Are Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy married?

Redirected from Wedding Piggy

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

InterviewsEdit

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.
