  2. Thanks for including Bo and Carly! Such a beautiful and unique wedding. Carly is sorely missed on Days of Our Lives.

  3. The wedding for Bo and Carly blows any wedding Days has ever had on the show! Bo and Carly shared such a unique and spiritual love that they NEVER shared with anyone else. They are surely missed and I miss Crystal. The show is not the same!
