The Ultimate Bold & Beautiful Wedding Album: Revisit Some of the Show’s Most Fabulous Nuptials, From the Enviably Lavish to the Inevitably Interrupted
Thursday, August 5th, 2021
Ahead of Steffy and Finn’s “wedding of the century” we celebrate ceremonies fans may have forgotten and will fondly recall.
As the much-ballyhooed wedding of Steffy Forrester and Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan commences on Bold & Beautiful, we got to thinking about the daytime sudser’s fondness for nuptials; lots and lots of nuptials. While it would be a task indeed to mark every ceremony, we did manage to “gather together” a fun batch of marriage memories from across the years.
Watch! Steffy and Finn wedding bombshell preview
Through the decades, viewers have been treated to all kinds of weddings featuring glamorous gowns, sumptuous scenarios — many of the fabulous weddings take place on location shoots, such as in Australia, Monte Carlo, and on sunny California beaches — and glorious glitches.
Bold & Beautiful characters such as Ridge and Brooke, and later, Liam and Hope, have made many attempts to wed, not all of which were successful. In fact, the interrupted wedding has become almost as much of a tradition on Bold & Beautiful as characters tying the knot in the living room of the Forrester mansion, or annulling the marriage after the fact. Amazingly and amusingly, Carter Walton often acts as officiant at the wedding as well as the go-to-attorney to dissolve the union later.
While Steffy and Finn’s wedding is expected to go off with a hitch, it won’t be without a glitch, and a monstrous one at that, as a mystery guest and a bombshell revelation about Finn’s bio mom will rock the bride and groom and their families!
As we wait for it all to go down, sit back and take a look through our Bold & Beautiful wedding album, and then let us know which nuptials you loved, which made you laugh, which you’d forgotten, and which you fondly remember.

<p>This is just one of Eric and Stephanie’s weddings — they married four times. The couple routinely split up over his affairs and battled over family drama for decades. However, as matriarch and patriarch of the Forrester family, they always cared deeply about one another even when they were apart, and were drawn back together repeatedly until Stephanie’s untimely death from lung cancer. </p>

<p>Brooke and Bill’s relationship had been a beleagured one, mainly due to the fact that he was her sister Katie’s man, and that she always has one eye on her ‘destiny’ with Ridge Forrester. When they finally wed, after two previous ill-fated attempts, including one in Abu Dhabi in which Ridge an interfering Ridge was dumped into the ocean from a helicopter, it was a simple, but beautiful ceremony at home. Later, Bill’s scheming against Sally Spectra resulted in Brooke leaving him.</p>
