Over the last fifty-nine years there have been a number of iconic weddings on the hit Peacock soap opera Days of Our Lives. Now on the anniversary of one of those memorable moments, Deidre Hall <\/strong>is honoring the memory with her fans.<\/p>\n Hall took to Instagram on the anniversary of Marlena\u2019s wedding to, whom she believed to be, Roman Brady (Drake Hogestyn<\/strong>) back in 1986. The actress shared the scene of one of Daytime\u2019s most emotional weddings, along with the caption, \u201cI simply blinked and it was 39 years later. It still feels magical. #days<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n For those that didn\u2019t watch the original storyline, or want a refresher, this wedding was the culmination of nearly three years worth of story as Marlena\u2019s husband Roman Brady (Wayne Northrop) was tragically \u2018killed\u2019 off, after a clifftop battle with arch enemy Stefano Dimera (Joseph Moscolo). Years later \u2018The Pawn\u2019 (Hogestyn) and viewers watched the story unfold, ultimately revealing that The Pawn was actually Roman, or so viewers were led to believe. All leading to the iconic wedding in 1986 that helped cement the pairing as one of Days most iconic super couples. Years after the wedding it is revealed that Hogestyn\u2019s interpretation of Roman was not the \u2018real\u2019 Roman Brady and he was actually John Black, but that\u2019s a story for a different day.<\/p>\n Back on Instagram<\/a>, Hall\u2019s co-stars shared their support for the actress in the comments, with Martha Madison<\/strong> (who plays Hall\u2019s on-screen daughter Belle) saying, \u201cAnd my love of daytime TV began\u2026. #icons<\/a> \u2764\ufe0f\u201d Greg Rikaart<\/strong> (Leo) added, \u201cIncredible. \u2764\ufe0f\u201d While Linsey Godfrey <\/strong>shared, \u201cWhat a pair of absolute babes \u2665\ufe0f\u2728\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/a><\/strong>\ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n The wedding continues to be memorable for fans, who also came to share their memories of the moment, one user wrote, \u201cI watched it live. Those of us who loved Roman couldn\u2019t believe we\u2019d love this new guy so much\u2026 until Drake came in. I love everything you built together and I miss your partner so much. \u2764\ufe0f\u201d With a second user sharing, \u201cI remember watching this back in 1986. I loved the entire storyline of searching for John Black\u2019s identity leading up to Marlena discovering he was Roman. The storylines in the eighties were so awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n This is not the first time Hall has referenced this iconic wedding. The actress was interviewed by TV Source Magazine<\/a> in 2022 and when asked which of her weddings had been her favorite the fan favorite explained, \u201cI think it might have been the first wedding with John [then Roman] in 1986. I\u2019m never quite sure because there have been rather a few. It is when Marlena married John in the church.<\/p>\n Lee Smith<\/strong> designed an extraordinary headpiece, we didn\u2019t want a veil because it wasn\u2019t quite appropriate to have one, but it had these amazing cut out sleeves with cut outs on the side with a lovely little train. I just adored it.\u201d<\/p>\n Days of our Lives made the historic move leaving NBC, where it was the network\u2019s longest running soap opera, to exclusively stream on Peacock in 2022. Since then, Hall celebrated her 5,000th episode on the Daytime Emmy Award winning soap opera, and continues to be a vital part of the fabric of Days of Our Lives.<\/p>\n Days of Our Lives streams weekdays on Peacock.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Aug 23, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
