The Y&R spoilers recap for Tuesday, May 17, 2022, brings Mariah Copeland and Tessa Porter’s heartfelt wedding vows. Oh, happy day. Even a surprise guest in the form of Summer Newman Abbott didn’t ruin Mariah’s happiness.
Mariah (Camryn Grimes) declared Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) an alchemist — everything the latter touches turns to gold. Of course, it wasn’t always that way, but certainly, Tessa’s future and career seem bright. Tessa also said heartfelt vows giving voice to all that Mariah means to her. This is the first time things went right for Mariah in a relationship. Now they’ll start their family together and enjoy some happily ever after (hopefully).
The two said their “I wills,” and exchanged rings with the help of Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) and Crystal Porter (Morgan Obenreder). Then Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) pronounced them married, and they kissed to a large round of applause. Let the after-party begin!
Summer (Allison Lanier) showed up at the Abbott mansion, and despite packing light, she needed some help getting in the door. Luckily for her, Allie Nguyen (Kelsey Wang) was there to help her roll it in.
The two got to know each other and remarked about how tough it is on Kyle to learn that Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) was alive. Then she invited Allie to go to the wedding, which she was late for. Allie said she wasn’t comfortable going, but Summer insisted.
Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) announced the brides as they shared their first dance. Tessa and Mariah marveled that they did it. They were deliriously happy. They accepted congratulations from their guests, and Mariah promised to dance with everyone before the evening ended.
Elsewhere, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) knew that Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) was thinking that Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) would’ve loved it and Sharon readily agreed that was indeed what she was thinking. Nick noted both Rey and Cassie Newman (Camryn Grimes) were there enjoying it alongside them.
Kevin and Chloe Fisher (Elizabeth Hendrickson) marveled at the fact that the brides could legally get married when it wasn’t even legal a few years back. An ode to the power of love.
Noah Newman (Rory Gibson) and Crystal caught up, and she complimented him on the decor. He asked Crystal to dance, and she accepted. Then, Summer and Allie showed up, so Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) welcomed her “Super Girl” home while Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) greeted Allie, complimenting her on the dress. Then, Jack took his granddaughter around to introduce her to everyone.
Kyle and Summer caught up while Diane looked on from the shadows. Later, Nick and Faith hugged Summer. Then, Summer gave Mariah her congratulations, and the redhead was not quite sure of the sentiment. After a couple of catty comments, Summer told the brides how she’d changed through motherhood and marriage, and she wished them the same.
Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) gave Phyllis a what for over her relationship with Jack while Jack introduced Allie to the brides. Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) and Abby Chancellor (Melissa Ordway) also talked with Genoa City’s newest Abbott.
Phyllis noticed Diane, and she did not look happy to see her one-time nemesis at the wedding. Then, she went to tell Jack about the unexpected guest. Phyllis assured Jack that she could take care of Diane. Phyllis had everything under control.
Kyle saw his mother, and he confronted her. Kyle wanted the wedding to be about the brides and not Diane. He asked her to leave. Diane begged for the chance to say hello to Summer, though.
Kevin stepped up later and he gave a beautiful toast to the brides. After that, Mariah and Tessa bemoaned their tame celebration, and they decided to change the tone of the event, inviting everybody out to the dance floor for a groovy good time.
