Weddings and engagements in cartoons

Though it was a movie, Pebbles Flintstone gets engaged to and marries Bamm-Bamm Rubble in I Yabba-Dabba Do! and gives birth to twins in the sequel, Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby.
 
In Ren & Stimpy (there were probably more than these), Stimpy marry's a frozen grocery store chicken in an episode called "I Love Chicken", a sock puppet Ren uses is married to a baboon, and a disembodied head get's married to a noticeably large woman.

In Rocko's Modern Life, Ed Bighead marries a "Magic Meatball" in a desperate attempt to get it to tell him how to vote on form regarding parking validation. In another episode, Rocko marries "Ophelia" (Filbert in drag) in an attempt to keep him from being deported.
 
Speaking of Hey Arnold! Let's not forget the episode where Arnold and Helga dreamed they married each other. It was one of the best episodes in the series.
 
So: a lot of quickie, one-off weddings, a couple of shams, and a several re-dos in already-established marriages. Not much in the way of long-term relationships ending in a wedding or engagement.

Of course, it's not exactly unexpected, given that few series follow a stable continuity, fewer still portray stable adult relationships, and even fewer last long enough to portray the evolution of one.


Actually, didn't we see a wedding of sorts in "Vows" when they split the Phoenix Gate?

Speaking of Gargoyles, has Greg ever said when exactly he'd have Elisa and Goliath marry/make commitment ceremony/whatever? Or is that something that was never intended to be shown?
 
Terry's friend in Batman Beyond saw his parents married.

We see the wedding of The Golden Age Version of The Destroyer on Spider-Man The Animated Series.



True, but that's what we humans call it. Their term is mating and I guess they do it usually without objects.



I believe so, as well as Boradway and Angela, as well as Talon and Maggie.
