The atmosphere in Salem should have been filled with laughter, but the wedding of Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez is shaking the town.

It all began with a seemingly perfect ceremony—white flowers, champagne, heartfelt congratulations—until Leo’s secret is unexpectedly revealed at the altar.

Leo, once notorious for his deceitful schemes and dark past, tries to prove he’s changed.

But just as the priest prepares to read the vows, Javi receives an anonymous letter revealing that Leo had manipulated Gwen’s finances to conceal a massive debt.

The atmosphere at the wedding immediately descends into chaos. Javi looks at Leo with a mixture of pain and rage, while the guests rise to their feet as if witnessing an emotional explosion.

More significantly, Marlena appeared at the wedding, trying to calm Leo down. The conversation quickly escalated when Marlena bluntly stated, “You can fool Salem, but you can’t fool your own heart.” That statement brought Leo to tears—a rare glimpse of a truly vulnerable Stark.

The wedding ended in a cold, early-year rain, with Leo standing in the middle of the church, the ring falling from his finger, and Javi leaving without a word. Fans across social media called it “Salem’s most tragic wedding of the year.” But who knows—in Days of Our Lives, every farewell can be the beginning of a new tragedy.
