Walker and Angela Moroni
Date: January 24, 2001
Location: small chapel in Paris
Wedding Party: Sami was to be maid of honor
Wedding Attire:
Pre-Wedding Events: As Angela and Brandon are driving to the chapel, his cell phone rings, and it is Sami. She tells him how Angela hung up on her, and he asks Angela about it. She says what was she to do after the disrespectful way Sami talked to her and her papa. Brandon gets Sami to grudgingly apologize to Angela, who decides to give Sami directions to the chapel so she can be maid of honor. She says she will give her the tape right afterwards.
The Ceremony: Brandon and Angela arrive at the chapel, are greeted by the Justice of the Peace, and Brandon tries to stall, waiting for Sami to get there. Separately, both realize he is going to have to go through with it. He wants to go get Angela a bouquet, but the JP's wife has one all ready, fresh from their garden. Sami rushes in, and the ceremony begins. Both Brandon and Angela recite their vows, and the JP asks if there is anyone who has reason to believe these two should not be married, let them speak now.......and Sami almost says something, but doesn't. BUT, just then Maroni and Kate burst in, and Brandon insists the JP pronounce them man and wife. There is yelling back and forth - Maroni scolding Angela, Kate and Sami hissing at each other - the words are spoken. Brandon and Angela are man and wife and they make a rush for the door, followed by Sami who is knocking down candle stands and other items to successfully block the way of Kate and Maroni.

Pre-Wedding Events: John and Marlena discussed their relationship while in Las Vegas for Sami and Austin's wedding. John felt bad about whatever went on with Hope during their previous honeymoon and throughout the past couple of years. He decided it would be a good time to renew their vows. He surprised Marlena by setting everything up, including their costumes.
The Ceremony: unlike most vow renewals on Days, this one actually had a priest, and it occurred among two people who have continued to be happily married. They recited their own vows.

Pre-Wedding Events: Jennifer proposed to Jack in a Santa suit, just as Jack had proposed before their first wedding. Jack and Jennifer became hosts of a talk show in their home, called "In the House." Their director and producer convinced them to have the wedding on TV, so the entire thing was filmed.

Reception:
Honeymoon: Lucas found out that Sami had tampered with Lexie's baby's DNA results, which said that Brandon was Theo's father. In fact, Lexie herself had tampered with the results, knowing that Sami would find out and change them to make it appear that Abe was the dad, not Brandon. We later found out that Abe was really the dad because Lexie had switched them. Lucas found out and burst into the honeymoon suite where Sami & Brandon were and told Brandon that Sami had switched the results and that Theo was his son, not Abe's. Brandon and Sami never got to consumate their marriage. Brandon in a rage, headed to the hospital and burst into the delivery room. Lexie told them he was mistaken and that she had tricked Sami into doing just what she knew she would do. At this time we also learned that Brandon was Abe & Fay's son. We knew about Fay, but that's when we really learned his paternity.
Status: Brandon was so infuriated with Sami, he left Salem, and then filed for an annulment.
Kate
Roberts and Roman Brady
Date: January 2, 2004
Location:
Wedding Party:
Wedding Attire: Kate wore an ivory gown that's shoulderless but loose, billowing folds in the sleeves
Pre-Wedding Events:
The Ceremony: Roman and Marlena stand at the altar as Kate walks herself down the aisle (12/30) to a country western instrumental of Here Comes the Bride. Saying he knows they want a brief ceremony, the official starts the vows and when he gets to the part asking if anyone has any objections, Lucas stuffs a napkin into Sami's mouth and he and Shawn carry Sami in her chair out the front door, LOL. Everyone chuckles a little, including Roman, and tells the official everything's okay. Outside Sami squeals and gets away as she rushes off. Lucas and Shawn rush to the other door in and block it just in time. Kate and Roman smile and nod to the two.
Roman puts the ring on Kate's finger saying it's a circle that never ends, just like his love. She puts his ring on, hoping he'll remember this moment always as she gives him her ring and her heart. She starts to cry, not being able to remember all the promises she wants to make to him. She promises to love him always, all the days of their lives. They're pronounced husband and wife and kiss. Sami cries, watching from outside.
Reception: Lucas congratulates the newlyweds and apologizes to Roman for the commotion earlier. Roman thanks him for handling it so efficiently. Outside Sami vows to break Roman and Kate up and hopes Kate will be the next victim and out of their lives. Bonnie pushes the huge three tiered wedding cake into the room as guests surround the bride and groom to cut the cake. Celeste has a vision of Kate in her wedding gown as she stands up with blood on her hands and screams. Kate asks for no messy feeding of the cake. They cut the cake together and blood starts streaming out of the cake (ewww). Lexie turns to Celeste who's crying, saying it's not over....as we see the hockey mask morph over the bleeding cakes....
Honeymoon: none
Status: Roman was attacked by the Salem Stalker. Roman was stabbed and blood splattered all over the wedding cake. Kate found him soon afterwards and she came into the reception where everyone was waiting. They were shocked to see her covered in blood. Roman was believed to be dead. Roman was not really dead. Just like all of the other Salem Stalker victims, he was living on the Caribbean island, alive and well.
Maggie
and Mickey Horton
Date: 7/18/05
Location: Chez Rouge, the new restaurant that Mickey bought for Maggie
Wedding Party: there was no wedding party
Wedding Attire: Maggie wore an off white dress, while Mickey wore a traditional black tuxedo
Pre-Wedding Events: After being back in Salem for months (having been presumed dead), Maggie's death certificate was finally rescended. Mickey was ready to renew his vows with Maggie since his marriage to Bonnie Lockhardt was now illegal. Mickey surprised her at their house with a bouquet of flowers and the deed to a new restaurant. Bonnie was convinced that Mickey had chosen her and he was giving the restaurant to Maggie as a "settlement." Of course Bonnie was wrong, as she was the one left with a settlement--Alice's restaurant. Bonnie only learned this after getting dressed up and going to Chez Rouge thinking she was about to renew her vows with Mickey.
The Ceremony: It was very simple and they declared their love to one another with their own words, reciting no official vows.

Jennifer
Horton and Frankie Brady
Date: June 21, 2006
Location: St. Luke's Church in Salem
Wedding Party: Max was the best man, Hope was the matron of honor
Wedding Attire: Hope wore a dusty lavender taffeta dress from Nicole Miller, while Jenn wore a white dress with a headband, veil and train. Max and Frankie both wore tuxes with bowties
Pre-Wedding Events: When Jack was preparing to die, he made a video for Frankie, encouraging him to take care of Jennifer. Frankie did as asked and the two were soon a couple. Jenn told Frankie she wanted to marry him and they had an engagement party and their wedding in the course of just a few weeks.
The Ceremony: It was a fairly small affair. Jenn asked Jack to "give her away." She looked up to the sky and talked to him just before she walked down the aisle. Just after saying their vows, Jack walked into the church.
Reception:

Status: The marriage was immediately void because Jack was still alive.
Sami
Brady and Austin Reed
Date: 2006
Location: St. Luke's Catholic Church
Wedding Party:
Wedding Attire:
Pre-Wedding Events: What didn't go wrong on the way to the church? Sami overslept, so EJ told her he'd get her to the church on time. They were pulled over for speeding, but EJ was allowed to go because of his notoriety as a race car driver. Of course the car wouldn't start. Sami desperately tried to reach someone to come and pick her up, but no one seemed to be answering their cell phones. Frustrated, Sami threw hers to the ground, breaking it. With no car, the pair started walking. Of course it started to rain and the soaked couple headed for shelter in an abandoned house. To Sami and EJ's surprise, the house was furnished, including, of all things, a ham radio. The real surprise? EJ knew how to use it. While stuck in the house, Sami dug around in an old trunk. Inside, she found an old uniform jacket. She couldn't help but be impressed with how handsome EJ looked when he slipped it on. The copule shared a dance. Of course you know what happens to you when you break into a house. EJ and Sami suddenly found the police at the door, ready to arrest them. Despite telling the cop about her father's status in the Salem PD, she ended up in a jail cell.
