I have just been to a friends wedding and what i am about to tell you is a true story. I laugh at this because it mirrors what actually happens in Soap Operas. Basically what happened was that the bride ran out on the wedding leaving my friend devastated.
This usually happens in a lot of soap operas. Weddings that do not go according to plan.
There are a lot of reasons why a wedding may not happen or happens but either the bride or groom are manipulated,forced or are conflicted to go through with it.
Now there are some good examples in Soap Operas.
Days Of Our Lives - 1990 - Jennifer Horton & Lawrence Alamain
-when Jennifer Horton was posing as Carly Manning who was going to marry Lawrence Alamain this control freak who wanted control over her. She forced her to marry him by kidnapping Frankie Brady and holding him captive. She married him and was then raped.
The Bold & The Beautiful - Thorne Forrester & Donna Logan
-I don`t know the whole story but Donna was using Thorne to get revenge on Stephanie.
Coronation Street - Shelley Williams & Charlie Stubbs
-Charlie psychologically controlled Shelley and come the wedding she had the courage to run out on him. Its hard to find clips of the storyline but it was a creepy one
Emmerdale - Andy Sugden & Katie Addyman
-Katie was sleeping with Andy`s brother Robert. Thats a good reason in Non Weddings (An affair coming out)
I`ll list more if i can remember some but let me know if there are any other Non Weddings you remember or Weddings in which it wasn`t happy and cheerfuly like Luke & Laura`s wedding. I have the term. A Wedding Used As A Plot Device. That is a good summing up.
It could be in current soaps,Former Cancelled Soaps,Foreign Soaps,primetime Soaps. Any soaps.
