Five years ago this week, Young & the Restless<\/a> took us to Tuscany for the wedding of the year. This week, we\u2019re headed to the Genoa City Athletic Club for a wedding that doesn\u2019t realize it\u2019s trying to top it. Same players, different seats.<\/p>\n Grab a glass of wine. Let\u2019s take a little trip down memory lane.<\/p>\n Victoria Newman<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Amelia Heinle<\/strong><\/em>) was marrying Ashland Locke<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Richard Burgi<\/strong><\/em>) in Italy. Gorgeous setting, gorgeous people, & one giant fashion faux pas hanging over the whole thing.<\/p>\n Victoria\u2019s original wedding gown<\/a> came from Lauren Fenmore<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Tracey E. Bregman<\/strong><\/em>), & Victoria wasn\u2019t feeling it. Enter Sally Spectra<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Courtney Hope<\/strong><\/em>). Her design was the one waiting in Victoria\u2019s suite, & it was stunning\u2026 Not nearly as fabulous as the ever-fabulous Lauren Fenmore & her designs.<\/p>\n I already broke down who wore Sally better<\/a>, Victoria Newman or Abby Winters<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (Melissa Claire Ordway). Either way, \u201cThat Dress Woman,\u201d as The Almighty Victor Newman<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Eric Braeden) calls her, has arrived.<\/p>\n While Sally was making Victoria look like a million bucks, Billy Abbott<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Jason Thompson<\/strong><\/em>) was on a mission to blow the whole wedding up.<\/p>\n Billy dragged Jesse Gaines<\/strong><\/em> (Jamison Jones<\/strong><\/em>) all the way to Italy to expose Ashland. Nick caught Gaines lurking in the palazzo. Victor wanted to make Gaines disappear as a wedding gift to Ashland. A Newman wedding with a side of attempted sabotage & a possible hit job. That, my friends, is peak Y&R.<\/p>\n It was my favorite week on the show ever. I\u2019m not even exaggerating. I posted my Y&R watching ass off that week.<\/p>\n Now look at us. Sally is the one walking down the aisle, & the groom is Billy. Yes, the same Billy who tried to wreck Victoria\u2019s wedding is marrying the woman who dressed her for it.<\/p>\n Victoria is Billy\u2019s ex-wife & the mother of two of his kids. She\u2019ll be in the room watching her dress designer marry her ex-husband. If that isn\u2019t full circle, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the venue. Phyllis Summers<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Michelle Stafford<\/strong><\/em>) owns the GCAC now. Billy\u2019s ex. Sally\u2019s nemesis. The woman with the keys to the building. Pietro can plan all the swans & champagne towers he wants. Phyllis controls the thermostat.<\/p>\nThe Newman Palazzo in Tuscany, October 2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n
