If you've ever asked yourself, "Why don't more wedding dresses have lapels?" Sami Brady has your answer.

(Shawn-Douglas Brady is the son of Bo Brady and Hope Williams, and Isabella Black is John Black and Marlena Evans' baby girl.) Belle probably went with a more laid-back gown since it wasn't her first trip down the aisle. (Although that didn't stop her mom, Marlena, from going all out for round two—see above.)
