I KNOW, RIGHT? One, it completely changes the dynamic of that relationship and thus the entire plotline, and two, who the hell looks at A Game of Thrones and says to themselves, "You know what this story needs? MORE RAPE!" Not every show needs to be twice as edgy as its source material, HBO. You can still make your exposed-breasts-and-swearing quota without screwing up major points of character development.
Hm. The only fictional wedding I can even think of right now is the one from The Princess Bride, which is... memorable, but not for deep character-based reasons. Most of my favorite ships don't get married, even the ones that are canon and clearly deserve to be together forever. My fandoms don't really do happily-ever-afters.
The William/Kate wedding craze is going strong in the US, too, and god is it annoying. Why does the media think I should care about this? I have no emotional connection to anyone involved, stop trying to tell me about the awesome new diet Kate is trying!
Here There Be GoT Spoilers!
