One more that I couldn't resist, because what else would one wear for their wedding to a TV evangelist in the 1980s but this ensemble from Knots Landing?

Even Tammy Faye Baker wouldn't have dared to wear this one gloved wonder. 

But Cathy could've ripped off the veil and reused the headband for a Jane Fonda workout.

But. Twinkle lights.

And in fairness to Rachel's funeral dress, which wedding to Mac was that? 

But I do agree that Cassie's was atrocious. 

I think Felicia's worst hat is not a wedding hat. 

I'm a product of my age and kind of secretly love the big meringue wedding dresses. And the psuedo Victorian ones.

The Dorian/Herb wedding was from that odd time when women would never wear white to the second wedding, but they would wear poofy sleeves and mismatched nail polish

I think the scarf was meant to convey that Dorian was happier at her fifth wedding (after Victor, Herb, Mr Sati, and her first marriage to David, this time she married Mel for the "right reasons"), she certainly looked younger

Her sixth go-round to Mitch Laurence was a bit of a hodge-podge (good dress, horrible hair), but it must be hard to find time to shop for a last minute surprise return to town marriage to the local cult leader.  I guess you know it's last minute when the huge bouquets totally clash with Dorian's color scheme of blush and bashful.

However, one of the historical crimes against good taste has got to go to Luna Moody.  Not only was it really out of character for such a "boho bride", but it also was never in style to wear a Snow White collar on a dress of velvet burnout herringbone chiffon on your wedding day

Pretty dress and headgear, but perhaps we need another thread for worst wedding photo (ie crazy eyes)?

Remember the days when we got amused by how often Erica Kane had been married?  Now, it is standard operation procedure for a female character i their 40s to have been married at least three times.

One Life to Live does it again!  Someone recently posted one of the zillion of episodes related to Samantha Vernon and Asa Buchanan's wedding and all I could look at was this thing on her head

Another view, and can someone confirm who is standing next to Dorian? (and why is she in the reception line at the wedding?)

Meanwhile Edwina is wearing Chanel (The Banner must have paid their reporters well)

Finally, Dorian makes an inexplicable costume change between the ceremony and the reception

I can't understand why Dorian and Herb were in the reception line either. Was it Herb's position in the town at the time? I think he was either DA or Mayor or something.

That is Anthony George as Dr. Will Vernon, Sam's father, next to her. I know George best from Dark Shadows.

I can never get over Wanda Webb and Asa being cousins as an ongoing character beat for a decade In this era. They very regularly refer to each other as 'cousin'.

Herb says a line at the ceremony that they can't keep their guests waiting, which I guess means that the reception was at Llanfair?

I may be all mixed up, but does this mean that they kept Olympia in one mansion, then Asa lived in another, and they had the reception at third mansion?

At least when AMC;s Cliff and Nina got married in 1908 (and Palmer's "dead" wife Daisy attended) it made more sense that it was at Palmer's home (with an outdoor area that we never saw again).

    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?  
    • I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.
