Days of Our Lives
Thursday, August 23, 2018
It finally is the wedding day, time….I missed the first 10 minutes or so…..but…everyone is seated, Abe is presiding, calling Will up to say a few words. He reads a passage from Shakespeare, then talks of losing his memory, being a bartender in Memphis, how folks have said he & Marlena were close but he has no memory of that. However, she talked to him in Memphis, convinced him to come to Salem where folks loved him, and that he found. He is grateful, thanks her, loves them both. Suddenly, he has a memory flashback of Marlena presiding over his marriage to Sonny. He is shocked, taken aback, tells no one. Everyone can see him sort of in a trance, but he shakes it off, goes back to his seat as Paul is called up. Paul reads something from a poet named Goethe, mentioning the guy was a baseball player, who knew to hold up his glove to catch a ball. He winks at John….then reads the piece, all about eternal love. Will is rather shaken, gets up and goes out for air.
All thru the show, while Marlena & John are saying vows, there is Will outside, remembering various parts of his wedding to Sonny. It is rather disconcerting…plus Sonny is in the Pub, drowning his sorrows over Will telling him no dice, he loves Paul, etc. etc. Sonny moans on Roman’s shoulder, Roman talks of how he was against Will/Sonny when Will first came out, but is so proud of them, helping him to eradicate some of his ideas, etc. Sami had warned him if he would not be in Will’s life, he changed his attitude.
Marlena does her vow, very long, drawn out, the ups, downs and how much she loves John. Shots of audience, Eve’s head on Brady’s shoulder, Jen next to Eric, Susan sniffling into a hanky. Now John’s turn, he talks of their crazy life, how he had to sometimes leave middle of night for some far off place, but she was always in his mind. And that stuff is over. His vows are not as long as Marlena’s, but heartfelt. Will is outside, lots of remembrances of his vows, he is in tears. And Will is pulling himself together, taking deep breaths, about to return inside, when up comes Sonny. Stares.
Inside, Abe is asking John if he takes Marlena as wife. Yes, puts ring on finger, With this ring, I thee wed. Abe now starts to ask Marlena, only a female voice rings out, no, no, you can’t marry him, you can’t, & a disheveled Sami runs in, trips and falls face down on the aisle. Susan is digging in her purse.
