In The Muppets (2011), Miss Piggy and Kermit each have the torn halves of a photo from their wedding scene in The Muppets Take Manhattan.

Miss Piggy has always had two magnificent obsessions: her stardom, and her love for Kermit the Frog. In the case of the latter, she has gone to great lengths to convince, fool and force the frog into matrimony. This entry serves to chronicle her attempts at marital bliss, if not her penchant for delusion.

“ It's all nonsense, of course, but all of us have dreams, so why shouldn't Piggy? The only difference is that hers is more impossible than most, but you can't help admiring her for trying so long and so hard to make it come true.
—The Muppet Show Annual 1978 		”

“ In the show's course there's a wedding, led by a little, old man who acts as minister... As the film ends, it's apparent that Kermit has married Miss Piggy. Kermit says - and will continue to say - on interviews and such, "I'm just an actor and when two actors marry on stage, they're only acting." But Miss Piggy continues to bring in this minister as evidence that they're really married. So, the argument will continue on hopefully into — I don't know what — we'll wait and see.
— Jim Henson, August 1984[1] 		”

      The problem is I've never found the prospect of a relationship here compelling. They have virtually nothing in common. Piggy's only words...

      Well, the point per above is that it tended to go back and forth, if more sporadically, even in "the days." We just didn't have a Wiki then...
