Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by patti in B&B, Extras
Ridge has been married 11 times to 3 different women! Good grief! He married Caroline twice, Brooke 5 times and Taylor 4 times (the one this week will make his 5th to Taylor). Let’s check out his previous times for “wedded bliss”.
- 1987 Caroline – Ridge’s first wedding to Caroline didn’t take, because her father Bill exposed Ridge sleeping with another woman right before Caroline walked down the aisle. A horrified Caroline passed out and was rushed to the hospital.
- 1990 Caroline – Despite Brooke showing up to try and stop the wedding – Stephanie nipped that in the bud – the second time around, Ridge and Caroline got it right. White doves and a beautifully built gazebo accented the fairy-tale wedding.
- 1993 Taylor – After the death of his beloved Caroline, Ridge grew close to her doctor, Taylor – much to Brooke’s chagrin. Brooke was too late to stop yet another wedding, when Taylor and Ridge exchanged vows the same day Brooke discovered she could be pregnant with Ridge’s child.
- 1994 Brooke – Brooke and Ridges Malibu wedding featured the bride arriving on the beach on horseback and a medieval them, complete with a turreted sandcastle and trumpeters. Friends and family surrounded them as they pledged their love after seven years of angst. Then Taylor, who had been presumed dead in a plane crash, returned, and that put the kibosh on things.
- 1998 Brooke – Thorne and Brooke teamed up to keep a pregnant Taylor and Ridge apart. To seal the deal, Brook pretended to be pregnant with Ridge’s child. She even moved their wedding up an hour so Taylor wouldn’t get there on time. En route, Taylor went into labor with son Thomas and Brooke and Ridge left on their honeymoon.
- 1998 Taylor – Ridge remarried Taylor after learning that Brooked lied about her pregnancy and subsequent “miscarriage”, and settled in to raise his and Taylor’s son, Thomas.
- 2003 Brooke Ridge finally married Brooke again after Taylor was killed by Sheila Carter, but he was presumed dead on their honeymoon and Brooke turned to his half brother, Nick, for sex and solace. When Ridge returned alive and Brooke ended up pregnant, the marriage was annulled.
- 2004 Brooke – Ridge wooed Brooke back, and the duo was delighted to learn that her baby was Ridge’s, not Nick’s. They remarried…only to have Ridge learn on Nick and Bridget’s wedding day that Taylor was still alive. Brooke and Ridge’s union was rendered invalid, and Ridge had to choose between is two “wives.”
- 2005 Taylor – Ridge and Taylor renewed their vows after Stephanie had a heart attack – later learning that Stephanie had faked the illness to get them to reunite. They eventually ended the marriage.
- 2009 Brooke – After Phoebe’s tragic death nixed their planned fall 2008 nuptials, Ridge planned a surprise, private ceremony for Brooke in their special spot on Point Dume in Malibu. He even arranged for a sand sculpture of their names encased in a heart and a bed on the beach. Unfortunately, Pam made a clerical error with their marriage license and, yet again, their union wasn’t legal.
