On today's Days of Our Lives recap:
Steve and Kayla's Place: The duo awaken and get to sexy time. They finish up this round and Kayla says she's been feelings all kinds of sexy after finding this manuscript at the hospital. She shows Steve who wants to get started trying out all kinds of different things (Oh no).
Horton Square: Shane and Tate meet for coffee before the wedding and discuss the baseball game they attended the night before. He says he spoke with Theresa and filled her in on the latest. Tate updates his grandfather on Sophia and says he hoped he would stay around for the baby's birth.
Shane asks how Tate is feeling about everything and apologizes for not being around enough. Tate talks about the pregnancy milestones and Shane thinks he may be having second thoughts about the adoption. Tate says he hasn't changed his mind but doesn't want their child to feel abandoned. He references Eve and how her life was impacted by the adoption. Shane says these are very different circumstances and he is doing what's best for his child's future.
Brady Pub: Carrie and Belle are chatting. Carrie mentions EJ and Belle says they are still going forward. Carrie promises not to judge, and Belle admits she loves him. Just then, Will walks in and joins his aunts before they head over to the wedding. Carrie makes mention of Will's history with Paul (for those who don't know Will cheated on Sonny with Paul before anyone knew who he was).
Wedding Central: Brady and Eric set up for the big event. Eric notes it's the first time he's officiated a same sex wedding. Brady is certain he will be terrific. Brady is happy to be Paul's best man which leads him to remember his father and how much he misses him.
Eric makes mention of Philip waking up and Brady says Xander seems to be in the clear as Philip didn't implicate him. Brady switches topics and asks Eric about Nicole as he gets the feeling something is wrong. Eric says he truly has no clue if his relationship is ok.
Salem Inn – Andrew and Paul's Room: Andrew and Paul get all sexy and cute before hitting the sheets. They finish up and get to talking about their upcoming nuptials. Paul says he is a little nervous thinking about being married to an ISA agent and not knowing where he is or what he's doing. Andrew gets it, especially with John's death, and promises nothing will ever come between them.
They go over the details of the service including a video stream so Kimberly and Theresa can be there. Paul gets teary-eyed when he says he misses his dad and mother (I don't think we knew Tori died). Andrew pulls out a gift for Paul from Marlena, John's watch – something old and borrowed.
Marlena and John's Penthouse: Marlena tells Rachel what she heard her say in her sleep. She tells her granddaughter sometimes we say things in sleep we're uncomfortable saying when we're awake. She encourages Rachel to tell her what's going on but she says her mother told her not to tell. Marlena says she thinks the nightmares and tummy aches are related to the secret she's keeping. Rachel relents saying she knows who shot EJ.
Rachel provides some information about Mama Blake and wanting to keep her and Johnny safe. Marlena is rightfully confused when Rachel says Johnny shot EJ.
Wedding Central: Marlena and Rachel arrive. Eric and Brady scoot Rachel away and Marlena calls Roman, saying they need to talk after the ceremony. Everyone begins to show up for the festivities. Will, Carrie and Belle chat with Marlena and she says how glad they're all there, especially Carrie and Will.
Shane, Tate, Steve and Kayla gather when Eric says it' time to call the event to order. Just then, Paul and Andrew arrive. Kayla walks up and straightens Andrew's tie. She fawns over him and says she can't believe her little nephew is getting married. Kayla offers to be his surrogate mom in Kimberly's absence and Andrew says she was always like a mother to him.
Marlena straightens Paul's tie and says how handsome he is. He shows her the watch on his wrist and how grateful he is to be wearing it. She wants him to keep it so he can feel close to his father at all times.
Eric asks everyone to take their seats, and the grooms take their places up front. He begins the ceremony and says the first part pays homage to Paul's family in Japan. A couple drinks from the same cup, and they are united in marriage. Carrie sets it up as he describes what all each sip represents. Before they drink, Carrie tells them the words they are to repeat and pours the liquid. With that, the two complete the ritual.
Eric directs Paul and Andrew to exchange vows. Andrew explains how John was responsible for the two of them meeting (John Black Pride King!). He says no matter where he is they are always together. Andrew says he is blessed Paul chose him to walk through this life.
Paul says when he saw Andrew it was love at first sight. He references his mother saying, 'few words speak truth.' Paul says he loves Andrew which is his truth and his vow. He says Andrew knows him like no other, except his dad. Paul says his father was an incurable romantic who told him not to give up on love. He gave him the courage to trust his own heart and take a leap with Andrew.
Eric presents the official vows and Andrew and Paul recite them. They each grab their rings and put them on each other's fingers. Eric then pronounces them married and they hug… (no kiss?).
Endings
Brady gives a funny toast saying he was the cool cat in the family when Paul came in and stole his thunder. He says everyone was enamored by Paul, especially their father. Brady says he is proud to be his best man and prouder to be his brother.
Shane steps up and says how he and Andrew were separated for most of his life but still decided to follow in his footsteps. He wants to make it crystal clear that his son is his pride and joy. A stellar ISA agent and a stellar human being. He is thrilled he found someone just as stellar to share his life. He turns to Paul and says he's gained another father in him.
Marlena chats with Tate and asks about Rachel. He thinks the tummy ache has passed and all is looking good, as Brady listens in. Carrie walks up and says she's headed out. Her flight is later, but she wants to see her dad who is stuck at the pub. Marlena tears up saying how nice it has been to have her there. With that, they embrace (Don't go, Carrie!).
Kayla asks Paul and Andrew about their honeymoon. The two say they've made no decisions, as yet. Shane tells Paul he wants to chat with him after they return about him joining the ISA. He and Andrew shouldn't be apart and there is job awaiting him in DC.
Andrew and Paul toast to all their guests. Marlena thanks them for not postponing the nuptials as they all needed a celebration to look forward to. They look up and Rachel points out the rainbow arched over the wedding party.
