It's the day of the wedding. As Bridget gets ready, she hears the Wedding March chiming from her cell phone. She looks at the display and answers, asking Nick if he's enjoying his last moments of freedom. He says that he has to see her; he knows it's against the rules, but he thinks they can break their rules on their day, so he's parked in back. Bridget tells him to stop kidding, since she knows he's not outside. She also knows he's into this wedding stuff, no matter how he's acting. That should prove how much he likes her, he says; if he had his way, they'd have rice on the boat by now. She laughs and agrees that he must love her, then. More than she knows, Nick says; he says he'll see her at the altar.

Nick gets ready, with help from Ridge.

Nick gets back to getting dressed as Ridge comes aboard the Shady Marlin. He sees Nick's choice of bow tie - a gift from his buddies at Chuck's - and chooses another that's not beer soaked. As he helps Nick put the tie on, he reminds his half brother that he's only doing this for Bridget, who deserves a halfway presentable groom. Finally, Nick gasps, they agree on something.

Rick drops by to see Bridget before the wedding.

Back at Ridge's house, Rick drops in to see Bridget. She's so glad to see him. He says he wouldn't miss his sister's wedding and notes how glowing she looks. She says that's because of Nick and hugs Rick. Brooke walks in, pleased to see her children together. She just wishes they could do this more often. Bridget agrees. Just then, Massimo drops in with a gift for his future daughter-in-law, who's already family as far he's concerned. He gives her a pair of pearl earrings that belonged to his grandmother, a woman very much like Bridget. Stunned, Bridget doesn't know how to thank him. He says there's no need, since he's already proud to call her family, and hugs her.

The newly aged Phoebe and Steffy help out with the wedding.

Outside, Phoebe and Steffy (now played by 14 year old Alex and Addison Hoover) help get things ready. Stephanie and Eric arrive with Gabriela and admire Brooke's hard work. And Brooke wasn't the only one who was busy, Stephanie says, telling Gaby how Eric was sewing all night. He wanted the gown to be exquisite, he says. Stephanie says she's sure it is. Gaby is surprised that Stephanie hasn't seen it. Stephanie says her husband is being mysterious, but Eric says he wanted Bridget to be the first to see it. Just then, Thomas runs up and asks for Gaby's help gathering petals to replace the ones Hope dumped in the fruit punch and leads her away.

Jackie tells Brooke that she'll support this marriage.

Ridge and Nick arrive. Nick can't believe all this; Ridge quips that Nick should be glad he cleaned up now and goes to check on the caterers. Nick then greets Massimo, who tells his younger son how pleased he is today; he thinks Nick and Bridget are meant to be together and advises Nick to focus on his beautiful bride. Up on the balcony, Brooke and Jackie look down at Nick. Brooke says he looks happy. Jackie agrees and promises to support this marriage. Really? Brooke asks. Really, Jackie replies.

Ridge tells Bridget how radiant she looks.

Bridget's still getting ready when she gets a knock at the door with a special delivery. She calls for the visitor to come in and it's Ridge, who has a garment bag with a dress in it. Bridget thanks him so much, especially given the short notice and how he feels about the wedding. Ridge admits his feelings about the wedding haven't changed. But seeing how radiant she looks today, he has to wonder if maybe Nick isn't so bad after all. He guesses he's concerned because he's gotten used to having her around. They're family, she reminds him, so no matter where they are, they'll always be together. She hugs him.

Jackie greets her son and tells him how handsome he looks. She's sure he and Bridget will be stunning together. Nick asks if this means they have her blessing. She says she wants what's best for him, and if that's Bridget... He says it is. Then he has her blessing, she says.

Thorne and Darla ask Ridge about the prowler from last night.

Ridge comes down and greets Thorne and Darla. Thorne jokes that he didn't know if he should be here, fraternizing with the competition. So he heard the news, Ridge says. Thorne says he did and he thinks it's a good move. Darla asks if there's any more news about the prowler that was here last night. Not since he chased the guy away, Ridge says. Darla hopes the prowler won't cause trouble today.

Massimo suggests to Eric that they put their differences aside.

Eric approaches Massimo, who points out that their children are getting married. Which makes them...? Eric asks. Proud parents, Mass says. He thinks Bridget is a wonderful woman who has made his son happy and he suggests that he and Eric put their differences aside for their children. For the children, Eric agrees, shaking Massimo's hand.

Nick helps flower girl Hope practice.

Hope greets “Uncle Nick,” who tells the flower girl how pretty she looks. He helps her practice throwing her petals as Brooke comes over. Brooke tells Hope to find Thomas, since the wedding's going to start soon. Hope gives Nick a hug and gets on her way. Nick then compliments Brooke on the job she did; he thinks her daughter is something else, just like her mother. Unseen by either of them, Jackie stands by the fence and watches, a sad look on her face.

Eric's surprised to find Bridget already has a wedding gown.

Inside the house, Eric zips “the perfect dress for the perfect daughter” into a garment bag and brings it up to Bridget. He sets the dress down on a chair outside and goes in, where he finds Bridget already dressed (in the gown Ridge brought). She says Stephanie and Brooke wanted to help her, but she couldn't wait. Eric is silent. Bridget asks if something's wrong. No, he says; it's just that she's a vision. Thanks to Ridge's impeccable taste, she says. She's glad she didn't have to worry about her dress, since she already feels like she's hyperventilating. Eric says they can't have that, so she should take some deep breaths and think about how beautiful she is. That comes from inside, he says, not from any dress. He's sorry if he's dragged his heels over this wedding, but it's hard for him to see his little girl as a married woman. Bridget hugs him and says she'll always he his little girl.

Chuck and Corky keep their eye on Megan.

Downstairs, Megan sits next to Chuck and Corky, who seem to be admiring her... neckline. She notices Nick's buddies staring and just tries to keep smiling.

Meanwhile, Eric comes down. Ridge asks if Bridget is ready. She is, Eric says. Ridge sees the long look on his dad's face and asks what's wrong. Eric says he designed a gown for Bridget. Ridge thinks that's great and wonders what's wrong then; didn't it fit? Eric says she was already wearing the other gown and he didn't want to throw her a curve-ball. Ridge says that's ridiculous; he knows Bridget would want to wear the gown her father made. Eric says that today's about Bridget's love for Nick and not about what she's wearing, so it doesn't matter.

Stephanie is there for Bridget.

Upstairs, Brooke and Stephanie help Bridget as the big moment draws near. Bridget says this is already the best day of her life, even though she's not even married yet. She's amazed to see the Forrester and Marone families so close today and thinks that shows what love and family mean. Because of her, Stephanie tells Bridget, since Bridget brings out the best in people. Bridget looks at the two women and says she owes so much to the both of them. They both fought for the men they love, and now that she's found Nick, she sees what that love is like. That's why she's so pleased to have the two of them, who have always been at odds, standing up for her. She thinks Brooke and Stephanie may not realize how close they've become, for better or worse. Brooke tells Stephanie they have to admit Bridget's right and hugs her. As memorable as this moment is, Stephanie says, they have to move on, since Eric is dying to see his daughter in the dress he designed. But Eric didn't design this, Bridget says.

Downstairs, Nick waits with Ridge and Rick. They wonder what's keeping Bridget.

Eric waits to walk Bridget down the aisle and is stunned when she comes down wearing the gown he esigned! She says she wouldn't wear anything else.

The wedding begins. Stephanie walks down the aisle first, followed by Brooke. Next comes Hope, tossing petals down the aisle. And finally, Eric prepares to walk Bridget down the aisle. Nick sees his bride to be and smiles. She looks at him and smiles back.
