July 2, 1991
Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton were the epitome of "opposites attract." Jack was always considered a self-centered and egotistical manipulator until he met the sweet and naive Jennifer. She managed to bring out the best in him time and time again. Their relationship began while they were both working for The Spectator and continued through many trials and tribulations, including Jennifer's rape by Lawrence Alamain. Many moons passed before Jennifer was finally able to tear down the walls Jack had built up for himself, but ultimately, love conquered all.
Jennifer decided to take Lawrence to trial for his crime, and Jack stood by her the entire time. After Lawrence confessed and the trial was over, Jack proposed to Jennifer outside the courtroom. Unbeknownst to Jack, his proposal was taped and televised to every local news station, leading to an extended invitation to the entire town of Salem!
In a case of extreme wedding jitters, Jack came down with laryngitis and completely lost his voice. The wedding was set to take place in an arena that would be hosting a Wild West show immediately after. In a case of mistaken identity, Jack was erroneously taken to be Wild Bill Mahoney, a stuntman with a habit for not showing up timely to events. Unable to talk, he was locked up until the show was ready to begin. Just as Jennifer was preparing to call the whole thing off, Jack managed to escape and the wedding took place.
One would think that with everything Jack and Jennifer went through their love would have lasted forever. Alas, it was not meant be. When Jack realized that their child, Abigail, became ill because of his anti-ecological business dealings, he left town and divorced Jennifer.
Eventually, Jack returned to Salem and he and Jennifer were reunited.
