I didn't want to constantly post about every episode of Days while I watch it, but seriously, I'm like 5 minute in and the snark is too much not to share....
First, of all, if Justin and Adrienne are still at Victor's house, they are beyond late for Lani and Eli's wedding. Do either of them even know them? I haven't watched in a while, but apart from Justin being a lawyer and Lani and Eli being in law enforcement, how do these paths cross? I mean, I get Eli's a Horton, but Just and Adrienne are only peripherally connected with the Horton family.
Sonny and Will and dicks - they see someone has their phone up to record the ceremony and instead of walking around behind her, they walk right in front of her and the phone.
Way to spoil the big news about Jack and Jennifer's big news to Adrienne before Jack and Jen have a chance to tell them, Justin.
"If anyone has any reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Jack: "I've never understood this part of this ceremony."
Neither do I, but more so I don't understand why it's actually still part of this ceremony, when hardly anyone if even anyone still says that at weddings; because why would you?
Although, considering that Jack appears to be in the front row and whispering loudly, it's kind of surprising Marlena didn't call on him like a kid misbehaving in class.
"Jack, is there something you want to share with the rest of us?"
I also get the feel that Jen would be the sort to raise her hand and blurt out what Jack was talking about....
"Wait, there's something I need to say."
If it's anything other than, "Now!" activating an elaborate plan involving all of the guests bum rushing Gabi, grabbing her phone and hauling her ass off to jail, I'm not interested. That's literally the only acceptable way to salvage such a stupid story.
Or, you know, blather on, pleading with the sociopath you've already tried fruitlessly to reason with; I'm sure either one will work....
Man, Justin and Adrienne don't appear to be even trying to make that wedding now. How good can that champagne be? Can't it wait until some other time? I'm starting to think Justin and Adrienne are supposed to be the best man and Matron of Honor, explaining why Eli and Lani are conspicuously without either. The alternative is that neither of them have friends that the other hasn't previously slept with; which come to think of it is probably and equally likely possibility.
And you know what, if I was Gabi and batshit crazy, making these asinine demands about breaking Eli's heart and video taping it, I think I'd go full tilt and also demand to be your maid of honor so I can get an unobstructed view of the whole thing. Real upclose and personal, so you can make out the pours on Eli's face as tears stream down his cheek. Plus, that way inconsiderate guests can't walk right in front of your shot either. Freakin' Will and Sonny.
At this point the Salem Deeds office should just have a specialty take "take-a-number" devices made and they can keep in the lobby, that dispenses marriage certificates. And then they can keep a shredder next to it for when the wedding is a bust.
Better yet, just get a blank one and laminate it, so people can use a dry erase marker.
Yeah, no, having a random, terse interaction with one of the guests isn't out of the ordinary at all. I mean, for Salem it's really not, but seriously, not explaining or providing any context to that to anyone just makes Lani a flipping moron.
Wait, what? Gabi shouts "No! Very big mistake!" and people are shouting at Lani about what she's doing? Also, how is Lani, a trained cop, having so much difficulty subduing Gabi? Is it the dress that's throwing her off?
If she was going to go it alone, her better bet might have been the fake out, making it look like she was walking out and as she came down the aisle, leap on Gabi and grab the phone.
Oh, for fuck sake, a goddamn fantasy sequence?? Augh, it's been so long since I watched this show, I forgot they did those things.....
What is it with these characters and having sex on couches in middle of a living room shared with small army of friends and family and people you barely like? For that matter, does it not occur to them that if they're doing this (in somebody else's house) that anyone else in the house, like the couple that actually owns it, might have done it there too?
I'm not sure which unnerves me more, Justin and Adrienne about to have sex on the couch; or by around about association the implication that Maggie and Victor have probably had sex on that couch too, to say nothing of the other past or present residence at the Kiriakis mansion. What's worse is the shot of the ceramic angels....watching....always watching.
Incidentally, sharing that mental picture with all of you helps.....
I mean, why should Xander stick around if he doesn't want to? Why does he have to wait for the all clear to pack it in? It's not jury duty or something where you have to get the okay to be dismissed. Although suggesting that they should be serving drinks in front of Maggie seems perhaps a little crass.
He also has a point, what should the protocol be if the bride walks out in the middle of the ceremony? Maybe an extension of the "15 minute rule," from school; where if the teacher doesn't show up after 15 minutes, students get to leave. If the Bride doesn't return after 15 minutes, guests get to leave - and they take a present on he way out. Not necessarily their, just grab whichever as sort of a consolation prize; then head over to the reception hall for lunch, because the food's been cooked and paid for, so no sense letting it go to waste.....
Man, this would be the wrong time for Sonny to facetime his mom and dad....
So, cards on the table, I'm pretty white, seriously, Justin and Adrienne having sex without removing any of their dress clothes, or their clothes even look so much as rumpled is the whitest white thing to white. That is, I would imagine, how a certain US VP has sex. And now that imagine is in your head. Your welcome.
Augh, you left your phone on the couch, do you have any idea what's been done on that couch? Oh, yeah, you do, because you're the ones that did that. You're gonna want to get that steam cleaned - the phone and the couch....
Oh jeez, they're not going to have Jack and Jen have an impromtu wedding, since they have the license, are they? Is that why they're making a big deal about Marlena sticking around and the guests staying? And then Adrienne and Justin show up and they're going to decide to have a double wedding just to make piggybacking on someone else's failed wedding more tacky...
I hope Jack doesn't know why Justin and Adrienne are running late....
"Well, if it isn't the jerk who tried to shoot me at my own wedding."
Man, if I had a nickel.....
"What does you running out on me have to do with Gabi?"
The way I see it, you've got two options, tell him the truth; or tell him that you and Gabi have been having an affair and she's been begging you to run away with her; and call her bluff by seeing which story she backs up. Go big or go home.
"I just don't love you enough to marry you!"
I suppose, from a certain perspective, that might be true. Other characters, some might call them villains, would probably have been willing to step over Julie's unresponsive body if it laid in the middle of the aisle, in order to marry someone they "loved" so much - so in an extreme sense, there might be something to be said about "conditional" love....
Seriously Jack, you honestly think Justin and Adrienne decided to slip off and get married while their son is busy at someone else's wedding?
This song has been on too long, that I actually had to take a second try remember which of the male characters were Marlena's son....
Abe: "Lani? Lani? LANI?!"
