I know it was the 70's, but it seemed like the lacy prairie/granny looks in wedding dresses were all the rage. Here is Y&R's Chris Brooks and Snapper Foster getting married in 1974.

5 years later Nikki wore the same dress loaned to her by Chris when Nikki wed Greg Foster in 1979. Greg looks like he may wearing the same suit as Snapper wore in 74 as well.

Hey, I actually liked the outfits worn at Eden and Cruz's Antebellum-style wedding on SB. Maybe the on-location, outdoor setting worked better than an indoor one. I do agree that both of Robin Wright's wedding gowns as Kelly were hideous.

 

For a favorite, I always loved DAYS' Carrie Brady's dress to her first marriage to Austin in 1997 (she wore the same dress to their interrupted nuptials in 1995). I find it timeless and ethereal.

It was always amusing to me the lengths that soaps would go through to have non-white second wedding gowns

 

I recall when Blaine (AW) and Marlena (DAYS) wore light blue

Cecile looked great when she almost married Peter Love on Another World.  The wedding took place on Carl Hutchins' yacht with a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s theme.   Cecile almost married Peter, but he collapsed before he could say "I Do."  Peter's seasick pills were replaced by pills that could induce a heart attack.

    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars. 
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving.
