Are you serious?
Y-you want me to...
Be my wife. Yes!
Katie, having you back in the house
and back in my life, it's just...
it's just right.
You're crazy!
Well, that's not exactly a revelation.
You know what?
I screwed this up.
I shoulda led with this.
Oh!
And these.
Um...
[laughing]
You just carry around diamond rings in your pocket?
I mean, did you plan this?
Yes. Well--no.
Uh, you know, sort of.
I-I've...I've just been
waiting for the perfect time.
And now is the perfect time, huh?
I love you.
Do you love me?
-You know I do. -Then what are we waiting for?
Make me the happiest man on the planet
and say that you will become my wife.
Tonight.
Okay. Okay.
Yes. Yes, I will marry you.
Yes.
I was gonna meet you in the hot tub.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
Well, we don't need the hot tub.
Is Hayes still staying with your mom?
Mm-hmm. And Kelly's gonna sleep over at Olivia's
after she's done partying at Liam's house.
So, uh, we're on our own.
Yes, we are.
[Finn chuckles]
All right. Now I'm ready.
Come on. I'll walk ya out.
Hang on, Ridge. Here. Here, uh...
Have a drink with me.
-Well, don't twist my arm. -[chuckles]
To, uh...
to Forrester, past,
present, and future.
To my dad, the heart and soul of this company.
-Oh, wow. That's nice. -Mm.
Can I ask you something?
How did you get out of this whole Spencer thing today?
Donna knew I wasn't really in the mood
to celebrate anything so, uh,
she didn't push it. How 'bout you?
Brooke knows how I feel about Spencer,
so this just-- it was better for everybody.
He's a real piece of work, isn't he?
-[laughs] Yeah. -Walking, living proof
that, uh, money doesn't buy taste.
Where does he even find those shirts?
[laughing] I don't know.

So did Kelly give you the 411
on Hope and Liam's wedding?
Yeah, not the-- not the specifics,
but Kelly was really proud of her sister
officiating the wedding.
And who knows, maybe Kelly will follow
in her little sister's footsteps and...
do ours if we ever decide to renew our vows.
Oh, baby, I would marry you every day if I could.
I love you. Come here.
I think the wedding was really lovely.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
What'd your dad say?
Oh, he didn't go.
I look around this room and all I see is energy
and creativity, you know?
I sat at this desk for all those years,
deciding what, uh, which drawings to finish up
and which designs are gonna be in the show
and what to name the collection
and what direction the company's gonna go and--
Now we gotta keep things secret before they hit the catwalk.
[laughs] Oh, God, it wasn't always easy.
Sally Spectra out there trying to rip us off
with every--every collection, she tried.
-And she kept doing it. -No, no. Yeah.
She was relentless! I mean, she thought she was
the master of disguise, and she wasn't, really.
But you and I always prevailed.
We won every time.
The two of us standing on the runway with our arms up...
in, uh...in triumph.
Those are some of my favorite memories,
sharing those moments with you.
The two of us together.
But now it's just gonna be you just, uh...
Ridge Forrester...
arms up at the end of the show.
[Katie laughing]
-Yeah. -Uh, Katie, honey?
Donna and I are gonna head home, okay?
-It's time. -Thank you and Bill for hosting.
Uh, hold on. Hold on there.
Nobody has permission to leave.
We have an announcement to make.
Liam and Hope aren't the only ones getting married today.
W-what are you talking about, Dad?
Your father proposed, and I said yes.
-Oh! -What?
Uh, we'll make it official, official later,
but for right now, we would love it
if all of you would take part.
This is the woman I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
I don't wanna wait another moment.
I think we've waited long enough.
BILL: So what do you say?
Will you all be witness to another Spencer wedding?
-Oh, yes! -Yes! Yes!
I can't believe that Dad did it.
-I know! I know. -[chatter, exclamations]
Oh, my gosh.
-You're getting married! -Let's see that.
-BROOKE: Oh, my God! -I mean, it's hard to miss.
So your dad and your grandfather
both skipped out on the wedding
-but they're together right now? -Yeah, hopefully
working things out after the retirement party.
Look, my dad, he just regrets how he handled things.
Professionally, I still believe
that working on a collection at that capacity
with all the stress associated with it--
it isn't good for someone with Eric's medical history.
You're so right. That is exactly why
my father wanted my grandfather to retire.
He loves him.
HE doesn't wanna lose him.
Remember this one?
Your mother.
Stephanie. She was something. She was a real force.
[chuckling] Yeah.
Whatever she did, she did completely with great gusto.
And she ran down anybody who got in her way.
She did.
And we built this company together. Together.
You built an empire.
An empire based on family.
She's up there right now. She's, uh,
sipping a martini,
looking down on us.
Now she's looking down on you, Ridge.
You've been running this place
for quite a while on your own, you know, but, uh,
it's all yours now.
This is all yours.

[softly] Check him out. He's super nervous.
Hey, Dad, are you nervous?
What are you talking about? I don't get nervous.
No, you're totally nervous and I gotta get a photo of this,
because Big Bad Bill Spencer's a total baby.
-Okay, get outta here with that. -Stop, no, it's sweet!
-He's not nervous. He's excited. -Correct!
I am excited. Thank you, Electra.
I'm gonna go check on Katie.
Yeah. Tell her that I can't wait for her to become my wife.
[both laugh]
You know, thinking about...
Hope and Liam's wedding, it just...
makes me remember ours.
And to have a woman as amazing as you...
...to go through this life with, just...
I still can't figure out how I got so lucky.
Well, what we have...
is really rare, and we need to cherish it.
We need to hold on to it.
ERIC: There's something I wanna give to you.
Here.
I've had this from the very first day,
from the very beginning.
Stephanie gave me this.
And it represents power and courage
and determination and creativity.
Mm-hmm. That's a lotta weight to put on a stapler.
Not on this stapler.
This represents power to me.
A certain power that
a person carries in their lives,
and that's what this is to me.
But so now, uh...
It's yours now. Here.
Take it.
I'm done.
All I ever wanted was to be worthy of...
your respect and your love.
But you gotta know this office, this place is all you.
Every fiber, every-- it's all you.
And this door will always be open.
I'm gonna try the retirement thing for a while,
do my best.
But there's no guarantee that I won't be coming,
walking back in that door one of these days.
I hope so.
I always wanted to be like you.
You're the best man I know.
And I love you so much.
I love you too, son.
I love you so much.

given the impromptu nature of this,
we don't have a justice of the peace.
And I think it's past Beth's bedtime
and we can't just get her back here so, uh...
we'll wing it.
I hope you both know how, deep down,
I always, always wanted my parents back together.
And that's mostly because my dad is
a far better human with you in his life, Mom.
-[light laughter] -It's true.
But even when you guys were
apart, there was always...
that thing that connected you.
It was real, it was palpable, and it was right here.
And I'm so glad that you guys now see that too.
I miss my family. I love you.
I love you too.
-Mom. -I love you, baby.
Donna and I are so grateful
to be a part of this special moment with you.
And nobody deserve happiness
more than my amazing sister.
DONNA: Katie, your strength,
your...love, the way that you
care for the people that you love and...
you always put others before yourself.
It's inspiring, really,
and it--it makes you even more beautiful
than you already are.
I love you.
All right, well...
what now? [laughs]
Uh, what--what--what--

You're right. I-I am nervous.

Oh, uh, I got this.
I make decisions for a multibillion dollar company
on a daily basis, so I can--I can handle this.

I will do my best
to tell you what's in my heart,
and then you can tell me what's in your heart...
And those will obviously be our--our vows.
That sounds like a plan.
Uh...
We have come... a long way, you and me.
[small laugh]
I remember the first time I laid eyes on you.
Something immediately shifted.
Without even trying back then,
you made me wanna be better.
You have always been my, uh,
my touchstone.
My...
safe harbor.
That's what I wanna be for you.
So if you will trust me with your heart...
I swear to you...
...that I will cherish it until the day I die.
My Katie.
The first time I gave you my heart, it was...
fragile.
You made it strong.
You made me feel like I had
a voice worth listening to.
You made me believe that I could go after
whatever I wanted in this world.
I have thought about putting our family back together again
so many times, so many times over the years.
I guess I just never really thought that it would happen,
but here it is, it's happening.
It's happening, and then it's happening in the most
Bill Spencer way possible-- completely spontaneous.
You are unpredictable and you're passionate.
You have this amazing ability
to--to live completely in the moment,
and that is so... enviable.
Because life is short.
I wish I could give you my heart.
But I don't own it.
It's already yours.
I gave it to you a long time ago.

Not yet. And now, with the power invested in me,

I pronounce us husband and wife.
-Now... -[laughter]
