Top 10 Best Cece & Schmidt Moments on New Girl
Before Cece and Schmidt ended up together, she nearly married Shivrang. The arranged marriage between the engineer and then-model seemed like it was a good match, but as their wedding day unfolds, some comedic moments prove otherwise. For example, as Cece walks down the aisle, Wintson pulls a prank by playing "Cotton-Eyed Joe". The juxtaposition between the wedding, the silly song, and everyone's reaction is hilarious.

Monica & Chandler VS Ross & Rachel: Who is the Ultimate Friends Couple?
From friends to spouses, Monica and Chandler were a surprising yet perfectly matched couple. When they got hitched, many were eager to see what the big day had in store for them. We were definitely worried about Chandler’s cold feet, but “Friends” can infuse even the most stressful situations with funny one-liners. As if that wasn’t enough, Phoebe also discovers a positive pregnancy test. It's eventually revealed to be Rachel’s, but not before a pretty important misunderstanding. And watching Joey bumble – then ultimately nail – his way through his officiant duties also provides some belly buster moments. Years later, Phoebe would have a memorable wedding to Mike, though it definitely didn’t quite match the chaos of Monica and Chandler’s nuptials.

Becky and Jesse's Valentine's Day wedding was supposed to be all about romance, but turned out to be a comedy of errors. When Jesse takes off to get “one last adventure” in before his "I Dos," he winds up in a few wacky situations. In true “Full House” fashion, he first winds up trapped in a tree after a skydiving fail. The jokes keep rolling after he’s freed, as the runaway groom gets arrested and late for his own nuptials. Eventually, it's up to Becky to bail him out, and they have their ceremony. Relocating the reception to the Tanner house, the couple conclude their hectic day with dancing and a send-off, proving that Jesse had nothing to worry about.
#4: Topanga & Cory “Boy Meets World” (1993-2000)
Top 10 Memorable Cory & Topanga Moments
Together for ages, "Boy Meets World's" Cory and Topanga were always end game. So, when it came time for their wedding, the pressure was on to make it extra special. When a distressed Shawn worries about losing Cory as his best friend and acts out, it becomes a massive fight between the two pals. But of course, the episode needs some classic sitcom levity, and we get plenty of that. When Cory’s brother Eric comes up with a shady lie to secure a luxurious venue for the couple, it leads to some uproarious hijinks. His scheme is exposed and forces the wedding guests to flee, making for a hysterical ending to the special episode.

One of the sweetest couples to ever grace television screens, "Parks and Recreation’s" Leslie and Ben's big day was imperfectly perfect. After deciding to impulsively have their wedding, they have a couple of hours to pull off the last-minute event. Their efforts are foiled when Jeremy Jamm, Leslie's mortal enemy, shows up. Although he's annoying, his surprise appearance adds a good amount of comedy to the otherwise romantic affair. In addition, Leslie’s confession that her original vows were 70 pages long is one of the episode’s funniest moments, making this occasion equal parts sweet and humorous.

Top 10 Times The Office Cast Couldn't Keep a Straight Face
As soon as they met Jim and Pam, fans began dreaming of the day they’d end up together.
