Jessica and Antonio Tie the Knot (SOD 11/14/06)

With Nash up at the altar as a groomsman when Antonio and Jessica walk down the aisle, the question everyone is asking this week is, "Which guy will Jessica actually marry?"

"It's so weird -- I thought everyone knew that Jessica and Antonio really do get married," reveals Bree Williamson (Jessica). "Maybe we're just all really good actors and everyone is just thinking there must be this big drama thing going on, but no, she marries Antonio."

The event doesn't go down without a fair share of drama, of course. It kicks off at Llanfair, where jessica is getting ready. Clint, Natalie, Viki and the rest of the family drop by to congratulate Jessica, and the bride-to-be has a little heart-to-heart with her mother.

"She has her prewedding jitters," Williamson sighs. "She says to her mom, 'I don't know if Antonio's going to love the new me like he loved the old me.' That's a big concern."

Later, Nash comes by and compounds that concern by insisting that Jessica postpone the wedding. Williamson previews, "[Nash] says, 'I know you love Antonio, but you're a totally brand-new person. You're not Tess and you're not Jessica, so you really don't belong with either of us yet because we don't know who you are and you don't know who you are.'"

Although Jessica takes a minute to think things over, and winds up late to the wedding, she does finally show up and says her "I do's." But not before she has one last chat with Nash at the altar. "She says to Antonio, 'I can't marry you until I sort something out.'" Williamson explains. "Then she has a private moment with Nash and tells him she's marrying [Antonio] because it's the right thing to do and she hopes he'll understand. Then they get married and it's really honest and cute."

Cute, yes, but far from the end of the story. "Why would she feel the need to talk to Nash at the altar?" Williamson asks. "She loves Antonio more than anything, but she also has feelings for Nash and her feelings aren't clear to her at all."
