As far as movies go, there are a few key elements to an on-screen wedding that occur in just about every one. The father of the bride walks her down the aisle, the officiant begins saying what he or she needs to say, the two parties perform their vows,  and somebody protests and wants the bride for himself. She either runs into his arms, or if the ceremony continues, then they say “I do,” and then they kiss, and then that’s that.

That formula becomes much clearer in Burger Fiction’s compilation video of cinematic wedding ceremonies, which compiles footage from 52 movies into a four-minute clip.

Will Ferrell isn’t sure when the wedding starts in A Night at the Roxbury because he didn’t hear “a buzzer or whistle or something.” There are more missiles, gunfire, and helicopters than we were expecting for a wedding video. There are plenty of desperate men pleading their cases to the women they love. There are more than a few brawls.

No cinematic compilation video is complete with Kermit the Frog and Nicholas Cage, so fortunately this one features both of them. We also totally forgot that a younger-looking Chris Pratt sings a beautiful Japanese wedding song in The Five Year Engagement.
