"December Bride" is the eleventh episode of the eighth season of the situation comedy television series Roseanne. The episode was written by William Lucas Walker and directed by Gail Mancuso. The episode originally aired on ABC on December 12, 1995. The episode revolves around the wedding of recurring character Leon Carp (Martin Mull). Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) volunteers to plan his wedding to his boyfriend, but goes against his wishes to create her own vision of a gay wedding.

"December Bride" was the first time an American television series had depicted the same-sex wedding of a recurring character. Along with the Friends episode "The One with the Lesbian Wedding" that aired a month later, it attracted controversy for portraying a same-sex wedding and network censorship. Nonetheless, it received positive reviews from critics.
