Beautiful Wedding today! Have your tissues handy. 
The wedding ceremony begins as Marlena welcomes everyone to this joyous occasion, the marriage of Jackson Kiriakis and William Horton. She says that Will and Sonny have written their own vows and they invited some special people to speak. She calls Caroline up first. It appears as though Caroline isn’t sure what’s going on at first and people start to worry. Eric tells Caroline she’s up but she seems confused. Will walks over to her and tells her maybe this was too much for her. But she call him Will and points and says Sonny and goes up to the podium to speak. She starts to tell a story about Robert and James who ran a specialty shop by the fish market and were some of their first customers at the Pub, they’d order the same beer every time and toast each other for getting through another day at the docks. Everyone looks around at each other nervously not knowing what is going on. She talks of how well the two got along. Then one day Robert was at the bar by himself, while James was there with his family, as if he didn’t know Robert. Robert sat by himself but poured two beers, one for himself and one for James. Caroline and Shawn were confused. They were always together those two. And why were those people calling him Jimmy, he’s James. Then it hit her…they were gay…but unable to be public about it. She wasn’t sure what upset her more, James’s family acting like that or the sadness on Robert and James’s faces. As she speaks, they pan the room…not a dry eye in the house. Caroline turns to Will and Sonny and says she’s so glad the world is changing now and they can proudly show their love for each other. She wishes them a lifetime of laughter and finishing each other’s sentences. Everyone claps as Caroline takes her seat.
Next Justin speaks. He talks of how they caught Sonny as a young boy up on a tree limb. He was never afraid to go after what he wanted. He needed to learn about using caution. That sense of fearlessness was put to good use when at 15 Sonny came out to his parents. He did so with such a sense of confidence and maturity. Justin is happy that Sonny found a partner in life to share with and be by his side.
Then Lucas gets up to speak. He says how easy and smooth it was for Sonny to come out to his family and jokes how it was exactly the same way with Will, no drama whatsoever. Everyone chuckles. He talks of how rational he and Sami are. LOL. Will had it tough growing up but he and Sami can agree that Will is the best thing they could ask for, he was a better son than they deserve. When Will came out, first Sami had a moment, and then he did. He ignorantly thought this was just some state of confusion Will was going through. It was not the life he dreamed his son would have growing up but it’s better than anything he could have hoped for finding true love and happiness. He’s so proud to call Will his son. Father/son hug to a round of applause. Sami tearfully smiles and claps.
Sonny says how most people never have to think about why they can get married. They did. They looked back in history and with the help of JJ and Abigail, put together photos and moments of people that paved the way. Will thanks everyone for all their support for the two of them. Marlena says let’s make this official. Sonny begins his vows. He talks of loving adventure, been on the edge, travelled, etc. He tells Will he’s his anchor that doesn’t weigh him down. He loves being able to come home to Will, says their life together is the adventure he now looks forward to, tells him he loves him and can’t wait to start a life with him and Arianna. Then Will says he doesn’t quite have the same penchant for adventure as Sonny. He did some pretty messed up things growing up, didn’t think about his future. He felt like his own skin was a coat too heavy. He realized who he really was once he came out and found Sonny. He quotes Ian Forrester as true love as two imperfect souls coming together to form something perfect. He respects, admires, adores, and loves Sonny. Time to exchange rings. They both go through the standard vows and exchange rings. Marlena puts her hand over theirs and says may the love you share be the bond that brings you strength, comfort, and joy all the days of your lives. She pronounces them husbands for life. Kiss! Everyone cheers and claps as balloons fall from the ceiling.
Now the reception begins. Sami tells Will how proud she is of him. He says he got lucky but she reminds him how wonderful he is. He says she and dad taught him how much family matters and it’s worth fighting for. Sami is so glad that he has someone in his life to take care of him.
Victor and Maggie tell Caroline what a wonderful speech she gave. She thanks Victor for holding the ceremony here. He says his house is always open to family.
Cute scene where Ciara checks out Theresa’s purse.
Eric hugs Marlena and tells her what a wonderful job she did officiating. Marlena asks where Nicole is. She had to work but would be happy to know she would have been welcome.
Outside Jordan is taking a picture of Gabi and Abigail. They chitchat. EJ and Sami happen by canoodling. EJ and Abby exchange looks. Abby goes to leave but Sami wants to thank her for helping make this day so special for Will and Sonny. Gabi mentions EJ and Sami’s wedding coming up. Abigail looks upset.
Time for the first dance. JJ plays his guitar while Will and Sonny dance. Tender kiss. Later EJ tells the happy couple that he handled covering the honeymoon suite at the Salem Inn for them. Now Marlena and Roman come over. Apparently they were talking to Carrie and Austin. They were sick to have missed the wedding but the little one couldn’t fly with an ear infection. Sonny says maybe they can go visit them soon.
Theresa confronts Jennifer about talking smack. She needs to back off. Jen says she knows Theresa is responsible for all those comments about her but Theresa says there are more people out there who hate her so she should watch out. Abigail pulls Jen away and JJ tells Theresa to leave his mother alone. Theresa turns to leave in a huff and runs smack into one of the wait staff with a tray full of appetizers landing all over her. Everyone laughs at her. Later she is up in one of the bedrooms cleaning up. Brady comes in. They chat and soon start kissing. Roman walks in saying what da hell is this? He starts in on Brady about looking after his niece. He leaves. Theresa apologizes for her gossipy cop uncle. Brady wants to make a getaway from the party and suggests they take the back stairs.
Sami and Adrienne ding their glasses, both with the idea to give the first toast. Will and Sonny glance at each other nervously. Both mothers think they should speak first. The guys tell them to do it together so they alternate telling them how wonderful they are together, etc. The two women then start one-upping each other, Sami and EJ setting up the hotel room tonight, Adrienne and Justin paying for a real honeymoon, Sami offering to help them find their first house. Justin and EJ break up the ensuing cat fight and toast to Will and Sonny.
Kate talks to Will alone outside. He confronts her about her feelings re: asking Marlena to marry them. Kate assures him it’s alright and that Marlena was really there for him when he was coming out. He says Kate taught him to always stand up for himself. They hug.
Now the grooms cut the cake. Then they do the receiving line and then get glitter thrown at them from the guests as they walk out the door together. They kiss outside the door.
