Poll of the Week: Favorite Wedding?

[Randal Shayne]

Weddings. Whether you’re throwing rice at the bride and groom or beating them over the head with Ma’Stakas, they are generally happy occasions, and symbolize a sacred union between two people. From the first (aborted) marriage of Robert Tomlinson and Angela Martine aboard the Enterprise NCC 1701, to the long-awaited conjugation of Deanna Troi and William Riker, Star Trek has a long tradition of showing such ceremonies on the screen. Each has taken a different tone, different visual style and, of course, different participants. This poll asks you which of the many marriage ceremonies shown on screen was your favorite. Did you enjoy the Japanese-styled ceremony of Miles O’Brien and Keiko Ishikawa? Or were the somber, aggressive overtones of Worf and Jadzia Dax’s wedding more to your taste? Perhaps the less than romantic civil union imposed upon Quark by the widow Grilka struck the right tone. Give us your vote and explain your choice in the comments section below.

Since interrupted weddings were included in the list, I'd like to add the aborted one of Lwaxana Troi and Campio. I don't know what was funnier, Lwaxana showing up for the ceremony in traditional Betazed garb, or Worf in the mud bath!

I'd forgotten about that one! Well remembered!

Definitely Quasrk and Grilka, like there is any other choice.
