September 8, 1997
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 info on 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. They recited these vows
Reception: Kate Kiriakis' 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 the Salem Inn. 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.
Status: The pair is still married.
Carrie: "I, Carrie, take you, Austin, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you and cherish you all the days of my life."
The Exchanging of the Rings
Austin: "Carrie, take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity - in the name of the Father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit."
