I DREAM OF JEANNIE “The Wedding,” Season 5, Episode 15 (Amazon Video)
At long last, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) and her favorite astronaut/master, Major Anthony Nelson (Larry Hagman), are walking down the aisle. But wait: Genies can’t be photographed, which will surely blow her magical cover. Elope? Nope. Jeannie just blinks up an automaton to pose as her on the big day. The folks at NASA buy it.

The good Doctor (David Tennant) has just said farewell to his beloved Rose (Billie Piper) when bride-to-be Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) appears on his TARDIS time machine spaceship in full shriek mode. Can he return her to the altar? And what’s up with the killer robot Santas?

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT “Fakin’ It,” Season 3, Episode 10 (Hulu, Netflix)
A hilariously icky storyline peaks when young George-Michael Bluth (Michael Cera) and longtime crush Maeby (Alia Shawkat)—awkwardly, also his first cousin—agree to a faux wedding in a hospital ward to cheer up Alzheimer’s patients. She gets cold feet…so he gets a mock bar mitzvah. Oy.

DYNASTY “Royal Wedding,” Season 5, Episode 29 (Amazon Prime Video, CW Seed)
Harry and Meghan have got nothin’ on Prince Michael of the European nation of Moldavia (Michael Praed) and oil heiress Amanda Carrington (Catherine Oxenberg), daughter of power exes Alexis Colby (Joan Collins) and Blake Carrington (John Forsythe). As the lavish vows conclude, terrorists storm the chapel and spray the guests with bullets. Though everyone looks lifeless (albeit glamorous), the A-listers will ultimately survive.

GREY’S ANATOMY “Didn’t We Almost Have It All?” Season 3, Episode 25 (Netflix)
It’s a nice day for a white wedding. Well, unless the couple is Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), two ambitious Seattle Grace surgeons who never did seem quite right for each other. After her meltdown, he calls the whole thing off and moves out. Her weepy reaction: “I’m free.”

June is the month of radiant brides and picture-perfect ceremonies, and after 30 days of hearts and flowers, we’re ready for a change.

So kiss the month goodbye (and say hello to July!) with some TV nuptials that did not go as planned (to put it mildly). As the saying goes, something old, something new, something borrowed — somebody blue.

Click through the gallery above for five disastrous weddings, from Burke and Yang on Grey’s Anatomy to Jeannie and Major Nelson on I Dream of Jeannie.
