Genoa City stopped on November 21, 2025. After decades of near-misses, break-ups, and “what-ifs,” Christine Blair and Danny Romalotti said “I do” for the second time in one of the most anticipated weddings in The Young and the Restless’ history.
Lauralee Bell, who has portrayed Christine (originally “Cricket” Blair) since 1983, and Michael Damian, back as rock-star Danny, delivered a masterclass in soap romance across the Friday ceremony and Monday reception episodes.
The Wedding Fans Helped Create
In a rare move, the show let viewers choose Christine’s wedding dress.
Three options designed by costume supervisor Mandi Line were revealed in September 2025, and fans voted overwhelmingly for an elegant strapless ivory mermaid gown with a dramatic cathedral-length veil.
The final result was breathtaking under the Chancellor Park gazebo, surrounded by autumn foliage and white florals.
Returning favorites filled the guest list: Nina Webster (Tricia Cast), Gina Roma (Patty Weaver), Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman), Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), and more.
Notably absent: Phyllis Summers, allowing the day to stay focused on the couple.
Key Emotional Highlights
- Flashback montage to the original 1990 Hawaiian wedding
- Lauren’s toast references Danny and Lauren’s duet “Against All Odds.”
- First dance to Diana Ross’s “The Last Dance.”
- Christine whispered, “Thank you for waiting for me,” during the vows
