Wedding Attire: Hope wore a $35,000 dress. Lee Smith - who was the designer at that time - flew to Paris to buy the material. The dress was all hand done, and hand beaded.
Pre-Wedding Events: As a reward for apprehending The Dragon, Bo and Hope were treated to an all-expenses-paid wedding by a British royal. As friends and family arrived in England for the ceremony, Bo and Hope were detained for debriefing by the authorities. Concerned that they wouldn't make it to their own wedding on time, Bo stole a milk wagon for the two to travel back to Shane's estate in. On the way to the church and running late, Bo's limo was stopped for a traffic violation. Unfortunately, the officer recognized Bo as the milk wagon thief and arrested him. Handcuffed, Bo escaped and "borrowed" a horse. By the skin of his teeth, he arrived in time to marry and serenade his beloved "fancy face". On the day of the wedding, Hope wrote a letter to Bo.
The Ceremony: Bo sang "Love Between Us" to Hope. They recited this wedding poem, which they also said during their symbolic Oak Alley wedding. They also recited these vows
Reception: Bo and Hope missed their reception, because Emma (under hypnosis of the Dragon) attempted to kill Bo and Hope.
Honeymoon: They were arrested in their hotel room as Bo was about to carry Hope over the threshold and they spent their wedding night in adjoining jail cells. Turns out Bo had stolen a milk truck to get him to the church on time.
Status: The pair remained married until Hope's "death" in 1990. After it was revealed that she was alive, Bo asked her for a divorce, since he loved Billie. The pair was divorced in late 1994 or early 1995.
