I don't know, whatever the hell the house Gush and for some reason, all the Coopers seemed to live (did they forget that a Boardinghouse was attached to Company...probably)

 

All I remember is Reva standing in the doorway of Cross Creek yelling out, "Hey there Barbara Jean...oh Bubba, you all coot, hiya" to apparently people who were driving, walking by? None of the other SF characters besides Lewises attended so I thought it was boring, no intrigues no bombs going off in the wedding cake, just Jeva, which on their own didnt do it for me.

I think they were starting with televised soaps, IOW they were ignoring all those radio years, which as we know is totally WRONG.

Unfortunately this answer is less than helpful. Does anyone actually know when the heck the OP was talking about? I mean it matters. Phillip attacked that house with a piece of heavy moving equipment. A bulldozer IIRC.

This is a perfect example when people are critical of this era, suddenly facts do not matter. Well, that is wrong & everyone knows it. Facts actually DO Matter.

Other than the visually striking moment of Reva in her dress, I hadn't really remembered any of it either. On rewatch (because it's right around both Billy's and Vanessa's returns), it amazed me how downright corny it is. And yeah, with no Springfield residents we know attending (Dylan, KS's Mindy and Hamp are new) the Shaynes and the Lewises have to carry it on their own. Other than laying the groundwork of Dylan's conception, it's just hokem that drags out for an entire week.

Yep. Josh and Reva arrive at Cross Creek 7/10 and they actually marry 7/17. 

Yes, Pam Long. I understand having to get the most out of a location shoot, but this was the era of week long parties/events.

Oh my gosh - that wedding is my favorite of all time, maybe Steve and Betsy, As the World Turns.  I was so sad when Meg Ryan left.  As former he history - I saw a show tonight covering BTG and I thought they mentioned GL being on the radio and then TV.  And it will always hold the record of longest running from Radio to TV.
