| 12 | ->''"...[It's] not like the telenovelas I grew up watching. The wedding isn't the end. Our story is just beginning."'' |
| 13 | -->-- '''Jane Villanueva''', ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'' |
| 14 | |
| 15 | For all the drama and mishaps associated with them in fiction, weddings are supposed to be a happy affair. So closing a story with a wedding is common -- it's a fun celebration for the characters who have suffered through the show's twists. And since [[{{Pun}} they do]], it ties up the RomanceArc for the OfficialCouple and promises a new life chapter for the newlyweds, especially if [[BabiesEverAfter children are on the horizon]]. HappilyEverAfter! |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Though WeddingAndEngagementTropes will abound, the wedding will usually go well in the end, as this is likely an indicator of HappilyEverAfter, but not always -- it may be someone other than the leads getting married, or the wedding may end unhappily. Ending a war story with a WartimeWedding after all the fighting is usually a BittersweetEnding. While this trope usually applies to entire standalone works, it can also be used to give closure to seasons (or installments analogous to them). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Supertrope to WeddingsForEveryone and WeddingBellsForSomeoneElse. A Wedding Finale may overlap with WeddingEpisode if the entire final installment or episode is centered around a wedding. May be part of a GrandFinale. Overlaps ''very often'' with SealedWithAKiss. Can also overlap with a DancePartyEnding if they show the characters dancing at the wedding. May overlap with MovingAwayEnding if it either requires moving away from the country or occurs just before the move. |

| 203 | * ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae'' does an interesting dual variation of the trope.

The final boss takes place in a dark; twisted wedding altar, and [[spoiler:Kazuo needs to propose to them according to the customs of the village to pacify them]]. |
