At Trumble's, Chelsea and Adam are reading up on how to get pregnant. However did people procreate before the printing press? ~kiss~

Eden's paid a surprise visit to the ranch - to hang out with Kyle - with car chase videos, gummie bears and a 6 pack.

You sure you're OK? Nick notes Phyllis doesn't seem like herself. They then joke with Summer and Noah (who arrive to take their seats). The Murphy's arrive late - but luckily there seems to be a delay. Kay wonders what's keeping Nikki. At the altar, Vikki quietly rants about Victor - trying to ruin things for Mom. Could Billy's source have been mistaken? No. OK - don't tell anyone (that Victor married Sharon).

Inside, Nikki appeals to Victor. Please don't do this - she knows he's there to stop the wedding. OMG - unbelievable - what are YOU doing here? Victor hasn't told you? Sharon flashes her ring - as Victor announces they're married. Good for you - you deserve each other, Nikki just wants them gone - her groom awaits.

Seated outside, Abby frets to Ashley, Traci and Sarge you don't think Nikki changed her mind? At the altar, Billy has more to say about the Victor Sharon thing (which is postponed when a beaming Nikki walks down the aisle on Nick's arm).

All are stunned; amazed when Jack manages to slowly stand from his wheelchair. The bride couldn't be more delighted.

Now at G-worm, Adam and Chelsea are told that Gloria's catering Nikki and Jack's wedding. Seating the Newman's at their favourite table, a beep on Glo's phone announces another wedding; Victor just married Sharon. They watch the video of the RS website - wow - that's pretty messed up.

In the Abbott living room, Sharon explains why she intruded (assuming Victor came to see Nikki). But Victor's NOT with Nikki - she's getting married in the backyard. I'm with YOU - let's go, Victor leads her out.

While Jack's still standing, he has a few things to say; Nikki's not just his love, his friend; she's his inspiration - she gave Jack hope - makes him the man he aspires to be. With Nikki at his side, he can accomplish anything - overcome any obstacle. Near tears, Nikki's so proud to be Jack's wife - he's shown her courage - in the way he embraces her, faults and all.

Over lunch Adam talks about Sharon and Victor flying into marriage on separate boomerangs. He figured Victor would say to hell with her. Sharon can't stand seeing him happy with Chelsea - and Victor's bent outta shape about Nikki marrying Jack. He's surprised Victor didn't say to hell with Sharon (after she chased him to Kansas).

Gloria loudly greets Victor and Sharon warmly - with a bottle of bubbly to celebrate their marriage.

In Kyle's room, over beers, Eden asks if he's OK. Uh huh - 'cept his Dad's marrying the woman who killed his Mom today. Don't take it personally if he's not too talkative. He doesn't wanna talk about it. A fight over the gummie bears leads to a kiss.

You're my beloved - my friend - for all the days of my life, Nikki and Jack are pronounced man and wife - you may kiss your bride. All applaud. Billy - Billy! Still smiling, Jack slumps into the chair his best man wheels over.

After Adam and Chelsea let Sharon and Victor 'get back to their celebration', Gloria appears with champagne; so many weddings (she lists them). Congratulations and enjoy. Well, the news is out - Victor knew Billy couldn't resist the temptation (of spreading the word). Cheers (Sharon appears distracted).

The reception well under way in the Abbott back yard, Phyllis shows Nick the video of Victor and Sharon getting married. Turn it off, Nick's repulsed. Vikki flies over - yes, she knew - special isn't it? What she did NOT know is that RS had the exclusive video.

Aside, Abby's showing the video to Summer and Noah. Who gets married on a plane? Hell no, Noah didn't know - he didn't get around to returning his Mom's call.

The Murphy's chat with the Abbott sisters. Oh how they'll miss Ashley (though Kay understands). Who's ready to be appalled? Abby appears (telling her Mom to stay seated).

Victor toasts his bride - may we have many happy years together. Peaceful years, Sharon adds (wishing she'd been able to reach Noah). He's a grown man, Victor points out - and you're Mrs Victor Newman - our families better get used to that.

Nikki's surprised to find Jack inside (phone in hand). Oh dear God, there's video? Nikki relays Victor's visit (to give her the courtesy of telling her himself). Jack's not too happy to realize that's why Nikki was late to the ceremony.

Maybe it was foolish to hear Victor out - but Nikki wanted to be the 'bigger person'. If he wanted her to call the wedding off, he failed miserably. Nikki told Victor that he and Sharon deserved one another - he shoulda stayed - to see how happy she and Jack are. Summer comes in - time to cut the cake. The newlyweds glow is somewhat dimmed as they head back outside.

As Vikki nags Billy (for not telling her he was posting the video), Kay summons the best man and Matron of Honor. Drinks handed out, Billy makes a charming speech - full of humour and marital advice. Here's to Jack and Nikki - all clink glasses as the bride and groom kiss - then feed one another red velvet cake. Jack and Nikki then thank their guests - more applause - more kissing. The bouquet is tossed - right to Abby (who won't be telling Carmine). Jack wheels himself over to thank Sarge - who says he's proud - then leaves when Ashley interrupts - needing to speak to her Jack inside.

In the living room, Ashley interrupts Vikki nagging Billy - to tell her brothers that she's moving to New York. Because of me? Jack never intended to run her out of Jabot - or out of town. Ashley made her decision for a number of reasons - and knows this will always be her home.

Chelsea and Adam get busy on making that baby ...

It's sweet of the kids to worry, but Nikki wouldn't be phased have Victor married Segundo. At least they won't have any trouble remembering their parents anniversary's. Kay joins them - guessing correctly the topic of their conversation. She tells Nikki that she saw a certain Rolls Royce parked outside - could Victor be that insensitive? What did he hope to accomplish? Nikki doesn't care what Victor does anymore. If only that were true, Kay sighs.

Now home, Victor and Sharon are about to change for a horseback ride - when Ashley shows up. Not returning the friendly vibe, Sharon goes up to change - leaving Ashley to ask Victor to keep an eye on Abby (as she's off to New York). His brain suddenly 'flooded with memories', Victor wishes Ashley the best ~hug~ Take care.

Chelsea and Adam now enjoy strawberries and whipped cream. Planning to have a child with a husband you love is much different than being pregnant and alone in a foreign country, Chelsea concludes that the Abbott's have a baby they love - and it brought her and Adam together. Everything DOES happen for a reason. Now it's giggle and kiss time.

The Newman's don't blame Vikki for being mad at Billy. Phyllis no longer feels like the worst person in GC. Posting the video was pretty tacky. Getting a call from Tim, Phyllis can't help him. Don't keep me waiting - or that video might end up on the 9 o'clock news.

Seen Victor? Sharon tells Eden and Kyle that Victor galloped ahead of her. His horse is back in the stable - Sharon wonders what happened to him.

Back at Jack's, Vikki hugs Traci and Ashley good bye - followed by Billy - then Abby and Jack. The sisters will take care of one another. Hug for the road? Jack tells Ashley he loves her. She knows he does - and loves him too. Ashley then quietly warns Nikki that her new husband's a lot more like Victor than she thinks. And with one sad look at the house, Ashley follows Traci to the car. Shall we get back to our party? Jack asks a sad looking Nikki (as the camera pans to mantel photos of Ashley and Jack).

Next: There's NO way Chris is filing a guilty plea on Paul's behalf. Then maybe he needs another attorney ... A drunk sounding Sharon tells Tucker that Victor says all the right things - but does whatever he wants ... You're friends with Eden - I need to to convince her to try hypnosis, Heather tells Daniel.

My Thoughts: Really Billy? Victor was 'determined' to post that video? You wouldn't think Victor would have to put much effort in - surely everyone would be interested in the exclusive video of the iconic billionaire marrying his former daughter in law (an infamous character in her own right) .... Kay will miss the 'darling' Ashley terribly? But understands after all she's 'been through'? (like Kay banning her from seeing Tucker in the hospital - while he clung to life after being run over?) ... Traci's gonna keep Ashley insanely busy in New York? How? By eating? And should one really use the 'word' insane with regards to Ashley? ... Who gets married on a plane? Victor - this is his second marriage in a row on the jet ... When leaving a message for Noah, couldn't Sharon have hinted that it was urgent that he call her back? ... Why does Victor keep stressing how 'different' Sharon's life will be - now that she's Mrs Victor Newman? Is it that much different from being Mrs Nick Newman? Or Mrs Adam Newman? Sharon's been a Newman for most of her adult life (and has always been married to money).... Rest assured Nikki - you are indeed the 'bigger' person (unless you're standing next to Traci). Meow - that said, she looks fantastic today ... Hard to feel any sympathy for Sharon these days - but Victor's a real a-hole for galloping off on her. It's their wedding day for cryin' out loud. Nikki's right - they DO deserve one another.... Victor galloped away from Odd that the guards at the gate didn't call up to let Victor know that Ashley was there... I've never been a big Ashley fan - but it's always sad to see a long time character exit.
