A romantic music. Solemn moments and cheers that erupt as a sign of a new happiness... This Friday, November 20th is a great day for Kelly Capwell : on NBC, which firstly broadcasts Santa Barbara, she marries Jeffrey Conrad (performed by the young South African actor Ross Kettle), the great love of her new life... After the tragic death of Joe Perkins, her husband, and many sentimental disappointments, Kelly is going to smile again. But her wedding will not make only happy ones and will immediately be threatened by outside influences...

All Santa Barbara has agreed to meet you at Greystone, one of the most prestigious estate in Hollywood, to attend the event : Ted came with his fiancée Laken, Mason (who is now bearded) with Julia, even Marcy Walker did not want to miss the ceremony, although she is going through hard times and moves only in a wheelchair...

For two days the team of the show left the famous studios in Burbank, the headquarters of Santa Barbara, for this exceptional shooting. More than one hundred extras were even hired to be part of the wedding guests ! An outdoor wedding, lulled by the sweet California sun, and where Kelly, in a beautiful white wedding dress, with veils and a train of several meters, appeared like a romantic jewel. For Robin Wright, it is the second wedding in a month after the one she lives in the theaters in The Princess Bride !
