Additional Comments: That was the worst wedding I've ever seen on a soap. And Marina is hands down the fugliest bride with the fugliest dress. And all that starting and stopping, and people's exes popping up...the rain (no the snow..no the rain) just add insult to misery. And Marina and Mallet do NOT look happy. And Frank & Eleni acted like they had never met before. And having it at Company????/ I don't know. I just can't say enough 'bad' about this wedding.

That dress was hideous, as was Marina's hair. It's always so funny to me how a female character on the soaps can go day to day and have lovely hair styles and then, when they're in their own wedding scenes, their hair looks like $hit.

Count me among those who thought Marina's dress was fugly (although unlike many here, I think this actress is good as Marina - would love to see her get together with this Shayne). The one she wore when they were "eloping" (when Remy and Christina ended up getting married while drunk) was prettier than this one. And that looked like the least festive wedding ever - at least Jeffrey and Reva's had a wee bit of planning to it (although most of the plans didn't work out) and they said their vows with conviction and joy.

I am so glad that I am not the only one who thought her dress was beyond ugly. Just didn't seem to suit her.

And I agree that they don't seem happy. I thought Mallet's smile when she was walking down the "aisle" to him seemed very forced. I'm wondering how their relationship is doing in real life. Maybe they're not doing so well and that came out in that smile??? I dunno, just wondering.

I'd like to see Marina and Shayne back together. Did you watch his face? That boy is a very good actor. You could almost see the pain, the hurting, the longing in his face as he watched and thought about the wedding. Maybe Marina (irritating at times that she is) could bring him back from the edge.

And I really wanted Mallet to walk away from that wedding and go off into the rainy/snowy sunset with Dinah. My heart was breaking for them both.

But then Mallet returned to Marina and I thought oh good grief, here we go again. Let's get married while we love other people, so later we can break up and have yet another failed marriage on the show.

Speaking of marriages... I'm beginning to really like Remy and Christina together. They have something, not sure what...but I really hope they continue to have roadblocks to getting their divorce until they can see that they are really falling for each other. I just love Remy's smile when he's truly happy.

I was wondering if this is leading up to Marina and Mallett not getting married although a spoiler said different. Mallett and Dinah are so good together, Marina and Mallett just don't fit for some reason. I liked when Shane reminded Marina that they were in play pens when Mallott and Harely were married.
