in the business of helping people, then breaks out with "don't make me ''hit you!''"
* TemptingFate: After nearly getting savaged by the attack dogs, Woody murmurs that he's safe. Then Mr. Gaines re-enters the room, forcing Sam to shove Woody back outside.
* TranslationByVolume: Rebecca's idea of speaking German is just yelling slowly and loudly about how she ''wanted'' to learn German in high-school.
