Salem Weddings

[ShaunP(not ShawnD!)]

Talking about St. Luke's sent me down a rabbit hole and I came across this video Days put out celebrating weddings over the decades. I hadn't remembered that back in the 80's they did weddings in actual churches on location. There have to be 300 people at Bo and Hope's wedding!

Oh, wow, that was great! Thanx Shawn P........wherever you found this, just love it!

Ahhhh, back when soaps had huge budgets and could pack a wedding with most of the characters and a ton of extras.

I'm a little disappointed they didn't show Sami's wedding when Will shot EJ off the altar.

JS, how about when Xander picked off Marlena when he was trying to shoot Eric. Then there was the “romantic” wedding presided over by Father Eric where Victor showed the Kritter-Eric sex tape. That’s the thing about Salem weddings, you can get heart-warming romance or depressing nastiness or criminality.

Don't forget the first Gabi and Nick wedding when Chad stood up and called Gabi a tramp (he used a different word, but the board would auto-bleep it).

I bought a VCR just to watch Bo and Hope's wedding. I'd visited London the summer before and I had to watch those shows. lol

Kristian Alfonso (Hope) loved Hope's wedding gown so much that she borrowed it from the wardrobe department when she married her first husband.

Can someone explain this veil/headpiece? It looks like it comes from sci-fi, LOL.

That happens to be Deidre Hall's (Marlena) favorite wedding get up.

I remember Deidre Hall (Marlena) used to joke that this wedding gown and veil were her Statue of Liberty look.

Here's a front view of her gown/veil:

Has anyone got any clips from Doug and Julie's 1981 wedding?

Welcome to the board, Hayes.

There's a small clip on page three of the Doug/Julie topic

Someone posted the scenes from the story Doug told Ciara

Thanks. I saw that clip but I was hoping for more of the ceremony.

 

[Just Samantha]

You could hunt around on YouTube to see if there are any longer clips from that wedding.
