document: Nicole: So... what do you think?
  Vivienne: Oh, Nicole, baby, you are
  Maya: Zende is going to freak out when he sees you.
  Nicole: That's the goal.
  Vivienne: Ohh. It was so thoughtful of him to get hair and makeup for us.
  Maya: Seriously. The man thought of everything.
  Nicole: He's all right.
  Vivienne: Such a romantic. A Valentine's Day wedding.
  Maya: Ladies...
  Vivienne: Oh!
  Nicole: Oh!
  Vivienne: Yes!
  Maya: Cheers!
  Zende: Mom! Dad!
  Kristen: Hi, baby! Look at you! Oh, my gosh! Oh, it's so good to see you.
  Zende: Dad. Hey, man. Come here.
  Tony: Congratulations!
  Eric: Well, well. Parents of the groom. Kristen. My beautiful Kristen. Hi.
  Kristen: Hello. Good to see you.
  Eric: Tony. Hey. Welcome.
  Tony: Dad. Thank you, dad.
  Pam: And wait till you're totally out before you come replenish. I love the sight of empty plates. It means happy guests.
  Charlie: There. Perfect. It's lovely.
  Pam: You think so? I baked it myself.
  Charlie: Excuse me?
  Pam: Okay. He helped a little.
  Darlita: You're going to the Forrester wedding?! I love weddings! Can I go as your plus-one?
  Sally: No, Darlita. I don't think that it would work that way.
  Saul: Yeah, you don't get a plus-one when you don't get invited.
  Sally: Now, Saul...
  Saul: How are you even gonna get in there?
  Sally: Well, if you would stop being so negatory, maybe we could figure that out.
  Shirley: Yoo-hoo! Coffee break time! [Squeals] Fresh out of the oven.
  Sally: Not now, grams. We're kind of in the middle of something. What are those?
  Shirley: Cakes! [Giggles] What's it look like? I used to push out a dozen of these from the bakery every single day. I've tried some new recipes. I want to find out which one y'all like best.
  Sally: Cake! [Gasps] Yes! That is the answer! [Gasps] Ooh, I love you, grams!
  [Classical musical plays]
  Eric: Lovely, isn't it?
  Quinn: Remarkable.
  Julius: The father of the bride has arrived!
  Eric: Julius! Welcome.
  Julius: Eric. Man, family is everything, isn't it?
  Eric: [Laughing] Yes.
  Julius: Oh. And the lovely lady of the manor.
  Quinn: Aww. Charmed, I'm sure. [Giggles]
  Julius: And the soon-to-be newest member of my clan. Zende, bring it in, son. [Chuckles] Wow. Eric. Thank you. This is the nicest gift you could have given my daughter for her wedding day.
  Eric: Actually, Zende's responsible for that.
  Julius: Ah. Wow. On your wall, the same place that my other daughter used to reside. Oh, wait a minute. Are you and the lovely wife moving out and giving Nicole and Zende the estate? Is that what's happening?
  Zende: No, we just --
  Quinn: No, this is just for the wedding. It's just -- just for the wedding.
  Julius: Oh, okay.
  Quinn: [Chuckles]
  Zende: Look, I want you to meet my parents.
  Julius: Oh, okay. Great.
  Zende: Come on.
  Julius: See you guys.
  Quinn: [Sighs] Just the wedding.
  Sally: There. Just like that.
  Shirley: What are you doing?
  Sally: What does it look like? It's a wedding cake! For the Forresters' wedding!
  Shirley: Whoa. Whoa. Just hold it.
  Sally: We'll just drop it off. We'll be quiet and discreet. I just want to see that house and the grounds. We have to got to stay in the headlines with Steffy like the other day. This exposure is gonna tie us to the Forresters and Steffy's followers. Just more eyeballs for our upcoming preview. I can see it now -- "sally spectra crashes Forrester wedding."
  Vivienne: I'd like you to have this. Or at least borrow it.
  Nicole: Mom...
  Vivienne: Your grandmother gave it to me on my wedding day. Apparently, it's a day for tears.
  Nicole: I'm gonna have to use it already.
  Vivienne: [Laughing] No!
  Nicole: Thank you.
  Maya: All right, all right. No tears! The makeup! Come on!
  Nicole: Okay, okay.
  Vivienne: Okay, okay.
  [Laughter]
  Julius: Well, well. What do we have here?
  Nicole: Dad! You made it!
  Julius: [Sighs] Nothing would stop me from being here for my beautiful daughter's wedding day.
  Kristen: What a shame. I'm sorry that Brooke's not feeling well.
  Ridge: Oh, thank you, sis. It is a shame. But Brooke sends her love and sends the best for Nicole and Zende on their special day, right?
  Tony: Well, she'll be missed.
  Ridge: She'll be here in spirit.
  Kristen: All right, well, can we catch up later? Because I think we should probably go check on our boy.
  Ridge: Great.
  Tony: See ya.
  Kristen: Hey.
  Ridge: She would have loved this.
  R.J.: Yeah. Yeah.
  Ridge: We'll call her later. Hey. You look nice. The place looks great. You are, uh, quite the hostess.
  Quinn: I'm trying.
  Ridge: Yes, I can see that. You gave up your place on the wall.
  Eric: Just for one day.
  Ridge: Right.
  Eric: This is nice.
  Tony: When you came home for Christmas, the way you talked about Nicole... there was no doubt in my mind that this day would come.
  Zende: Thanks, pop.
  Tony: She's gonna be walking down those stairs any moment.
  Zende: [Sighs] Yeah. Yeah.
  Kristen: You okay?
  Zende: Yeah, I'm fine. Wait. Do you know something?
  Kristen: No, I -- [Laughs]
  Zende: Is something wrong?
  Kristen: Of course not. No.
  Zende: Sorry, I'm just -- I'm good. I'm good.
  Kristen: Good.
  Zende: I'm just a little anxious.
  Kristen: Of course you are, but, honey, just relax, okay, and enjoy this moment.
  Zende: I will. And every moment after that.
  Kristen: You love her?
  Zende: Yeah. I do.
  Kristen: That's all we ever wanted for you.
  Rick: Zende! Look who decided to show up.
  Carter: Can't have a wedding without the officiant.
  Zende: Thanks for doing this, man.
  Carter: Of course.
  Liam: How's the groom holding up?
  Zende: Barely.
  Steffy: And the bride?
  Thomas: She didn't get cold feet, did she?
  Zende: You're funny. Nothing's gonna ruin this day for Nicole.
  Pam: Um, are you with the caterers?
  Sally: Yes. Yes. Yes, we are. And you are?
  Charlie: Well, I'm just the handsome all-star quarterback --
  Pam: And she's the head coach. [Clears throat] Well, the food part, at least. [Chuckles nervously]
  Pam: Okay. Kitchen's this way. Follow me.
  [Indistinct conversation]
  Shirley: Let's go, girl. Get with it.
  Zende: Hey.
  Sasha: Hi.
  Zende: Relax. Nicole invited you. Sister of the bride. Look, we can't get closer to family than that, right?
  Sasha: Yeah. Yes, you're right. Thank you. I really needed to hear that. Look, I just came today because I wanted to show my love and support for you two. Nic really is marrying... well, an incredible man.
  Zende: Thank you.
  Nicole: So, what do you think? Your baby girl's tying the knot.
  Julius: I couldn't be prouder. And what a setup! It must have cost a fortune.
  Nicole: [Laughs] Dad...
  Julius: I know. I know. When did you decide to grow up? I mean, I still see you as my little baby girl. You used to fit right here. All 7 pounds of you. With your little fingers wrapped around my thumb. Then you started walking and talking and...
  Nicole: And it all went downhill from there.
  [Both laugh]
  Julius: And you found a good man, too. But he better take good care of you.
  Nicole: He will. I'm so happy, daddy.
  Julius: This is your day, baby. All yours. And I want it to be the happiest day of your life. Come here.
  Eric: Shouldn't be long now.
  Quinn: Uh-huh.
  Eric: I'm curious about your fascination with this portrait.
  Quinn: It's lovely. Just like everybody says.
  Eric: Mm-hmm.
  Quinn: What?
  Eric: You may have me wrapped around your little finger, but I'm still pretty good at reading my wife, and I think I detect just a hint of jealousy.
  Quinn: What? Don't be silly. Okay, well, maybe you're not being silly. It's just, Eric, that is my spot. In this whole house, there's only one place that belongs to me and only me, and it's -- it's there. That could be a zillion- dollar Picasso, and I still wouldn't be very fond of it, and... I am being ridiculous and you need to ignore me.
  Eric: You know, there is one other place in this house that's yours alone. Right here.
  Quinn: [Gasps] I love you.
  Thomas: Dad. Hey. How you doing? Stop staring. She's the hostess. You have to be nice.
  Ridge: You're right, I'll have to try to rise above it.
  Shirley: [Sighs] Well, this sort of spits all over your perfect little plan, doesn't it? [Sighs] I have seen better cakes in a cow field.
  Sally: Well, life is what it throws at you, grams. Deal.
  Shirley: [Sighs] Honey... I didn't have enough time to make it presentable. And we don't even know if it's edible. We never got to taste it.
  Sally: To be continued! Here. Let's go mingle.
  Thomas: It's a little bit better than yours...
  Rick: I don't even recognize the living room.
  Carter: Zende did good.
  Rick: I'm good. Thank you.
  Thomas: Oh, watching your girly figures? You look cute.
  Carter: It's not a carb day. It's not a carb day.
  Thomas: Really?
  Rick: Look at all this other food we're gonna be eating.
  Carter: Yeah. Save some room.
  Charlie: All right, the cake is all done, and it's perfect. It's really great. The bird goes in the oven...
  Pam: I still wonder about those two.
  Charlie: Well, they're -- they're just backups, you know? Their coach probably called them in, in case they need more help. Pammy, you got enough to worry about.
  Pam: [Sighs]
  Julius: You just take care of my little girl, okay?
  Zende: Always and forever. Look, you have my word.
  Julius: Congratulations. Son.
  Nicole: You've been through this before.
  Steffy: Mm-hmm.
  Nicole: Any advice?
  Steffy: Just breathe.
  Nicole: [Sighs]
  Steffy: The bride is the star of the show.
  Nicole: Not used to that.
  Steffy: You're gonna look gorgeous, and so is the wedding, okay?
  Nicole: Okay.
  Steffy: I'm so happy for you. I really am so, so happy for you.
  Nicole: Thank you.
  Vivienne: All right, girlies. Come. Let's put that dress on.
  Steffy: Okay, so, just remember -- everyone loves you. Everyone in that room loves you.
  [Knocks on door]
  Sasha: Oh, wow. Nicole, you look gorgeous. Um, do you guys mind if I have a moment alone with my sister? I just want to wish her the best.
  Sasha: Nic, you look so beautiful.
  Nicole: Thank you.
  Sasha: I mean, no, I mean it. You look all...glowy.
  [Both chuckle]
  Nicole: Big moment to glow, I guess.
  Sasha: And you will. Nic, I am so happy for you. And I -- I am truly, truly grateful that you let me be here.
  Nicole: Sisters are forever. No matter what.
  Sasha: Zende's really a lucky guy.
  Carter: Why are you sweating, man? You nervous?
  Zende: It's hot.
  Carter: Why are you nervous?
  Zende: It's hot in here.
  Carter: I mean, she said yes, right?
  R.J.: Looks nervous.
  Ridge: A groom has a right to be.
  R.J.: You won't be when you and mom tie the knot, right?
  Ridge: No.
  Tony: I'm actually more nervous than I thought I would be.
  Vivienne: I feel like I'm about to faint.
  Kristen: Well, don't do that, but I know what you mean. I am so excited, I could burst!
  Vivienne: [Chuckles]
  Julius: There's a lot of that going around. My baby girl...
  Maya: Hello, hello. Are we all set? What are we chatting about?
  Carter: Yeah, we're good to go, right?
  Zende: Yeah, absolutely.
  Maya: All right. Then I'll go get Nicole.
  Steffy: Ooh, I just love a good wedding.
  Liam: [Chuckles] Me, too.
  Steffy: You better.
  Liam: I do.
  Steffy: How about you?
  Thomas: Hmm? What?
  Steffy: You're like a million miles away.
  Liam: Dude.
  Steffy: What's up?
  Thomas: No, I'm -- I'm here. I'm here.
  Liam: Okay. How was that thing?
  Steffy: It was actually really good.
  Liam: Yeah? Was that a cream cheese, or...?
  Shirley: Stop staring!
  Sally: I'm not! Stop eating those!
  Shirley: Yes, you are, and at Thomas Forrester, too! What's that about?
  Maya: You ready?
  Nicole: Just taking a moment.
  Maya: Is everything okay, honey?
  Nicole: Are you kidding? I'm so grateful for everything, everyone in my life. I feel so blessed.
  Maya: You are blessed. And so worthy. You deserve all of the good that life is going to give you. Now let's get that dress on so Zende can see how lucky he is! [Giggles]
  Rick: This is it. You ready?
  Zende: Uh... can't wait.
  Rick: Really? Because I couldn't tell.
  Liam: You know, it won't be long before I'm the one anxiously waiting for my bride to walk down the aisle.
  Steffy: Bring it on.
  Liam: Oh, yeah?
  Steffy: Yeah.
  Maya: Hi. She's ready.
  Carter: Oh, okay.
  Maya: Yeah, yeah, we're good.
  ["Wedding March" plays]
  Nicole: Oh, my god!
  [Laughter]
  Carter: I think I can speak for everyone when I say how deeply grateful we are to share in the love between these two. And how fitting that it's Valentine's Day.
  Vivienne: Mm-hmm.
  [Laughter]
  Carter: We are gathered here to celebrate the union of Zende and Nicole.
