Weddings of '97
Billie Reed & Bo Brady
Date: June 16
Location: Rome, Italy
Wedding Party: Hope and Franco were invited as guests, but Hope ended up as the Maid of Honor
Wedding Attire: Billie wore a dress that Hope had worn the day before for a photo shoot.
Pre-Wedding Events: They did this to convince J.L King that they were in love and on his side. Bo tried right up to the last minute to try and stop the wedding but there was no way to. Billie was a little excited although she knew Bo did not really want to do this.
The Ceremony: King had made all the arrangements, including sending Hope and Franco an invitation to a wedding for an unknown couple. Hope and Franco stood up for them and when Bo and Billie were reciting their vows, Hope fainted. However, she got up and told them to continue the wedding. All the while all Bo could do was think and wish he was marrying Hope. Billie was happy that Hope fainted. When Bo and Billie kissed, Bo flashed back to his wedding with Hope in England.
Reception: At the reception Bo and Hope danced to "His Is The Only Music That Makes Me Dance" and Bo nearly told Hope how he felt and what was going on but he never did.
Honeymoon: they stayed in Rome, but there was never really a honeymoon as Bo and Billie continued their plan to bring down King and Billie was drugged by Max.
Carrie Brady & Austin Reed
Date: September 8
Location: St. Luke's Catholic Church, Salem
Wedding Party: Best Man-Mike Horton; Matron of Honor-Marlena Evans; Flower Girl-Abby Deveraux
Wedding Attire: Austin wore the same tuxedo he was wearing for his wedding to Sami, but everyone else in the party changed clothing. Austin even had John go and buy new rings for the couple to exchange. Carrie and Abby wore the dresses that they had worn for the wedding the first time around.
Pre-Wedding Events: The wedding happened without much preparation. 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 out 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.
Reception: Kate Roberts' house; Sami made a scene by catching the bouquet, while Mike caught the garter; the couple danced to their song, "I only have eyes for you."
Honeymoon: They spent their wedding night in Salem in the Honeymoon suite at a local hotel. Sami tried to disturb their evening, but they were finally allowed to spend some time together, even though there were interruptions. The couple honeymooned in Rome where they met up with Bo and Billie
