What a Fabulous Wedding! it doesn't get any Better than this!♥️ 30 Million Viewers & i am So Happy i was one of them😉

[@tragicprincess8414]

Me too and my whole family dropped everything to attend.

[@joydunn2109]

Me too!

[@irmacavazos8186]

Me too! I was raising a family and now I have great grands! Love it!

[@monicajones5943]

My Grandmother had cancer, when I was in high school. She started watching GH with me. We enjoyed watching the Luke and Laura wedding.

[@sussezq]

Thanks for sharing that memory with us. Yeah, this isn't just about LnL but our shared experiences around them and this era.

[@monicajones5943]

@@sussezq You Bet👍

[@tcardinal1612]

Sometimes I wonder if there ever would have been a Helena Cassadine if Elizabeth Taylor didn't insist on being on the show. The part was created especially for her. Tristan Rogers in an interview, "Originally the LnL wedding was planned for Spring of '82. It was moved up and rushed to film it to accommodate HER schedule."

[@maryhlad5277]

To see Lee, & Gail give Luke & Laura their blessing brought tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine how hard it was for them, but Lee, & Gail were very gracious.

[@rickstraus9725]

35yrs ago.....this day in my memory forever! The greatest love story EVER. I love and thank them so much as I do you, Suss. Jamaica

[@suemcgee612]

I love how it was so realistic the way they made their way through the crowd of people, thanking everyone for coming. Those little touches are what made it just the BEST.

[@karlamazzola8898]

I love how maternal Aunt Ruby was towards Laura, she always knew that Laura ALWAYS had Luke's heart, no matter what....

[@maryhlad5277]

Aunt Ruby raised Luke & Bobbi. Her brothel wasn’t actually conventional but Aunt Ruby gave them a home.

[@sonyab1974]

Luke's dream came true. He married the love of his life. His soulmate. :) YAY! :)

[@lisacarman167]

Shame the later writers tore this couple apart. Wish they could bring Luke back from the dead to reconnect with Laura one last time.

This day is burnt in my memory forever. I treasure everyone of these clips and so glad to see younger generations watching! Ms. Francis and Mr. Geary are the very best ever.....Happy Anniversary Luke and Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sussezq]

They certainly are the best... and nobody should have to miss it because of the year they happen to be born! ;-)

[@7bear]

I can totally understand why 30 million watched this Wedding - it's so beautiful :) LOVE it in 2016 ;)

[@jbird4754]

And I love it in 2020! I’m 58 and I’d never watched FH when I was younger!!!! My family was stuck on Peyton Place, Another World, The Bold and the beautiful and I’ve forgotten which other one.... with Victor, Nicky, Ashley, etc... crazy🤪🤪🤪🤪. But this?!?!?! Is BY FAR the very best. I lost interest when their children got older though. I didn’t like the storyline and the fact that the children were rude to their parents and why in Hell have Luke tell his kids about the “not-really-rape”?!?! You don’t demean an actor of his stature!!! But I’m no Monty. 🤷‍♀️

[@kaylabryant3074]

Thank you for posting ALL of these clips. It is heart warming to see these old clips when Soaps were in their prime. LnL were married by the time I can remember seeing them in the 90's. So it's great to be able to watch how it all came to be instead of just reading. Soaps are special to me because it was time I shared with my mom :) GH today can at times be frustrating to me. For the sake of the fans, I hope that when GH does come to a close they give LnL closure together!

[@sussezq]

+Kayla Bryant It would only be right!!

[@katwernery6505]

Kayla Bryant I too watched General Hospital in the late 80s and the 90s with my mum. She always told me about how great the duo of Luke and Laura were, and what a pair Luke and Robert were. It has been amazing to get to see all these old clips, I am very grateful that they are out here for all of us to see and enjoy!!!!

[@tragicprincess8414]

This wedding looks so real and the actors so natural. Just as I remember it. You can watch it over and over and never see a false moment.

[@sussezq]

Yep as good today as it ever was. Actually probably better. We took at least decent TV for granted. Now so much of it is lousy that the efforts put into this daytime drama during this time frame seem almost astounding. Incredible entertainment!

[@tragicprincess8414]

@@sussezq Yes, as they say, you don't miss your water til the well runs dry. Now we realize even more. If that's possible, how good it all was.

[@monicajones5943]

Today is November 16th. Its been 39 years, since Luke and Laura wed. So far no acknowledgement in today's episode.

[@52jamaica]

When they ran down the red carpet after their vows.....couldn't help but say ....the best of Luke & Laura is when they are on the run to the next adventure!!! This once in a lifetime love story can Not be over!!!

[@debrahubbard763]

Love Luke's little fist bump, it's real, it's really real!

[@betsykeller9096]

The pause when Laura says "my lawful wedded husband" at about 2:25 ish is nicely done. We must remember that it is only lawful as long as Scotty doesn't contest it! That must be in the back of the character's mind.

[@maryhlad5277]

It did. After Scotty caught the bridal bouquet, and He and Luke got into the fist fight, in which Luke KO’d Scotty, when Scotty said he was going to contest the divorce, Luke said, “LIKE HELL YOU ARE!!!”

[@margaretosburn9193]

I Agree!!

[@laurietijerina3816]

It was like a royal wedding! I watched it back then. She looked so beautiful like a princess.

[@judecurry5535]

Tony Geary and Genie Francis were so young and the BEST at everything acting chemistry they made it all look so real! Genie was only 17 here I believe. Amazing!!

Another year goes by without them being together*shrug*...but Happy 30th to all of us who will NEVER let it die;)

[@sonyab1974]

It's to bad Hutch couldn't be there. :( He would just love the wedding!

[@beasleybrother1]

Think that the Elizabeth Taylor appearance, along with the incredible Luke/Laura story is why this attracted 30 million viewers

[@mjj1434]

One of the extras in a beige suit , in the crowd scenes , was Drake Hogestyn, “Roman Brady/John Black, ” on “Days.” She was Diana Colvile .

[@kyemerriott4837]

susssezq can we pay you for all your work on this? You are a treasure

[@Zeddiebgirl13]

Fabulous,just fabulous!

[@Lukejunkie]

At the celebration of LnL's "remarriage," I remember that Jackie Zeman said the way Tony and Genie looked this day was forever etched in her memory. She said Tony was so handsome and Genie was so beautiful. They really were, and naive me thought they would be together forever as LnL.

[@suemcgee612]

Lukejunkie don't feel bad. I also joined you in that naïveté.

[@MsChemicalEngineer]

Who didn’t? When you got caught up you forgot briefly it was just a show!

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

They're still together! Those writers were liars! Lol..

[@tiffanywaldon4875]

@@sandyjuntunen4088 ​​⁠ Yes! GH writers have a bad habit of dishonoring the love stories of their super couples with the dumb stuff they come up with to break them up. They did it with Luke & Laura, Sonny & Brenda, and Frisco & Felicia.

[@vincentsolyak5403]

What can I say? THE wedding all daytime soap operas wished they could’ve at least equaled much less surpassed has arrived 43 years ago…I had just started watching GH back when they were on the island fighting off the mad scientist Mikos Cassadine. I was 13 years old st the time watching it after school. The beautiful Laura and Tiffany catching my gaze in early puberty. Glad I stuck around faithful to the show for a few years after that. But why did they have Luke and Laura break up? Should’ve never have happened. Period.

[@cyberchicchick513]

38 years ago today - November 16, 1981, seems like only yesterday to me. Happy wedding anniversary, Luke and Laura! I'm gonna love you, Together forever and ever. Amen. ❤💞💖💝

[@gerardfonz]

40th coming this November. OMG. But life is forever so who cares about time?

[@cyberchicchick513]

@@gerardfonz It would be so awesome if ABC GH could bring them back together in the Fall '21!!👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️💐🥂💒😍🤩💞😘💌

[@monicajones5943]

This ain't the same couple that divorced. Me and my Grandmother would have bet our favourite candy bars that they would always be married. If I had known they would break up, I could have tried out for cheerleader. I could have been more sociable. Everything was predicated on LNL...I loved every moment watching with my Grandmother.

[@sussezq]

Mr. Geary's hair is naturally straight. This was a perm specifically for the role of Luke. He started the first scenes with straight hair.

[@kevinboone8275]

Why doesn’t ABC take the time to re-air this since there showing reruns.

[@karenoneal4660]

It’s just amazing that GH had all these actors together at one time and in one area. Had any show ever accomplished such a feat since then?! It must have cost a pretty penny!!

[@MrsPenni-fd7ny]

I have the goofiest grin on my face after they’ve been announced husband and wife 😂😂😊😊

[@rhda8386]

Just made this my featured video for the week; if nuGH is not going to honor LnL's 30th anniversary, I think we, the fans, ought to make sure we're bringing it to people's attention :-)

[@TheCmacneil]

Such a beautiful story!

[@MsMabeno]

Is that Gloria Monty wearing blue and saying the wedding made her cry? If so, that's must have been a wonderful day for her. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see your creations come to life in such a marvelous way?

[@sussezq]

I don't believe she had a line she was in sunglasses at 7:24.

[@dottesen61]

Lee and Gail were so gracious...remarkable love of community!

[@maryhlad5277]

I agree. To see Laura, their ex-daughter-in-law, marry Luke was probably hard for them, but I’m glad Lee, & Gail came around. The only thing left to do was make Scotty see the light.

[@cococandykiss]

Back in the 80s, 90% of African Americans had Luke's hairstyle. We called it a "Gheri-Curl." It was very popular! Now, not so much...lol

[@TinkerBTea]

It made a come back recently on the 20s.

[@dlwoods7]

Gloria Monty came to the wedding? I am way SO Impressed! I am so glad she did that. Who would have thunk it... that we would be sharing these scenes again almost 30 years later??

Oh Sus, you beat me to it. I was going to mention that Gloria was in the crowd.

[@laminage]

In 1981, another Soap Couple got Married in The UK named Ken Barlow & Diedre Ann Langton, on Britian's Longest Running Soap Opera Coronation Street. They were married by a Real Life Minister The Reverend Topping A Celebrity Minister and folks thought they were actually married. Sadly Anne Kirkbride died of Cancer in 2014.

[@sussezq]

Yes, and that's an understatement!

[@tinabaker70]

😁 Beautiful Day 🥰❣

[@mjj1434]

“Troth” it means Faith and loyalty, my solemn agreement. I remember looking it up in the dictionary. I am surprised that Laura didn’t have a ring for Luke

[@monicajones5943]

I almost didn't recognize Georgia and Mrs Grant.

[@sussezq]

Is it still NOT working???

[@sussezq]

Accidentallly removed your post.. maybe you were just trying to watch it before it was completley posted?!!? I can watch it fine here.

[@angelicabond8724]

A shame they kept putting in scenes with the Cassadine guy and whats her name. Should have just been the wedding.

[@jimmywaynegirl]

@sussezq Really, that's very interesting, Luke an angel!lol!

[@karlamazzola8898]

When I first watched this....[at 12yrs] I remember that I was highly annoyed when they would leave the Wedding for 1 second, for the stupid Cassidine stuff!!!! Even today, I kinda know why they had to but , but it still bugs me!!!!

[@003rere]

Missed her years ago

[@Zeddiebgirl13]

Can't find Gloria in the crowd of well wishes..any hints?

[@2006bbbb1]

At 7:22, she has sunglasses on and is wearing a red dress. If you pause it at 7:22, her face will be between the back of Luke's head and the back of Laura's head.

[@gerardfonz]

Is he calling Victor in his jail cell? What's funny is Victor becomes the head of the WSB in the pseudo post 96+ joke called GH.

[@eddiecater1429]

I know that was hard for Lee & Gail

[@sdavis5001]

Maybe she couldn't drop the Baldwin for legal reasons. Idk, just guessing.. And Genie is FASCINATING at tears at a drop of a second.. Awesome. Her daytime emmy came wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too late.....but glad she finally got it.

[@sonyab1974]

What's wrong Luke? You nervous? You think she was going to say no and change her mind? :) Priest: By the power invested in me by the authority of the state of NY. I pronounce that they are husband and wife. YAY! She is no longer Laura Baldwin! :) I'm still crying! :) At 4:05 Luke shows his excitement! :) At 5:04 what did Luke mean when he said I got them alright didn't I? Luke: Oh hello. Congratulations. ROFL! Oh Luke. :)

[@2006bbbb1]

Luke's talking about getting the words in the ceremony all right, in response to Ruby.

[@sussezq]

Yep, so did I.

Me too Serena!!!

[@Indepndentwmn]

Coco candy kiss I beg to differ with you. About 40 percent had that hairstyle.. besides I thought Tony Geary had naturally curly hair..

[@2006bbbb1]

I think the permed hair was to give Luke a softer, more likeable look, and I think they were right. I felt like it wasn't Luke anymore when he cut the hair in 1997.
