The 16 most HBO weddings in HBO history
Here's a toast to the many times the network has turned the happiest day in one's life into depressing, traumatic, bloody, unromantic, and always compelling TV

HBO is known for a lot of things: great programming, relative creative freedom, nudity that arguably veers toward gratuitous. But a lesser-discussed facet of the network’s TV output is that its creators seem to love having weddings that are anywhere from totally depressing to completely disastrous. There are obvious narrative reasons to include a wedding (or two or three) in a TV show. The event is generally a pivotal moment in someone’s life, on par with a birth or a death. (We could do whole lists on HBO’s treatment of those events, too.) It’s also inherently dramatic, which is catnip for writers. So, since it’s officially wedding season, The A.V. Club has put together our favorite, let’s say, unideal nuptials from the network.

I keep forgetting Girls existed.
Lucky.
Once High Maintenance and Insecure hit, I completely put it out of my mind.
So weird to make that this site is including Max shows with all these HBO lists when they’ve explicitly changed their name to avoid conflation with HBO branding.

Search Party is not an HBO show. It’s a Max show. And it got two entries even with the vast amount of other HBO shows. F-
