Vivian Alamain and Victor Kiriakis
Date:
Jan. 19, 1995
Location: Kiriakis mansion
Wedding Party: Ivan was the best man and Olga was the maid of honor.
Wedding Attire: Victor, Henderson and Ivan wore a tux, Olga wore a blue dress (which she thought was too revealing), Vivian wore a large white dress, since she was pregnant of Phillip.
Pre-Wedding Events: Vivian was in charge of the wedding arrangements for Kate and Victor's wedding. Vivian set up the wedding to get Victor to marry her by creating a "surprise rehearsal" for Victor and Kate. Kate was on a business trip, so Vivian would pose for Kate. Before the wedding started, Vivian already had Victor sign his marriage license, which he thought Kate would sign when she returned. After Victor had signed and left, Vivian quickly signed it and ordered Ivan to go to the city hall to make it official.
The Ceremony: Vivian "stands-in" for Kate, but says the vows, etc. It was a very small ceremony, with Henderson as the only guest. There was a photographer and a judge married Victor and Vivian. Ivan gave his "Madame" away. The judge started with reading a Shakesperian Sonnet, chosen by the bride, but Vivian learned from Ivan that Kate was standing outside and ordered the judge to skip the poem. Then they recited these vows. Somehow the marriage license also became official, and Vivian is actually married to Victor. He did not realize what had happened until Sept. 11, 1995.
Reception: Olga threw rice and congratulated Vivian. Later, Victor and Vivian cut the wedding cake. Henderson caught the garter and Olga caught the bouquet and was hoping to marry Ivan, but Ivan had left during the ceremony to distract Kate.
Honeymoon: none
Status: Victor found out that Vivian had tricked him into marriage and attempted to divorce her. She eventually got back into his good graces and as they were about to consummate their marriage, Kate came "back from the dead" (She'd been stuck on a fishing boat for the past year or so). Vivian was finally forced to divorce Victor as part of her plea bargain, after it was brought to light Vivian's part in Kristen's schemes.

Date:
February 13, 1995

Wedding Party: There was no wedding party.
Wedding Attire: Tony wore a tuxedo, Kristen a simple, pale pink dress.
Pre-wedding events: After a talk with Father Francis, Kristen confessed her affair with John Black to Tony and Tony was devastated, but told her he still loved her. Tony forgave Kristen for her affair and they wanted to start over again. They decided to renew their wedding vows and went to the church the same evening.
Ceremony: Everyone felt a little awkward when John Black was the only priest on service that night. John decided to renew their vows if that was what Kristen really wanted. Kristen was determined to make her marriage work and exchanged vows with Tony. Meanwhile, outside the church, a possessed Marlena Evans blocked the church doors with an axe and threw gasoline over the bushes in front of the church. She lit the fire and the church began to burn. Inside, as John was about to give them the blessing of the church, he saw the fire through the windows and Tony, John and Kristen ran to the doors, which they couldn't open. Several Salemites who were dining at Chez Vous got word of the fire and rushed to the church. Peter Blake, who was shocked to hear his sister screaming in the burning church worked together with Bo Brady and they got the trio out of the church. Stefano, who witnessed everything from behind a tree, was relieved his son and daughter were not harmed. The firemen arrived and stopped the fire. Tony promised Bo and Billie, who were scheduled to marry in St. Luke's in a few days, that he would finance the rebuilding of the church and it would be finished in time for their wedding.
Reception: There was no reception. Shocked by what had happened, Tony and Kristen returned to the DiMera Mansion.

That's right she slapped poor Jack who's intentions where good, but his timing was bad!
The Ceremony: the Blake House in Aremid
Reception: The Blake House in Aremid
Honeymoon: They went on their honeymoon after being delayed for about six months. They started off by going to England, and then going to Paris to join the rest of the gang, which is where Jack and Daniel Scott finally exposed Peter. Jenn and Peter were going to have Abby brought to Paris, to meet them, and then they were going to go on a six month cruise together as a family. When Jack realized that he wouldn't see Abby for six months if that happened, it gave him the extra motivation to expose Peter.
Status: Jack finally proved that Peter
was still doing illegal business and Jennifer left Peter. He
attempted to kidnap her but was stopped by Jack, who shot him. Peter
survived but Stefano helped him fake his death. Jack went to prison
for Peter's murder but eventually escaped and went on the run with

Pre-Wedding Events: Carrie managed to reunite with Austin only after stopping his marriage to Sami, with a memorable roundhouse punch. The wedding happened without much preparation since Sami and Austin were set to wed in the church that day. Carrie and Eric were on to Sami's schemes, so Eric told Roman that he had doubts and Roman pretended to faint in order to halt Sami and Austin's wedding. In the meantime, Eric and Carrie went to University hospital to find info on what Sami was hiding. With Mike's help, they were able to uncover the fact that Austin wasn't Will's father. Carrie returned to the church and stopped Austin and Sami's wedding. Austin proposed to Carrie shortly after Sami's lies were revealed and they were married that day. Their marriage license from their first attempt at marriage was still valid--it expired one day later.
The Ceremony: It was quick and went off without any problems, other than Sami screaming through the window of the church, trying to stop the wedding.

Bo
and Billie Brady
Date: January 3 and 4, 1995
Location: St. Luke's Catholic Church
Wedding Party: Bridesmaids--Gina, Carrie (maid of honor), Kristen and Jennifer; Austin walked her down the aisle
Wedding Attire: The bridesmaids wore off the shoulder long dresses that were a dark, orangish yellow. Kristen hired Jacque Marcell, a designer from Europe to make them.
Pre-Wedding Events: Billie almost lost Bo to Gina after he became convinced that she was really Hope. Celeste had planted memories in Gina's mind that only Hope could have, but Billie exposed the subterfuge. Billie "disappeared" before the wedding, while the bridesmaids were getting ready, and went to St. Luke's church to pray. Austin knew where she was and followed her. He told her that she wouldn't need him any more but Billie said she would always need him.
The Ceremony: Marlena, as the devil, loosened a chandelier from the church ceiling and it came crashing down during the ceremony, at some point after Austin walked her down the aisle and the priest was beginning to say the mass. The chandelier came loose, Bo pushes Billie out of harm's way, Austin jumps up from the front pew and pulls Carrie back, but she tries to move forward and reach Billie and Bo, Peter runs up and moves Jennifer from where she is, Mrs. Horton stands up and has a shocked look on her face, the chandelier falls and knocks Billie and Bo out... (mostly Billie, but the next scene she comes to) Bo stands up right away. The wedding resumed following the confusion and a brief investigation by the police. After this was over, Alice, still convinced that Gina was Hope, stopped the ceremony. At that point, the minister could not be convinced to marry the couple, since it was possible that Hope was alive.
Bo and Billie Brady
Date:
January 16, 1995
Location: Green Mountain
Wedding Party: There was no wedding party
Pre wedding events: Alice Horton stopped Bo & Billie's wedding at New Years Eve, because she was convinced Gina Horton was really Hope. The minister didn't want to go through with the ceremony until it was proven who the girl was. Billie was devastated and afraid she and Bo would never marry. Bo felt sorry for her and Austin Reed encouraged him to do something special for Billie. Carrie Brady got Billie to go to a business deal at Green Mountain Ski Lodge, but when Billie arrived there, Bo was waiting there for her. They danced together and went skiing, something Billie had never done before. Later they bathed in a hot tub. Bo surprised Billie by saying he wanted to marry her tonight and brought out a dress for her. She changed and had to come outside to meet Bo in the forest. There they had their own symbolic wedding.
Wedding Attire: Billie wore a fairy-tale-like wedding dress with a huge capuchin. Bo wore nothing fancy, just a black jacket.
Ceremony: Bo had decorated some trees with lights and it looked like a fairy tale. Bo and Billie were all alone and there wasn't a minister. They recited these vows:

Kate
and Victor Kiriakis
Date: February 21, 1995 (Feb
20?)
Location: The Bridal Suite of the Salem Inn.
Wedding Party: There was no wedding party.
Wedding Attire: Victor wore a tux, Kate wore a simple, but beautiful, white dress.
Pre-Wedding Events: Victor had notified Henderson that he and Kate were getting married at the Salem Inn. Henderson couldn't tell anyone, because everyone expected a big wedding, organized by Vivian (who was carrying Phillip at the time). Victor and Kate wanted their child born in wedlock, so they decided to have a quick wedding with no guests. Vivian had married Victor legally during the wedding rehearsal, when Kate was out of town, but Victor wasn't aware of that. Vivian released herself from the hospital, where she had been for premature labor pains. Vivian knew Victor and Kate were up to something and questioned Henderson at the Kiriakis Mansion. After yelling to him, Henderson reluctantly told her Mr. Kiriakis and Ms. Roberts were about to marry at the Salem Inn. Vivian and Ivan rushed to the Inn, where they had to search every room because the clerk wouldn't tell them in which suite the wedding was taking place. Vivian and Ivan came upon some very weird guests and decided to get the suite number from a maid, because they didn't had the time to search every room. Unfortunately, the maid was Swedish and didn't understand English. After a lot of sign language from Vivian's side, a kiss between Vivian and Ivan and the humming of the wedding march, the maid finally understood what they were looking for and showed them the suite.
The Ceremony: As Victor and Kate were exchanging vows, Vivian and Ivan crashed the intimate ceremony and Vivian came up with all sorts of excuses to try to stop their wedding. As a last resort, she decided to show Victor that he was married to her by showing him the legal wedding certificate from the wedding rehearsal. As she was about to show it, the stress caused her to go into labor and she was brought to the bedroom of the suite where the baby was delivered by Victor, Kate and Ivan.
Reception: There was no reception. After the baby was born, Kate gathered her other children (Austin, Billie and Lucas) and Victor's son Bo at Brady's Pub where she told them they had a new brother. They went all to University Hospital where they saw their brother for the first time.
Honeymoon: Their honeymoon was canceled since the baby was born.
Status: The wedding was never completed, so they weren't married.

Wedding Attire: The women in the wedding party wore light purple dresses with tiny beading around the shoulders and bust.
Pre-Wedding Events: They had a bridal shower for Carrie at the Brady Pub, which the men (Jonah, Austin and most of all, Peter) crashed, coming in and doing strange belly dancing.
The Ceremony: Austin recited a poem to Carrie. Sami Brady, who had been missing for months, was found in the vestibule. Carrie welcomed her sister back and made her Maid of Honor. As the ceremony resumed, Sami fainted. As she came to, she announced that she was pregnant with Austin's child. Carrie called off the wedding.

Location: St. Luke's Catholic Church, Salem
Wedding Party: Jennifer was the maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Lexie, Wendy, Sami. Hope had asked Carrie to be in the wedding party, but she declined because Sami was in it and she didn't want to cause a disruption on Hope's wedding day. (At the time, Sami had a restraining order against Carrie.) Melissa, Kimberly, Marie, Doug & Julie came back to Salem for the wedding
Pre-wedding Events: (from soapcity.com) Hope looked beautiful and the church was filled with friends and family who had gathered to see Bo and Hope's love renewed. Unfortunately, Bo's preoccupation with the mysterious Salem newcomer, Franco Kelly, set him off on a mission. Bo was convinced that Franco is a killer, and the man who assaulted at least one Salem woman. So when Bo followed Franco to Horton Island, he really was thinking only of Billie Reed's safety. However, Franco was being paid by a secret boss to keep Bo and Hope apart. On the wedding day, Hope discovered an unclothed Bo and Billie together in bed at the Horton cabin. Mishaps with the boat, radio and the absence of neighbors had stranded Bo on the island. Bo was determined to get back to Salem and tried to swim the river to get back for the wedding, but it was impossible. Afterward, cold, wet and exhausted, he fell asleep. Hope and Franco Kelly left the wedding to search for him. When Hope found him, she called off the wedding because of Bo's continued interest in Billie. Hope felt he was more than just being protective towards Billie. She also felt Bo's fixation on proving Franco a dangerous man was unreasonable.
Wedding Attire: Hope wore a white dress that looked more like underwear than a wedding dress. The bridesmaids dresses were fuchsia and long.

Pre-Wedding Events: Susan locked Marlena and Kristen in the secret room and impersonated Kristen. She tried to get her Elvis tattoo removed so John wouldn't see it and cancel the wedding.
The Ceremony: Stefano was disguised as a waiter at the DiMera mansion where the wedding was supposed to take place in the backyard. Kristen and Marlena had passed out in the secret room due to the gas line that they had tripped. Laura got out of the hospital, came to the wedding and demanded that "Kristen" tell everyone where she was holding Marlena captive. Everyone thought Laura was nuts, until she shook Susan, who was drunk, and her teeth came flying out, landing in Vivian's champagne glass. John was stunned and Abe sealed off the area until John figured out what was going on. They all went into the DiMera living room, where Laura and Marlena recounted all of Kristen's nasty deeds, and Celeste helped.

Wedding Attire: Jonesy wore a tux and Vivian wore a dress and white fur cape, with white feathers standing up in her hair. Ivan, the "Rabbi" was in a big hat and black mustache.
Pre-Wedding Events: Jonesy began watching and following Vivian and Ivan in late 1997. When they finally were introduced, Jonesy referred to Vivian as his "Flora Dora." He was confusing her with the woman he was engaged to, who had been a dancer with the Ziegfield Follies. Just before the wedding, when Jonesy asks about a license, Ivan (Rabbi) said he has a special license that if anyone's been engaged for more than 20 years, they can get married.
The Ceremony: Jonesy vows to make her happy and to love THEIR children and to be happy through all eternity. She promises to be there in "sickness and in wealth, I mean health." They kiss after Ivan pronounces them man and wife. Following the ceremony, she asks that he write out his will.

Status: They are once again engaged because Jonesy is dying and Vivian wants to make sure the will is valid, so she'll get all his money

Date:
April 8, 1998
Location: Penthouse Grille
Wedding Party: Marlena was Maid of Honor, John walked the bride down the aisle, Belle was flower girl and Brady was ring bearer
Wedding Attire: Susan wore a fairly tame wedding dress, in comparison to the dress that Susan wore in her wedding to John. It was a typical white dress with a veil.
Pre-Wedding Events: Susan and Edmund met in England a few months earlier when Susan fled Salem to protect her son, Elvis. After Susan returned to Salem, Edmund followed. Unfortunately, the woman he proposed to wasn't Susan, it was Kristen masquerading as Susan. However, Kristen had no choice but to agree to the wedding in order to get "her baby" back. Edmund planned the wedding with Maggie and Caroline's help, surprising Susan.
The Ceremony: It was fairly simple and went off without any problems, or so it seemed. Of course it was Kristen taking the vows, which makes the wedding invalid.
Reception: Penthouse Grille
Honeymoon: Bermuda
Status: It didn't last long, since
Susan was really Kristen. Susan escaped from the fortress in Bermuda
and met up with Kristen and Edmund at the airport. Susan reclaimed
her husband and married him on the plane to England.
Samantha Brady and Franco Kelly
Date: August 26, 1998 (Austin & Carrie's Anniversary according to the storyline, but not in actuality)
Location: Kiriakis Mansion
Wedding Party: Nicole was the Maid of Honor and Eric was the Best Man
Wedding Attire: After trying on quite a few gowns, Sami chose a white, low-neck with little ruffles around the collar and a tiara attached to the veil. Her hair was crimpy. Nicole wore a dark purple dress with mesh around the top and her hair was up in a French twist. Marlena was wearing a long sparkly dark purple dress with her hair down. Sami also went and bought a white dress for Belle and a Tux for Brady. For the wedding thing..."Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," Sami "borrowed" a heart-shaped diamond necklace that was a gift from Sami's portrayer, Alison Sweeney's boyfriend, Dave.
Pre-Wedding Events: Franco needs a Green Card because his was a fake, so he needed to marry Sami to stay in the country. He has also been having an affair with a stripper Candy. The night before the wedding they had a party at the pub. Candy was hired by Kate as a stripper. When she popped out of a cake and saw Franco, she made a scene. Sami stopped the party and demanded to know what was going on. Franco then made up a story about Candy and Roberto being a couple and that he was just helping Roberto get closer to Candy because he was shy. Roberto came and played along with Candy and Sami believed him. She said she can truly trust him now. Franco thinks that Sami hired Candy. Kate told Nicole if she ever wants to be a model anywhere she can't tell anyone that she hired Candy.
The Ceremony: The wedding never actually happened because Franco was shot after he had an argument with Kate and Austin told Sami that Franco had been having an affair with Candy. Sami vowed she would kill him. So Sami is the obvious suspect in the murder of Franco Kelly. However, Lucas was the actual murderer.
Reception: Was scheduled to be in the Kiriakis garden
