Let’s see. Among the guests at the wedding of The Young and the Restless’ Billy Abbott and Sally Spectra are the guy who accidentally, fatally ran down the groom’s daughter, the woman with whom the bride’s ex cheated (as a bridesmaid, no less) and, of course, the best man, not only the groom’s brother but a past love interest of the bride’s.

Despite The Mustache being MIA, the ceremony is almost sure to be full of drama as well as emotion. In fact, the smart money is on Sally going into labor with her and Billy’s first child before the “I dos” are done.
