Gossip Girl may be over, but it still reigns as one of the most dramatic shows on television. While the relationships between the characters were often pretty messy, one thing is certain — they knew how to throw a swanky party. With wedding season on the brain, we thought we'd take a stroll through Gossip Girl's past and recount all the weddings on the series (whether the marriages lasted is another story). Revisit each ceremony and see what all the guests are wearing, who their dates are, and how beautiful each bride is.
Wedding guest Blair and maid of honor Serena have a laugh before Lily marries Bart in the first season finale of the show.
Nate and Chuck wait for the wedding to begin, and though they'd been feuding over Blair, they make up by the end of the episode.
Lily gets a case of cold feet over the fact that she sleeps with Rufus the night before her wedding. The only problem is that Rufus isn't the groom this time around.

Serena and Dan are at odds at this point, because he'd recently started seeing Georgina. S is quick to forgive him because Georgina had been playing Dan and pretending to be someone else while blackmailing her about a past incident.
Serena walks down the aisle ahead of Lily in an elaborately ruffled dress.
Bart Bass looks as intense as ever, probably because he's not completely blind to Lily's attachment to Rufus.

The revelation that Lily has a son with Rufus whom she gave up for adoption, Scott, nearly derails their wedding.
Carter (guest star Sebastian Stan) escorts Serena to her mother's wedding, but the two are on the rocks.
Another guest star, JoAnna Garcia, plays Nate's love interest Bree and hits up the wedding with him.
Carter and Serena split up when Carter is forced to come clean about his wrongdoing to Bree's family: he'd gotten engaged to one of Bree's relatives so her family would take care of his gambling debts, and then he ditched the girl.
Chuck and Blair are dressed in their finest casual/elegant duds for the Rufus/Lily event.
Rufus and Lily don't let a little adoption drama dampen their day. They wed at the loft to the dulcet tones of Sonic Youth.

During their first dance, Blair is happy that she has her prince — until he tells her their marriage is just a business deal.
After hearing Louis's cruel admission that their marriage will only be a show, she turns and leaves the ceremony, running away in a car driven by Dan.

Blair and Chuck say their own vows, which includes a throwback to an earlier episode: "Three words. Eight letters."
The series finale gave us another surprise wedding when we jumped to the future where Dan and Serena had some nuptials of their own. Here, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) and Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) return to Gossip Girl.
Chuck and Blair's son, Henry, attends the festivities.
