Jake & Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

The wedding of two characters who have been a part of the story since the beginning is a milestone for any TV show.

Less typical is the bomb threat to their venue and Amy's ex-boyfriend Teddy showing up as the captain of the bomb squad. Charles saves the day by setting up the wedding outside the precinct where Jake and Amy are married in one of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's sweetest moments.
