When Days really DID weddings.......

Obviously, this is Doug & Julie's wedding, long time ago, when Days really did .......perhaps JS or KathyLu can tell us who all the attendants and ushers are. (yes, I see Maggie, & I think one of the ushers is Bill Horton (standing right behind Robert Clary who played Robert LeClair (I remember him as LeBeau on Hogan's Heroes).

Days really used to go all out for the weddings......even years later, but now...heck, married off camera, or at home with one or two people watching. No more lovely dresses, tuxes, churches, flowers, etc.

These photos make my heart reminisce for the golden Days! They had super-couples, extravagant weddings, families attended church regularly according to their faith, and families were strong. Just add Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton to my list of dream weddings.

I am loving all of these photos. I miss the big spectacle weddings too (and the required "...all the days of our lives..." line that was in every vow recital)

Wow, now in order to get that many people in a wedding scene, it has to be a rushed double wedding that's going to be interrupted by a murderer. LOL

Here are a couple of favorite wedding photos for Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton Deverreaux:

Smaller, less expensive weddings but still beautiful & meaningful.

What a difference a few decades make. A modern compendium of weddings would show EJ being shot off the altar, Chad disrupting Nick-Gabi, Eve dumping Brady instead of saying I do, the raccoons watching Rafe and Hope take their cabin vows in what could be the shortest marriage in Salem history, Aiden checking his neckties soon after the ceremony, and the press intruding on Will-Sonny.

Don't forget bat-crap crazy Vivian trying to kill Melanie with the poisoned comb. Or the X-man Xander kidnapping Jeannie T before she got to the church.

Plus now, weddings are in living rooms, bars, hotel rooms, & Days won't even pay for extra or under 5 to do the marrying as JP or minister.... Instead, Salemites are asked to get credentials online, or something, to perform the ceremonies. Currently, Marlena, Abe & Justin all have the ability to pronounce people married. Egads.

I remember seeing Jack & Jennifer's outdoor wedding. I may have seen a few of the others (I watched with my parents from an early age), but don't remember them. However, I do remember Bo interrupting Hope's wedding (to Larry Welch). When he stole the cop's motorcycle.

Yes, and then when they go and do a church wedding, it's a CATHOLIC church for a divorced couple and a gay couple. Okiedokie.

I grew up watching with my grandma, aunts and Mom glued to Days. Nothing else was done that hour! It gives me an overall sense of the show like you have too.
