#20 Nancy Botwin and Peter Scottson, Weeds
How do you protect yourself when you’re a drug dealer dating a DEA agent? In Nancy’s case, she flew to Vegas for a quickie wedding to protect herself against him.

#19 Kate Austen and Kevin Callis, Lost
When Kate was a fugitive she married a cop. Not exactly the best move.

#18 Paul and Jamie Buchman, Mad About You
When Paul and Jamie learned that the man who officiated their wedding wasn’t licensed, it turned out their entire marriage was a sham, forcing them to rush to a justice of the peace to make sure they kept their same anniversary.

#17 Robert Allen and Lindsey, Lone Star
In the two episodes that were aired of this show, we saw Robert Allen living a double life, and when the heat was on, he added fuel to the fire by marrying his girlfriend, even though he already had a wife.

#16 Christine Campbell and Barb Baran, The New Adventures of Old Christine
To make sure Barb didn’t get deported, Christine took advantage of California’s brief time legalizing gay marriage to concoct a fake lesbian green card marriage.

#15 Two Male Penguins, Parks and Recreation
Leslie Knope tried to promote the Pawnee Zoo by having a fake marriage of two new penguins, but things got controversial when it turned out they were both male.

#14 Ben Boykewich and Amy Juergens, The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Despite the fact that they were 16, only dated for a few weeks and she was carrying another man’s baby, Ben and Amy wanted to get married, so they got fake IDs to get the marriage license. It would be funny if they didn’t think it was a flawless plan.

#13 Angela Montenegro and Grayson Barasa, Bones
When Angela tried to marry Hodgins the ceremony was stopped because she was already married, much to her surprise, thanks to an alcohol-induced trip to the south Pacific.

#12 Stephen Colbert and His Hand, The Colbert Report
After Christine O’Donnell claimed that masturbation was the same as adultery, Colbert did the only logical thing: he married his own hand.

#11 Phoebe Buffay and Duncan, Friends
To keep her figure skater friend Duncan in the country, Phoebe agreed to marry him, though even she was surprised to learn later that he was actually straight.

#10 Alma Garret and Whitney Ellsworth, Deadwood
When Sheriff Bullock impregnated Alma during their affair, Ellsworth stepped in to offer to marry her to make sure Bullock’s wife, didn’t find out who the father was.

#9 Dee and Frank Reynolds, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Dee’s real father wanted to teach her a lesson about what a terrible person she is, so he concocted a plan to get her to marry Frank, who she always thought was her dad.

#8 Mal Reynolds and Saffron, Firefly
Mal may be clever in a pinch, but that didn’t stop him from getting tricked into marrying this con artist played by Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks.

#7 Bill Henrickson and Nicki Grant/Margene Heffman, Big Love
Bill’s marriage to Barb may be legitimate, but taking on two extra wives is certainly not legal, making them fake marriages as far as the law is concerned.

#6 Alan Shore and Denny Crane, Boston Legal
Alan and Denny were always soul mates, so the only logical way to end the series was for these two heterosexual men to get married so Alan would be able to make medical decisions for Denny as his Alzheimer’s worsened.

#5 Sue Sylvester and Herself, Glee
There’s only one person man enough to marry Sue Sylvester: herself. So that’s exactly who she married.

#4 GOB Bluth and Wife of GOB, Arrested Development
GOB’s marriage to this woman whose name he never learned was the result of a series of escalating dares, but it provided plenty of comedy, especially since she was played by Will Arnett’s real-life wife, Amy Poehler.

#3 Ned Dorsey and Stacey Colbert, Ned and Stacey
If you missed this ‘90s FOX sitcom, the premise was that Ned needed a wife to get a promotion at work and Stacey needed a place to live, so they entered a marriage of convenience. It was actually a lot better than it sounds, especially since they were played by Thomas Haden Church and Debra Messing.

#2 Teddy Altman and Henry Burton, Grey’s Anatomy
In a storyline eerily reminiscent of Izzie and Denny, Teddy becomes overly invested in a dying patient, so she marries him so he can get her health insurance.

#1 Jack McFarland and Rosario Salazar, Will and Grace
The ultimate TV green card marriage, the very gay Jack married his BFF Karen’s housekeeper, resulting in wackiness, especially when the government agent investigating them was one of Jack’s former hook-ups.
