Who Did These Sitcom Brides Get Married To?

Based on the world’s recent obsession with the royal wedding, it seems TV audiences will never get over their love of blushing brides walking down the aisle to a life of holy matrimony. Of course, this shouldn’t surprise any veterans of the medium in the slightest, as big destination weddings have meant high ratings for real and fiction people pretty much since television was invented. In many cases, even a wedding that has disastrous results can catch the entire world’s attention, and on TV, almost all of them face one mishap or another.

To long term fans of a given show, both members of the happy couple naturally deserve all the love and congratulations viewers have to offer. For whatever reason, though, it’s almost always been the nature of public weddings that brides get much more attention than their soon-to-be husbands. Even shows that are primarily about men give women the focus come wedding season, ensuring their nuptials begin with a very happy wife.

That said, the grooms obviously still play a pretty major role in the ceremony—the weddings typically wouldn’t even be happening had they not popped a certain question. Anyone looking to prove they know both sides of every major couple should keep reading to try and name the character these sitcom brides married.

Question 1

Who married Monica Gellar on Friends?

While eventually an ensemble show, Monica Gellar was in many respects the main character of Friends for the first few seasons. Throw in her strong, assertive personality, and it makes sense she’d be the first of her female pals to actually marry a man she was willing to stay with permanently. Surprisingly, after a long sea of boyfriends who lasted anywhere from an episode to a season, she realized the perfect guy for her had been part of her crew for quite some time already.

Question 2

Who married Pam Beesly on The Office?

When The Office began, Pam Beesly was stuck in one of the worst relationships the show would ever document—and there were a whole lot of terrible relationships down in Scranton. Luckily, she gradually realized Roy Anderson wasn’t the guy for her, and at the same time, she noticed the guy seated across the room from her at Dunder Mifflin was a much better choice when it came to forming a lasting relationship. Of course, fans of the show knew this from the start, leaving audiences overjoyed when the couple tied the knot at Niagara Falls.

Question 3

Who got married to Bernadette Rostenkowski on The Big Bang Theory?

In order to hang with the guys from The Big Bang Theory, a woman needs to be pretty smart, and that’s definitely the case with Bernadette Rostenkowski. A PhD in microbiology, Bernadette’s intelligence slightly works against her on the dating scene, insofar as she’s constantly busy with work and studying. There’s also the issue that she can be a little bit frightening and domineering, which could scare romantic partners away. Then again, with the right guy, it could also be a positive, and that seems to be the case with her marriage.

Question 4

Who married Carol Martin to form The Brady Bunch?

It started as the story of a lovely lady raising three very lovely girls, but The Brady Bunch wouldn’t have been, well, the Brady Bunch, without her one day meeting this fellow. As the song goes, they immediately knew that it was much more than a hunch, making things official in the very first episode. Naturally, the whole clan got involved in the ceremony, including the dog and cat, who offered the first predictions that these crazy kids would have some difficulty getting along.

Question 5

Who did Leslie Knope marry on Parks and Recreation?

For all her brilliance and forward-thinking politics, Leslie Knope initially has some trouble on the dating scene. In many respects, her earnest over planning can send a wrong message, not to mention make her look, well, insane. Until she finds someone who respects the method to her madness, that is, making him willing to do whatever it takes to one day make her his wife. At first, this is a huge problem for them both, directly threatening their jobs, but like most things Leslie’s passionate about, she finds a way to make it work.

Question 6

Who got married to Carole Hudson on Glee?

When the characters of Glee aren’t singing their hearts out, some of them have rather sad and disappointing lives. Things don’t start out great for Finn Hudson’s mom Carole, who was widowed shortly after her son was born. Her next relationship ended in another tragedy, when her partner left her for someone younger. Things start turning around when she meets another kid’s dad, deciding to stick with him even after tension develops between their children. They probably just figure it’s nothing a few songs can’t fix.

Question 7

Who married Janet and Susan on Eight Is Enough?

When a family includes eight different children of all ages, it can be extremely difficult for the various children to plan their important life events without incident. Parents and other relatives will inevitably need to choose between attending one kid’s basketball game or another’s dance recital, and that’s just the beginning of the never ending scheduling conflict. This is an issue for Susan Bradford when she plans to get married on the same day her brother intended to tie the knot with Janet McArthur. To avoid drama, they simply combine the ceremonies.

Question 8

Who married Liz Lemon on 30 Rock?

Throughout the course of 30 Rock, TGS head writer Liz Lemon has her fair share of boyfriends, yet the vast majority of them quickly reveal some sort of ridiculous quirk that gives her second thoughts. From the very beginning, her boss furthers the belief she’ll be alone forever, mocking her lack of social skills whenever he gets the chance. Proving him wrong, Liz eventually meets a guy who appreciates all of her geekier qualities, even wearing a smile as she married him dressed up as Princess Leia.

Question 9

Which alien got married to Mindy McConnell on their self-titled show?

Almost immediately after Mindy McConnell meets the stranger from Ork who would later become her husband, he reveals to her that he’s an alien from outer space. Rather than cast him off as insane or run with fear, Mindy quickly decides to keep his secret safe and treat the outsider like a good friend. As he gets used to life on Earth and gradually becomes more and more human, Mindy even decides he might be a better guy than anyone she met from her own planet.

Question 10

Who married Cece Parikh on New Girl?

Compared to her quirky and flighty friend Jessica Day, it often seems like fashion model Cece Parikh has everything together. At times, the one area where this wasn’t the case was naturally her love life, leading her to date people who weren’t quite right for her, and even contemplate the idea of entering an arranged marriage. However, deep down inside, Cece always felt like one of Jess’s roommates was weirdly perfect for her despite all their differences, a fact the two inevitably accept through their marriage.

Question 11

Who married Phoebe Buffay on Friends?

Living life in a very spiritual and carefree manner, Phoebe Buffay tends to focus on romance significantly less than any of her friends. That doesn’t mean she completely ignores the subject, of course, and at times even reached out to others for help setting her up on dates. Oddly enough, the fact Joey failed to adequately prepare when tasked with this job actually lead to her meeting the man she would marry through completely random chance. Not even a freezing cold outdoor wedding could damper her spirits from there.

Question 12

Who got married to Liz Danes on Gilmore Girls?

While the main romantic storylines in Gilmore Girls naturally surrounded Rory and Lorelei, it was the wedding of Liz Danes that fans remember best. Given Liz’s unique sense of style and carefree nature, this isn’t all that surprising—how could anyone forget a Renaissance themed wedding in town square? Liz’s nuptials are also integral to Lorelei’s own love life, as it inspires the bride’s brother Luke to start taking the idea of romance more seriously. As for the happy couple, they take things as seriously as a life in Renaissance Fairs can allow.

Question 13

Who did April Ludgate marry on Parks and Recreation?

Eternally disaffected like a true hipster, April Ludgate cares about almost nothing, especially when it comes to other humans. Despite this, her lifestyle somehow leads to a handful of boyfriends, some of whom even have other boyfriends of their own. As she gets older, it’s clear this situation isn’t going to last for her, just as she starts realizing another guy at city hall actually might not be that much of a jerk. He’s also more than willing to go along with every last one of her crazy schemes, leading to a very hasty wedding.

Question 14

Who got married to Helen Chappel on Wings?

This quiz is a testament to just how many weddings have occurred on television, and only a few of them are truly unique. Helen Chappel’s odd nuptials on Wings certainly fits that bill, as it’s the only TV wedding we’re aware of that took place in a bathroom, where the groom’s hand was stuck down a toilet. Of course, the two were used to being stuck in small spaces, having met in a tiny airport where they had both worked for years. Considering they already lost the tuxedos before the toilet incident, the ceremony wasn’t going to be perfect, anyway.

Question 15

Who did Phyllis Lapin marry on The Office?

Audiences might have been paying more attention to Jim and Pam than any other couple on The Office, but that doesn’t mean the side characters weren’t experiencing romances of their own. In fact, saleswoman Phyllis Lapin is the first female of Dunder Mifflin to walk down the aisle. When she does so, it’s revealed Phyllis was paying a whole lot of attention to Pam’s plans, as well, designing much of her ceremony in the same way Pam intended for her aborted wedding to Roy.

Question 16

Who married Thelma Evans on Good Times?

Nothing in life comes easy to the Evans family, who collectively struggled to pay the rent on their tiny project apartment no matter how many of them got part time jobs. For Thelma, it looks like the hardship will finally end when she falls in love with a rising football star who can bring her to a life of luxury. Unfortunately, immediately after the two marry, Thelma’s brother causes an accident that leaves her new husband severely injured and unable to play, putting an end to that upward mobility.

Question 17

Who got married to Topanga Lawrence on Boy Meets World?

As the title would imply, Boy Meets World is primarily about the life of a young man. However, as is often the case, it just so happens that this young man’s entire life revolves around a female, from the day they meet as young children to their time as husband and wife. For the star of the show, the woman to forever change his life was Topanga Lawrence, an extremely intelligent free spirit who he initially thought was a total freak. Even so, she fell in love with him, and soon he reciprocated the feeling.

Question 18

Who married Constance Carmell on Party Down?

Going from one event to the next on a weekly basis, the cast of Party Down probably witnessed more weddings than any other crew on television. That said, only one of them actually became the focus of an episode, when the company’s own Constance Carmell tied the knot with an aging Hollywood producer she only recently met. Naturally, her old friends were a little weary about the arrangement, yet both Constance and her elderly fiancée were steadfast the commitment was being made in good faith.

Question 19

Who got married to Charlotte York on Sex and the City?

In contrast to most of the other women on Sex and the City, the conservative and straight laced Charlotte York is very reserved and old-fashioned when it comes to matters of the heart. Not that this necessarily works out for her, as she actually gets married twice, the relationship with her first husband having been a total train wreck. Ironically, her second marriage was to the divorce lawyer who settled her first. Though he also seemed like the opposite of what Charlotte wanted, he was such a sweet, funny guy that love actually did conquer all.

Question 20

Who married Jessa Johansson on Girls?

In many respects, the very brief marriage of Hannah Horvath’s friend Jessa Johansson is a microcosm of her carefree persona. During their first meeting, Jessa absolutely despises the man who becomes her husband, only to immediately change her mind and accept a marriage proposal after a few short dates. One short argument later and she’s already prepared to divorce him, harshly criticizing his very existence as she angrily leaves their apartment. Clearly, Jessa is a lost and confused person with no idea what she wants in life, but for a few short weeks, she hoped marriage would deliver her answers.

Question 21

Who got married to Fran Fine on The Nanny?

When Fran Fine first met the man that would become her husband, their relationship was strictly professional. As the name of her show implies, Fran was simply hired to serve as his nanny, helping keep the house clean and take care of the three children who would eventually call her their stepmother. It wasn’t long before she started fantasizing about this potential life, however, and much to Fran’s surprise, it turned out he was having those same thoughts, leading to their marriage.

Question 22

Who did Jules Cobb get married to on Cougar Town?

With a name like Cougar Town, it might be expected that Jules Cobb’s second husband would be significantly younger than she is. While that reputation certainly fit a few of her earlier boyfriends on the show, by the time she was ready to settle down again, Jules had entered a relationship with a man who was actually pretty close to her age. He also went through a similar experience with divorce and dating younger people, having just about as much luck with it as Jules did.

Question 23

Who married Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother?

For the most part, How I Met Your Mother is the story of Ted Mosby trying to find love. However, he’s hardly the only guy in New York City looking for romance, and almost all of his friends go through similar journey. Fans now know he and Robin ultimately end up together, but before that could happen, both of them had different relationships with other people, and each even got married. That Robin’s first husband was also one of Ted’s best friends caused some awkwardness at first, though they all eventually got over it.

Question 24

Who married Synclaire James on Living Single?

Despite the implications of the title, Living Single was one of the least “romantic” sitcoms of the 1990s. Sure, Khadijah James and her friends all dated, but they talked about true love and happy togetherness a lot less than the average women on sitcoms. That said, once Synclaire James started spending time with their building’s handyman, it wasn’t long before she started feeling old fashioned butterflies in her stomach. Turns out he felt them, too, and the pair eventually wed in a traditional ceremony.

Question 25

Who married Elliot Reid on Scrubs?

If there’s any one group of people who don’t have time for the traditional dating scene, it’s rookie doctors trying to save lives and become professionals all at once. Elliot Reid knows this struggle, and coming from a family of overachievers makes it that much more difficult for her to make the immediate impact on medicine she desires. Even so, as soon as she starts working for Sacred Heart, another doctor quickly catches her interest. Things don’t work out at first, but after about eight years working together, they finally accept their fate and marry.

Question 26

Who got married to Georgette Franklin on The Mary Tyler Moore Show?

Unfortunately for her, Mary Richards never found the lasting love that was going to help her make it after all. At least a couple of her closest friends get the honor, include the mild-mannered and quite Georgette Franklin. For all her reservedness, Georgette actually takes a very proactive role in making her wedding finally happen, pointing out to her fiancée that they had been engaged for a long time without ever setting a date. To nip that problem in the bud, they decide to get hitched immediately, even though the only priest they can find is dressed in tennis gear.

Question 27

Who got married to Thelma Frye on Amen?

From the very beginning of Amen, it’s abundantly clear that Thelma Frye wants to get married. The idea of holy matrimony is one of the only things she ever talks or thinks about, and it looks like her dreams will finally come true with one of her father’s rival reverends. Much to her surprise, the groom initially passes out in the middle of their first wedding, and the second attempt nearly ends in similar disaster when the minister can’t perform the honors. Luckily, this isn’t that big an issue with two other reverends around.

Question 28

Who got married to Amy MacDougall on Everybody Loves Raymond?

No matter how much it bothers those around him, the title of Everybody Loves Raymond accurately sets the tone for a series almost entirely about one Ray Barone. That said, even Ray is willing to hand over the spotlight on rare and special occasions, like when two of his closest friends are getting married. Well, Amy MacDougall is more like Ray’s wife Debra’s friend, but it’s safe to say he’s pretty close to the man she intended to marry. For that reason, Ray remains the center of attention when giving the first man speech at their wedding.

Question 29

Who accidentally married Maeby Fünke on Arrested Development?

A teenager walks onto a Hollywood lot and impossibly becomes a top ranking executive in a manner of weeks simply by telling everyone she meets, “Marry me!” What could possibly go wrong? Well, believe it or not, this questionable practice doesn’t lead to an actual wedding, yet the real results are arguably much, much more questionable for the parties involved. While performing a series of “mock weddings” for a group of elderly patients, Maeby accidentally gets legitimately married to her own cousin, who very quickly takes the “joke” way too far.

Question 30

Who got married to Daphne Moon on Frasier?

Despite audiences getting to spend a full 11 years with her, many elements of Daphne Moon’s psyche will always remain a mystery. That’s bound to happen when someone believes to possess psychic powers, not to mention the fact she seems to reflect with glee over some of the most traumatic childhood stories a person could imagine. Nonetheless, the in-home caregiver absolutely infatuates her boss’s brother, such to the extent he immediately forgets about his first wife every time he lays eyes on her. Once that first relationship falls apart, he finally tells Daphne how he felt.

Question 31

Who did Angela Martin marry on The Office (twice)?

Uptight, rude, and downright offensive to anyone who doesn’t fit her very high standards, Angela Martin is the last woman in Dunder Mifflin most men would want to marry. Well, in theory anyway, as at least two of her co-workers attempt to become her husband at various points in the show’s run. In fact, they do it at the same time, with one tricking her into marriage as she prepares to wed the other. Both of those efforts fell apart, but Angela nonetheless reunited with her ex a few years down the line and decided to make things official.

Question 32

Who married Whitley Gilbert on A Different World?

Perfectly fitting her reputation as a Southern belle, Whitley Gilbert initially saw attending Hillman College as a way for a debutante to find a husband. While that did ultimately happen, spending a few years at the historically progressive institution made her realize there may be more to life than just settling down. Along the way, she nonetheless experiences a handful of boyfriends, leading to a proposal very shortly after graduation. It initially looks like that relationship fell apart and she moved on to someone new, only to gladly backslide when her first love revealed he still had feelings for her.

Question 33

Who got married to Molly on Ugly Betty?

Not all marriages on this quiz were meant to last. For the most part, they fell apart for the normal reasons, with couples gradually realizing they were less perfect for one another than they initially believed. The case of Molly on Ugly Betty is far, far more tragic. From the beginning of Molly’s final relationship, the fact she was diagnosed with cancer threatened to ruin everything. Indeed, she collapsed on their wedding night, and soon showed the symptoms that her disease was already reaching it’s final stages.

Question 34

Firmly believing her self-declaration that she’s the “cute one” of the titular Girlfriends, Toni Childs naturally assumed it wouldn’t be long before her dream man entered her life and asked her to marry him. That almost happens early on in the show, only for Toni to get dumped in dramatic fashion when the so-called love of her life learns she cheated on him. Despite this, Toni soon rebounds with a guy who on the surface seems to be her polar opposite, yet this does nothing to damper the strong feelings they immediately share.

Question 35

Who gets remarried to Shirley Edwards on Community?

Technically speaking, Shirley Edwards is probably the only woman on this quiz who had already been married to her husband when the show she was on began. Unfortunately, Shirley’s husband had been cheating on her with a stripper for some time, leading to a divorce that lasted several years. After lots of soul searching, though, Shirley’s ex decides he wants her back, and having never fully gotten over him, she’s more than willing to try and make it work again, starting with a wedding in the study room.

Question 36

Who married Rebecca Donaldson on Full House?

Danny Tanner and his best friends do a great job raising his kids after he suddenly becomes a widow, but the guys and their girls could still benefit from a woman’s touch now and again. Enter Rebecca Donaldson, who initially starts out as Danny’s co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco, and later becomes a more consistent presence in his family’s life after marrying his brother-in-law. Of course, happy as Rebecca is to help, she’s really more interested in starting a family of her own with the man she marries, which they eventually do, making for an even fuller house.

Question 37

Who married Carla Espinosa on Scrubs?

Life at Sacred Heart can often be incredibly hectic, and only through the concerted efforts of nurse Carla Espinosa does any work truly get done. Of course, this hardly precludes her from the many office romances that seem to flow through the hospital. Unfortunately for Carla, there’s always a nagging chance that the man she’s interested in will always have a stronger connection with JD than with her, or either of the two children they produce. Even so, that brand of “Guy Love” didn’t end in a wedding, but the feelings he had for Carla did.

Question 38

Who got married to Luanne Platter on King of the Hill?

Eternally gullible and forgiving, Luanne Platter is the sort of person who believes absolutely everything she sees and hears completely on their face value. This is probably how she falls for a clearly shady vagabond who never works or shows any interest in actually supporting his family. Not that he necessarily has to, as a big settlement from a lawsuit gave him at least enough to make Luanne happy. Though Luanne’s family never quite thought he was good enough for her, they still let the couple marry in their backyard.

Question 39

Who married Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days?

Looking at TV as a metaphor for real life, two people getting married could be considered both of them starring in a spin-off with friendly new co-stars. Okay, so maybe the comparison has some flaws, but it was definitely the case with Joanie Cunningham and the man she married on Happy Days. The two hitched in the series finale, and by next season, a new show debuted all about how deeply in love they were. That was a little surprising giving the beginning of Happy Days, when little Joanie was a just a scheming shortcake bothering her brother.

Question 40

Who married Erin Fitzpatrick on Titus?

Appropriate to the violent chaos that often took place on Titus, the wedding of Erin Fitzpatrick is the only one on this quiz to get canceled due to a serious crime getting committed in the same building. Believe it or not, the happy couple actually realized this was very much a possibility, which is why they initially chose not to invite any of their genuinely insane family members to the ceremony. Unfortunately, word got out, the groom’s mother came to the church carrying a weapon, and, well, things got pretty out of hand from there.

Question 41

Who gets married to Marnie Michaels on Girls?

In her own mind, Marnie Michaels probably has the most put together life out of her group of friends. Despite this, she has just as much relationship drama as the others, which continues well after she gets married to a band mate and musical partner. Even as the marriage quickly ends in divorce, the fact they still make music together means they can’t exactly leave one another’s lives just yet. Marnie’s desire to fix everything means she also plays a big role in her once-husband’s attempt to stop using drugs.

Question 42

Who got married to Rhoda Morgenstern on her self-titled series?

Once they meet the right guy, most women on this quiz were willing to do whatever it took to marry him and have the wedding they always wanted. That said, few went to the extreme lengths of Rhoda Morgenstern, who famously ran down the streets of New York City and took the subway across town while wearing her wedding dress after a friend forget to give her a ride. At the time, Rhoda’s wedding was one of the most watched events in television history, starting the trend that televised nuptials almost always equal high ratings.

Question 43

Who almost gets married to Sue Ellen Mischke on Seinfeld?

Although she only appears in a handful of episodes, Sue Ellen Mischke is one of the more memorable female characters on Seinfeld. It would be almost impossible to forget her wedding, at least, considering the episode it took place in famously unfolded in reverse. This means audiences saw why the wedding got called off at the last minute before Jerry and his friends even got to India, the country where it all took place. Turns out Elaine had a previous relationship with the groom, causing her rival Sue Ellen to immediately break up with him.

Question 44

Who married Dharma Finkelstein to kick off their self-titled series?

While most sitcom couples spend years in the “will they or won’t they stage,” followed by a solid season’s worth of episodes about planning, Dharma Finkelstein is far too impulsive for this sort of behavior. Instead, she decides to marry a professional minded attorney on their very first date, despite the fact they’re total opposites in every way. Surprisingly, this decision pretty much worked out for them, and they would prove it was more than just a fluke with a “do-over” wedding a little bit later, this time with the families present.

Question 45

Who did Kelly Kapowski get married to on Saved By The Bell: The College Years?

Given their young ages, few fans expected the kids saying good morning to Ms. Bliss would wind up getting married. Surprisingly, after several seasons of getting Saved by the Bell, the kids had all become young adults, and one of the couples were ready to make things official. Despite initial resistance from their parents, Kelly Kapowski and her fiancée decided to get hitched almost immediately after school was over, hitting up a small chapel in Las Vegas. At the last minute, the groom’s parents decided that wasn’t fair, swooping in and paying for the ceremony they deserved.

Question 46

Who did Grace Adler marry on Will & Grace (twice)?

In contrast to most sitcoms named after the male and female leads, there was never any chance of Will Truman and Grace Adler becoming a couple in any way on their sitcom. That said, as best friends, the two were often integral in one another’s relationships, often to the point one would require tacit approval from the other before making things serious with a new boyfriend. Though Will approves of the man Grace marries, the couple divorce after he cheats on her. Surprisingly, they decide to forgive and forget just a few years later, getting married for a second time.

Question 47

Who is the first person to marry Nancy Botwin on Weeds?

Just about everything Nancy Botwin does throughout the course of Weeds leads to disastrous results. Somehow, that goes double whenever she makes a decision that seemed rational at the time, like starting a relationship with a normal man while slowly getting over the death of her husband. The only problem is that she’s a drug dealer, and he happens to work for the DEA. Surprisingly, not only is he basically cool with her operation, he also helps out a little, a move that quickly leads to his demise in dramatic fashion.

Question 48

Who married Lily Aldrin on How I Met Your Mother?

In the universe of How I Met Your Mother, it’s extremely common for a character to date hundreds of different, random people without ever actually settling down with any of them. Not so for Ted Mosby’s close friend Lily Aldrin, who married her first boyfriend, a man she in turn met on their first day in college. In part for this reason, Lily believes herself an expert on all relationships, and occasionally tries to break up other relationships when she thinks the couples aren’t as perfect for one another as she and her husband are for one another.

Question 49

Who did Sophia Petrillo marry on The Golden Girls?

Proving that romance can exist at all ages, each one of The Golden Girls had extremely vibrant love lives well into their stint as senior citizens. Even the matriarch Sophia Petrillo, who was in her 80s when the series began, managed to have quite a few boyfriends and at one point even marry. Once her deceased first husband’s former business partner reveals she had always misunderstood why the business fell apart, Sophia feels sympathy for him and the two are soon wed. It doesn’t quite work out, but they decide not to divorce for religious reasons.

Question 50

Who married Juliet O’Hara in Psych: The Movie?

To any fans still shipping a relationship that never quite got resolved before their favorite sitcoms ended, there’s still hope. Juliet O’Hara never married the man she spent most of Psych either dating or otherwise interested in while the show was still in production, but he did proposal in the series finale. A few years later, a one off movie revived the series, and the wedding fans had long been waiting for finally took place. Well, after they solved a few crimes and solved the mystery of the stolen engagement ring, anyway.
