Weddings where the short length was actually explained in-universe

On Friends, when Phoebe and Mike get married, it's snowing outside and Joey, who is the officiant, mentions how cold it is and how the ceremony needs to be quick.

Most of the time on sitcoms when two characters get married, it's a really short wedding ceremony, shorter than any real life wedding I've been to.

Other than the example I gave, are there any other sitcom weddings where they actually give a reason for the ceremony being so short?

The only other example I can think of was Holt and Kevin getting married really quickly on Brooklyn Nine-Nine because Holt said he wasn't sure how long gay marriage would be legal.
