DAYS Elani Wedding (Photos): What Did You Think Of The Nuptials?
This week on Days of our Lives saw the first African-American couple to be married on-screen in the 54-year history of Days of our Lives. Now while Lani (Sal Stowers) and Eli (Lamon Archey) tried before in a previous ceremony, this one did the job … they are now officially husband and wife!
The ceremony was attended by Lani’s dad, Abe Reynolds (James Reynolds), her mother Tamara Price (Marily McCoo), Billy Davis Jr. as a former FBI mentor to Eli, Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) – it was her restaurant after all and she is Eli’s grandmother. Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) presided over the ceremony.
There were some unwelcome guests at the ceremony as well; leading the bride to question, are we doomed? Why does this keep happening to us everytime we tried to get hitch!
However, fate was on Lani and Eli’s side this day, as even Gabi (Camila Banus) with her antics, and a shocking arrival from Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), couldn’t rain on this day. Vivian even tried to shoot the bride, but thanks to Rafe (Galen Gering) saving the day and armed with news that her son Stefan (Brandon Barash) could be alive; he informs Viv firmly that she would be killing someone for the wrong reason, even though Vivian is in disbelief that her son is alive. Next, she is whisked out of the ceremony.
Lani still feeling rattled by all the wedding interruptus gets a sign she should marry the man she loves; when her mother, who needed to go lie down earlier, as she was feeling faint, was able to show back up just in time to restart the wedding.
During the ceremony, Eli mentions the loss of little David Abraham and the struggles they went through, but how in the end it brought then closer together. After the rings are exchanged and they are pronounced man and wife, the newlyweds “jump the broom” a wonderful tradition and a symbol of African-American heritage, where the sweeping of the broom signifies sweeping away all the bad energy. After they sweep the broom, Elani jumps over it.
In a behind-the-scenes of the wedding segment released this week on the DOOL app, Sal Stowers and Lamon Archey talk about the inclusion of the ‘jump the broom’ moment in the episode, and how they suggested the idea to DAYS Co-EP Albert Alaar, and how it was written into the episode.
So, what did you think of Lani and Eli’s wedding? Did you enjoy it? Let us know via the comment section below, but first check out this wedding photo gallery of the big day!

47th Annual Daytime Emmys Draws Over 3 Million Viewers For CBS Telecast with Return to Network TV
Friday night was a good night for daytime! With its first foray back on to network television since 2011, the Daytime Emmy kudofest, while for the first time held this year virtually, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scored very well in its timeslot.
The CBS broadcast averaged 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating. That is way up from the last time viewers saw the award show on TV when it was on cable network POP TV back in 2015 with just over 900,000 viewers for its initial broadcast.
According to TV Insider report: The first hour of the Emmys garnered 3.3 million viewers to top the hour by edging out a rerun on ABC”s Shark Tank, and then slipped to second place for the second hour with 2.8 million viewers.
These were strong numbers for Friday night, and hopefully CBS and the other major networks will now continue this, and serve up the Daytime Emmy Awards moving forward.

The ladies of CBS’s The Talk hosted the event; each virtually from their homes, in an event filled with at-home acceptance speeches and presenters, and clip packages. The show was produced by NATAS and Associated Television International
So, what do you think of the ratings performance of this year’s Daytime Emmys? Comment below.

According to a statement they made in SOD they secretly divorced a while back. Remember he has been living in Vegas doing Rock of Ages for quite sometime living in different states is hard on marriages especially in Hollywood!

Arianne and Kyle announced recently that they had divorced. When they were divorcing, they did not publicize it.
Arianne is dating Dr. Dan?!

Arianne and Kyle announced they were divorced a few weeks but had been separated for awhile.As for Greg and his wife i hope everything works out because for now they are just separated.

I think AZ & KL divorce was final in either Oct or Dec. Just saw it in SOD.

I didn’t realize that Ari and Shawn were dating?! I really like their friendship on Days. Shawn has a lot of chemistry with Ari on-air, much more than what he has with Melissa. Talk about boring. As much as I like Greg Vaughn, I find Eric very boring, too. The most excitement he’s had was when he was in the hotel room with Kristen! HA! I can’t wait until Kristen is back in Salem!

Well that is so sad— in these situations my heart always goes out to the children who ultimately lose the most when a marriage comes to an end.

Kyle Lowder has been dating his co-star from Rock of Ages in Vegas for awhile now. He “broadcasts” it all over Twitter. He is now in NYC and the co-star as well. She will be planning the same role in NYC. Don’t know this for a fact but it looks like he split up with Ariane for the co-star. Sad.

I’m shocked to hear this. You never know what’s going on in other people’s homes, but they seemed perfectly suited for one another. Neither seem like they are difficult people, and from all Greg posted, you would never believe they were having problems.
I’m sad for the couple and their kids. I wish them peace during this tough time.

Greg and his wife could think for now that it’s better that they are separated for their sakes and their kids.Plus it doesn’t sound like they are rushing to get divorced.So maybe all they need is a break and then they could get back together.However as you said we don’t know what is going on in their marriage or home.So maybe the reason behind them separating is not because they have a bad marriage but for another reason.

Oh my i hate that for Greg & Touryia but most of all the children hopefully they work out their differences best of luck to them all

I was very shocked, I would have never guessed there were problems but who knows, maybe they will work it out.

Really, these private matters are none of my business, but sorry to hear they are separating. They were a cute couple. I wish them all the best as they work through this in the best way for their children, and themselves. We all know that relationships are not easy – best wishes.

I don’t know the situation. It’s sad when there are children involved, plus Greg seems like a great guy in real life. If he were my man, I’d have a lot of trouble letting him go.

Kyle and Arianne must have been separated for a really long time. His girlfriend recently posted on his twitter that it’s been another 365 days with him.
