Pumbaa's arranged wedding

Pumbaa's arranged wedding is a ceremony on Pumbaa and his bride-to-be, Rosebud. When Pumbaa confesses his true nature, the wedding gets called off by Rosebud in search for a more repulsive warthog.
==Information==
===Background===
According to Mr. Buttons, the wedding has been set up years before Pumbaa was even born. After introducing Pumbaa to Rosebud, Buttons tells Timon and Pumbaa that the wedding will be at noon the next day and they should not be late. Timon suggests to run away, but Pumbaa says he should stay to honor the warthog code. Timon then tells Pumbaa that if he marries Rosebud, he will no longer hunt bugs, sing songs, and go on wacky, hijinks-filled adventures with his friend, making him change his mind. The meerkat promises to find a loophole in order to get his buddy out of the wedding.
That night, Timon and Pumbaa take Buttons' big book of Warthog Traditions and Bylaws to look for a loophole. According to the book, the groom in a warthog wedding has no say in whether or not he wants to participate in the wedding: it is only for the bride to decide since it is her special day. Timon and Pumbaa then find the loophole, which states that the bride can call the wedding off if the groom has ill-mannered behavior, unacceptable personal appearance, and foul body odor. So Timon makes Pumbaa try to be uncouth and gross and later soak in a mud pit while eating stinkbug burritos.
===The Wedding===
Timon and Pumbaa arrive two hours after the wedding was scheduled to begin (much to Buttons' anger), with Pumbaa dressed provocatively. Buttons begins the ceremony, but before the end, Pumbaa belches and knocks down a gazebo onto the lemur, who points out that Pumbaa is violating all the sacred warthog laws. He tells Rosebud that she could choose not to marry Pumbaa if she wants. She, however, is madly in love with Pumbaa's disgusting appearance because she was never allowed to behave as Pumbaa is. He reveals to her that he is faking his crazy appearance.
After she calls off the wedding and runs away, Mr. Buttons takes off his lemur costume to reveal that he is actually a disgusting warthog. He chases her off into the sunset, professing his love for her.
