Ready, Mommy?
Yes, I am.
Daddy?
Ready to marry the most beautiful woman on the planet?
I am so ready I can barely see straight.
[light laughs]
Welcome to the wedding of the year.
HOPE: Oh! The year?
-The century. -[laughter]
The wedding of my parents, Hope Logan
and Liam Spencer.
I should have been invited like everyone else in the family.
This would have been a perfect opportunity
to show everyone
that Deacon and I are back together
and that we are--are stronger than ever.
But no, Hope...
Hope wasn't gonna allow that to happen.
Do you how-- how frustrating this is?
How painful?
This isn't an ideal situation.
But this is her wedding.
She's allowed to choose who attends.
If you want to talk to her about it, please wait...
until you've calmed down a bit, just...
give it a beat.
Because crashing that wedding would be a...
crazy thing to do.
[thump]
Crazy.
Is that your professional opinion?
You think I'm crazy?
Kelly must have tried on a dozen dresses
before she landed on this one.
-It was crazy. -Oh, this one? Aw...
-It's perfect! -I know.
Daughter of the groom dress. Love it.
I know. I'm sure she's having a great time right now.
I think everyone's having a great time.
But then Bill's gonna stand up and say something,
-and that's the end of that. -Okay. I completely understand
why Brooke gave you a pass. If you were there right now,
you would be butting heads with Bill.
-What? What am I? -Yes, you would!
I'm a grown-up. I wouldn't do that.
I'm not gonna, "Hey, I'm gonna come at you like that--"
No, it's not--I just don't feel like celebrating like--
No, I-I get it. I get it.
Yeah, you're concerned about Granddad. I know.
You've done that before, you try to do the right thing,
and it just...
all blows up in your face.
♪ ♪
I didn't call you crazy.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm...
I guess I'm just ultra-sensitive today
knowing that...
Deacon is with his family and I was not included.
Well, I'm glad you're talking with me
and not acting on... any impulses.
Oh, you know, I'm...
Thank you. I-I appreciate... you talking to me.
I-I've always appreciated your advice
and everything that you've done for Deacon and me.
Just be the best version of yourself, Sheila.
A good person.
And things will...
-turn around for you. -Yeah, I certainly hope so.
But even if his family doesn't accept me...
I finally have it.
I found it. I found love, Taylor.
I found true love with Deacon.
You've probably noticed this isn't exactly
a normal wedding.
A little kid...
pre...
[light laughter]
-[whispers] Presiding. -Presiding.
But that's kind of the point,
because my parents aren't your typical bride and groom.
They can't just have a typical boring wedding.
Oh, definitely not.
So this is gonna be more of a party, okay,
where we all celebrate my parents
and tell them how super excited we are they're getting married.
Beginning with me. I love you both.
I love our family.
Thank you for putting it back together.

I was so convinced I was doing the right thing.
I never even asked Dad.
How do you not ask? How do you--I mean,
together we can maybe meet in the middle somewhere.
I know.
-[phone rings] -I'm sorry, Dad.
Thanks.
Hey, Charlie, what's going on?
Oh, okay.
No, no--yeah, okay, Charlie.
I got it. Thank you.
What is it?
My dad is in the building.
So what are you gonna do?
I guess I should be going.
Home, I hope?
Thank you.
Really, thank you for everything that you've done and...
saving my marriage.
You're giving me credit that I don't deserve.
Well, I respectfully disagree.
And I...respectfully need to ask something
before you go.
Please don't pop in like this again.
Unexpected.
I mean, I wouldn't wanna be in the middle of a session
and you come knocking.
This is supposed to be a safe, private place
for my patients.
I-I would never...
interrupt one of your sessions.
Okay.
Just thought it needed to be said.
Okay, well, that's fine.
I think this needs to be said too,
and I know that you don't really want to accept it, but...
Thank you for everything that you've done for Deacon and me.
He really does value your relationship.
It's very special to him, and I value it too.
Appreciate all of your support.
Don't let me down.

No one has ever looked better on a runway.
I know a model or two who might have me beat.
No designer has ever looked better on a runway.
Ridge, I didn't know you'd be here, or, uh,
or I, uh...
Why aren't you at the wedding?
'Cause I needed to come here.
I wanted to come to the building, to...
Forrester.
DEACON: I think the first thing I wanna say is thank you.
Thank you for our amazing officiant, and Beth,
thank you so much for including me in the lineup.
Father of the bride has to give his daughter away.
Just remember what I said about keeping this brief.
-Yes, yes, um...[chuckles] -[laughter]
You know, Beth asked me to give Hope away.
But really, what I'm giving is my blessing.
I'm enormously proud of both of you,
and I'm not alone. I mean, look around.
Look at all of us gathered here.
It fills my heart to have your brother here
and your son.
Your charming, precocious daughter.
We're all here
because we are invested in your future
and we wanna wish you a lifetime of happiness.
[soft, emotional music plays]
Oh! [laughing] Good!
-A friendly face! -Oh, were you expecting
-the opposite? -Oh, you know what?
-Sheila was just here. -Oh, she was?
What--what did she want?
To vent about not being invited to Hope and Liam's wedding.
Are you kidding?
God, she is so delusional.
Well, you probably wanna know there's someone else
that isn't at the wedding.
Dad. He doesn't wanna deal with Bill.
I don't blame him.
Yeah, I don't blame him either,
but there's another reason he doesn't wanna be there.
He's concerned about Granddad.
Look, if you came here to work, I can get outta your hair.
I came here to see you. Heard you were in the building.
Does that upset you?
Am I upset that you're in the house that you built?
No, I'm not.
Well, I appreciate you saying that.
How you doing?
It's too soon for me to answer that just yet.
-Listen, Dad, this-- -Ridge, you don't have to
-say anything, you know-- -No, I do have to say something.
I don't think you realize how much you mean to me.
It stunned me to hear that maybe
you thought that I didn't respect you.
Are you nuts? I respect you more than anybody else in the world.
And not just as a man or a designer, but...
yes, you gave me needle and thread.
You gave me a design board
and you taught me how this whole business works.
But more than that, you gave me the tools
to face anything.
Thank you.
I'd be nothing without you.
Now these three remain...
faith,
hope,
and love.
But the most important of these is love...
something that I know you two are drowning in.

I've never been more certain of my sister's happiness...
and of her future.
[mouthing] Thank you.
I'm going to read something from George Eliot.
"What greater thing is there for two human souls
"to feel like they're joined for life,
"to strengthen each other in all labor,
[emotionally] "to rest in each other in all sorrow,
"and to minister each other in all pain.
"To share with each other in all gladness,
"to be one with each other
in the silent, unspoken memories."
"I give you my hand.
"I give you my love, more precious than money.
"I give you myself before preaching or law;
"Will you give me yourself?
"Will you travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"
And we're all sticking by you.
This day isn't just about the two of you reuniting.
It's about all of us...
being here in support of you.
The Logans and the Spencers,
one family, united.
I know you'll take care of my niece.
Love and cherish her.
[mouthing] Thank you.
[soft, stirring music plays]
Concerned about your grandfather?
Because of the retirement party?
Oh, you heard.
Yeah, I thought Ridge was just looking out for Eric,
thinking that he was doing something positive.
Well, of course.
But he is concerned about Granddad.
His health.
Wants him to live a good life
in the time he has left.
But the way Granddad reacted, it was...it wasn't good.
I wonder if your father's having second thoughts
about Eric retiring.
RIDGE: Now, about this party.
It was never meant to be disrespectful.
I was concerned about your health...
and I thought--I think that throwing you into this,
it's just gonna be too much, it's gonna end up
like it did before.
I just want you to live.
I want you to be here forever.
And I...
I thought retirement would just be icing on the cake.
A cake that, by the way,
Brooke and I pretty much finished off.
We're partners.
And I will be your partner as long as you'll have me.
BILL: Liam,
you are the person that I
look up to and...
admire the most.
I'm just so proud to be your dad.
Welcome back to the Spencer family.
And, uh...
congratulations to both of you.
[mouthing] Thank you.
Well...
I am extremely proud of you too.
I'm proud of the woman that you've become...
[laughs, sniffles]
and I just love you so much.
I mean, not only are you reuniting with Liam,
but you're reuniting your whole family.
I couldn't be happier.
-Actually, you can, Grandma. -BROOKE: Oh?
Because we've reached the happiest part of the ceremony.
-The vows. -Oh, yes!
Finally.
[laughter]
Daddy, you're first.
Me? Okay.
So...
I guess we've really taken the long way around,
haven't we?
Um...
you are the most loving,
kind, compassionate, caring...
joyful human being
that I have ever met in my life,
and you make me wanna be a better one every day,
every single day.
And most of all...
You are the woman who gave me
her.
Our Beth.
And I am so grateful to you
every day.
And I promise I will be the man that you deserve.
I will.
-Good job, Daddy. -[laughter]
Thank you.
Mommy, what do you wanna say to Daddy?
Oh...
What I would like to say to your daddy...
Is that he is the strongest man
that I know.
You understand that strength
actually requires compassion.
And everything that...
...we've been through in the past few years,
I mean...
to be standing here today
with all of these people who love us in this room...
To have the gift of being able to look in your eyes...
We've already lived a lot of life.
And I think...
we had to learn a few lessons
before we could be here today
and for it to feel so right.
So...
I am so excited to reunite our family.
I know we have a beautiful future ahead
of all of us.
I know it too...
after you answer these very important questions.
-Oh! -Oh.
-Daddy. -I'm ready.
Do you take Mommy to be your lawfully wedded wife,
to have and to hold from this day forward
as long as you both shall live?
One hundred percent, I do.
And Mommy, do you take Daddy
to be your lawfully wedded husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward
as long as you both shall live?
I most certainly do.
Now rings.
-I think this one is mine. -Oh.
Thank you, sir.
Daddy, repeat after me.
Yeah.
With this ring, I thee wed.
Excited for all the adventures ahead.
[laughter]
Excited for all the adventures ahead.
And Mommy.
With this ring, I thee wed.
Excited for all the adventures ahead.

for the adventures ahead.
And now I'm very, very happy to pronounce you
husband and wife.
You can kiss Mommy now, Daddy.
