Nothing Eric said really worked and he had to accept that Stephanie wouldn�t go to the wedding.

When Eric had left, Bridget stopped by. She asked Stephanie to come, not for Thorne or Brooke � but for the future generations of Forresters as they needed her. That had Stephanie thinking, but said she couldn�t go anyway. But a little later in Brooke�s bedroom (where she was getting ready for the garden wedding), Stephanie showed up to talk to her.

They talked and somehow, Stephanie accepted that Brooke would marry her second son. And they HUGGED!!! (Didn�t see that one coming!) And then Bridget walked in and was thrilled.

Steven Logan entered and decided to go down again� Everyone was wondering why he came down without the bride. And everyone was stunned when they saw Brooke and Stephanie walking down the aisle together!!

Stephanie handed over Brooke to a very grateful Thorne and then took her seat next to Eric.

And so the wedding started. The minister spoke and read from the bible. Then it was time to lit the unity candle. Brooke and Thorne had decided to let each one of their parents to lit it together. Beth Logan went up, but as Eric was about to get up � Stephanie stopped him and did it herself. Another surprising moment. The two former rivals lighting a unity candle together! Then even smiled!!

�Casta Diva� was played and the couple exchange vows and were pronounced husband and wife.

When Brooke and Thorne returned form their honeymoon, they brought a gift to Stephanie with them. (I think it was something handpicked in a jar).

Brooke expected to be liked by Stephanie, but turns out Steph hadn�t changed her mind just because she went to the wedding. Well, Brooke was intent on changing that. She and Thorne had Eric & Stephanie over for dinner. Brooke had ordered in since she wasn�t such a great cook. Turned out to be a surprisingly good evening.

The highlight of the evening had to be picture time. Thorne brought the camera as Stephanie tried to object. As Steph and Brooke was posing for a second picture, Brooke playfully kissed Stephanie on her cheek and Thorne got Stephanie�s surprised look captured.

A few days later, Brooke and Stephanie decided to go up to Big Bear together. An advice from their psychiatric. (They were in therapy together to straighten up their relationship). That day just happened to be Stephanie�s birthday. (Another few hilarious scenes with these two). They had been told to say the word �pleasant� instead of throwing insults at each other. And that word was very abused that evening!!
They decided to chop wood themselves instead of buying it (now, can you picture these two chopping wood? Hard, isn�t it?) They discussed on who of them was gonna chop and who was gonna hold the wood� They decided Stephanie chop and Brooke hold. Before Stephanie raised the axe, she assured Brooke she had never done this before! Brooke decided not to hold afterall and that they should probably drive down and buy some wood. Stephanie again raised the axe and hit the wood as Brooke was surprised. (It was hilarious!!)

After dinner they started arguing afterall. Brooke�s nighty was the problem. Can you believe she wore a teddy!! Brooke wondered what the problem was and couldn�t understand why it would bother Stephanie. (Brooke, it would only remind her of you sleeping with father, son and the other son!!) They got into it about all that and Brooke decided she would leave.
When Stephanie checked her room to see if Brooke had left, she found a gift Brooke had prepared for her. It was a photo album. There was pictures of Stephanie�s life; her parents, childhood friends, herself as a baby, Eric & Stephanie, their children and grandchildren. Stephanie was very moved by the gift as Brooke returned to get the gift. Stephanie thanked Brooke for all the trouble she went through to make it.

They went through it together as they came to Brooke�s favorite picture. The one with them at Brooke & Thorne�s wedding. Brooke and Stephanie hugged.
