What are some of the best and most beautiful weddings you've seen in a show?

The wedding scene at the end of the Cinderella revival was pretty beautiful.

I love the wedding scene in Fiddler On The Roof. The dancing, the significance of Hodel dancing with Perchik,  of COURSE the bottle dance- just everything about that scene is perfectly done. 

I also love the wedding between Dawn and Ogie in Waitress because it includes some of my favorite dialogue (Becky and Jenna, Jenna and Cal, and of course, "Take It From An Old Man"-Larry Marshall makes me cry every time).

Visually I would say the wedding scene in Aida was stunning. Everything was practically blinding white with the white confetti falling - and who can forget that wedding veil?!?

I initially read the title question as asking which shows had the largest number of beautiful weddings in them, and was struggling to think of any show with even more than 1 wedding in it.  After reading the replies, I now feel silly.  :)

María and the Captain’s wedding in the original 1959 Broadway production of R&H’s THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

The most beautiful it’s probably not, but I’m partial to the transition to the finale wedding in “The Wedding Singer,” which is heralded by the first use of stereotypical New Jersey rock band sounds, and then the truly infectious medley of “If I Told You” and “It’s Your Wedding Day.”

And I was also going to say “Beauty and the Beast,” but that’s one of the few Princess shows that ends with an implied marriage rather than a staged wedding (despite being one of the only ones where the bride is of legal age).

Thanks for posting these pics.  I thought the wedding scene in the 1997-8 revival was also very nice.  I wondered how it compared to the wedding scene in the original production and if it tried to imply the grandeur of the wedding scene in the movie. 

On a side note, when I was in Austria I visited the church where Marie and Capt. Van Trapp were actually married. It's a simple country church and no way as grand as what appears on stage or film.  In fact, the locals disdain the movie for taking liberties with reality.

Not a wedding scene, but I do enjoy the engagement/ballroom crossover scene in Wicked.

In the 2002 revival of 'Flower Drum Song', the show ends with a wedding where every Asian or Asian-American character says where they are from.  In actuality, it was where each cast member was from, and the locations were worldwide.  A very effective, non-preachy way of saying that Asians are a part of every community everywhere.  Very moving and powerful.
