Wedding bells are ringing for GL’s Lawrence Saint-Victor (Remy) who is set to wed his fiancée Shay Flake on Saturday at a golf resort in Garrison, New York. "The place kind of decorates itself.

It's going to be nice and bright."

Among the 140 guests expected to attend are co-stars Yvonna Wright (Mel) and John Driscoll (Coop). "Everything's down to the wire!" says the groom-to-be. The newlyweds will celebrate their weeklong honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. "I can't wait," he adds.
