Five Things That Happened On August 18 In Soap History

In 1981, Kelly Nelson (John Wesley Shipp) and Morgan Richards (Kristen Vigard) wed on Guiding Light. The ceremony took place at an outdoor spot near and dear to the couple's hearts, Laurel Falls. The lovebirds had a somewhat rocky road to the altar, thanks in no small part to the machinations of Nola Reardon, who wanted Kelly for herself and, after drugging him, convinced him that they had slept together and that the baby she was carrying was his (it was not). Once Nola's scheme came to light, Kelly and Morgan happily exchanged vows.
