Help Identifying/Locating TV Commercial

(I know this is a stretch, but...) There was a TV commercial on from time to time 10 years ago or more-- mid to late 90's, early 00's. It may not have been national-- I was living in Utah at the time and it could have been an ad for a Utah or Salt Lake City business. (Sorry.) In the commercial, a somewhat dorky couple gets married. If I remember correctly, the bride was in a very modestly cut wedding dress (to the wrists, ankles, neck) and was wearing thick glasses, while the somewhat balding groom was wearing one of those awful baby-blue tuxedos with the huge lapels, bow tie, and ruffles in front. The minister pronounces them man and wife, or whatever, and there is a less-than-enthusiastic cheer from the onlookers. The commercial cuts to the honeymoon suite at a local motel, with the couple, still in dress and tuxedo, sitting at the foot of the bed, nervously looking at each other. Suddenly, the groom bursts out laughing but quickly squelches his laughter out of nervousness. The commercial then announces what it was meant to announce, something to the effect that some situations in life are awkward, but doing business with us doesn't have to be, etc., etc. The last line of the commercial is the bride telling the groom in (again) a slightly nasal, dorky voice: "You're fun to be married to."

Anyway. I would love to see the commercial again. A Google search for "You're fun to be married to" yields 1 result, which is not it. Permutations of awkward, wedding, nervous, and commercial also don't seem to be much help. Did anyone else happen to see and remember this commercial, and know what company produced the ad? Thanks much! Kingsfold (Quack quack!) 15:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm at work and can't do a proper search, but I've had luck in the past by going directly to YouTube and putting in as many keywords as I could recall. If you knew the company name or even what kind of store it might have been, that would certainly help. Something like TV commercial wedding (store name) might get you something. Sorry I can't try it myself to see what comes up, but maybe you'll have some luck if you play around with the keywords. I wouldn't bother with the spoken words when searching YouTube - unless nothing else helps. Matt Deres (talk) 17:25, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
