“We don’t have much time,” whispered the bride as her groom approached her hospital bedside in 2018. How right she was. “Hevon” was shot to hell when a car accident not only killed the couple’s unborn child but left its mother with mere minutes to remarry the one man that she’d ever truly love.
After learning that his girlfriend was dying, the original Sally Spectra’s son kept her prognosis a secret while rushing to take her as his bride. He “I did” it, too — in the nick of time. Becky collapsed at the wedding and made him a widower the same day he became a husband.
Just two years after the Joneses’ 1985 wedding, the missus succumbed to injuries sustained when she was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Before she did, however, she used her dying breath to make a last request of her beloved: “I want you to go on living.”
“Aw, craps!” thought these sparring partners after they drunkenly got hitched in Vegas. But they’d actually hit the jackpot — they were made for each other. If only they’d been made…you know, for keeps. Shortly after the Baldwins retied the knot in 1993, Dominique died in her favorite place: Scotty’s arms.
In 2019, the DiMeras’ young marriage of convenience had actually started to get pretty darned convenient; that’ll happen when you erase the line between love and hate. Alas, Vivian’s son took a bullet intended for her, breaking Gabi’s heart and freeing up his own for Julie.
It’s enough to drive ya to drink! The recovering alcoholics’ wedding cake had scarcely begun to get stale in 2003 when their union was busted by a chandelier that totally Phantom of the Opera’d the missus (who, sadly, had already played her one Come Back From the Dead card).
Timing is everything — and in 1996, Port Charles’ Teflon don had nothing. He’d just found out that wife of convenience Lily was pregnant and decided to give their barely-begun marriage a real go — sorry, Brenda — when her mobster father planted a car bomb that blew up both his and Sonny’s children.
Katherine’s archenemy can always say that ha! She got the guy in the end. Unfortunately, “in the end” was when she got him, too. Only after Kay had tried to make roadkill of herself and her former husband in 1975 did he use his dying breath to exchange vows with his much-younger babymama.
These two took “tragic” to a whole other level in 1983. After the hooker with a heart of gold took a bullet for the undercover detective — now that’s love! — she passed away before he could upgrade with a wedding band the engagement ring that he’d slipped on her finger.
With a brain tumor sending sand ever faster through the hourglass for Will, he hastily promised his ex-husband however many days he had left. Which turned out to be…erm, a lot. Thanks to Rolf’s miracle cure — which really should’ve gotten the couple booted from this list! — Sonny still only had to mourn his better half once. So far.
