In 1984, Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) eloped with Mike Roy (Hugo Napier) on All My Children. The marriage proved invalid because as it turned out, the man Erica had married earlier in the year, Adam Chandler, was not actually dead — he had faked his demise to test her loyalty, as he suspected that she was still in love with Mike.

In 1984, supercouple Frisco Jones (Jack Wagner) and Felicia Cummings (Kristina Wagner) shared their first kiss. Felicia was sour with Frisco, who refused to give her back her ring, which he had purchased at an auction. Their bickering and struggle over the ring led to them sharing an impromptu kiss, after which Felicia opened up to Frisco about her past and Aztec heritage. The duo wound up tying the knot for the first time in 1986 and went on to welcome two daughters, Maxie and Georgie.

In 1987, Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) wed on General Hospital. The wedding took place in a church, with Duke wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and Anna wore a gorgeous gown constructed of satin and lace, along with a brooch (one that in real life was a family heirloom belonging to Ian Buchanan). Bagpipers and a Scottish officiant completed the nods to Duke’s heritage. Anna was escorted down the aisle by her first husband, Robert, while the wedding party included Sean Donely, Tiffany Hill, Tony Jones and Felicia Jones. While saying his vows, Duke got choked up, telling Anna, “I love Robin [her daughter] as sincerely as I love you,” and declared them “my very special family.” “I pledge you my eternal love,” she replied, caressing his cheek as he slipped the ring on her finger.
