A Wedding Fit for a Queen

"I was never more sure of anything" Steve Burton says with romantic certainty at his January 16, 1999 wedding to the love of his life, Sheree Gustin. The attractive couple exchanged vows in a church overlooking the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by many of his castmates, including Kimberly McCullough, Anthony Geary, Tyler Christopher and Rebecca Herbst.

"It was a kind of winter-wonderland wedding," Burton says. "There were white lights in the trees and white roses every where. It was beautiful."

From the moment he proposed to the day they got married, Burton never had the jitters about the life changes he was about to make. Instead, his reaction was more about feelings. "I wasn't really nervous. But the whole wedding day was emotional. We did our pictures before instead of after the ceremony. So the photographer had me wait with my back to Sheree so it would be the first time I would see her in her dress. That was a nerve-racking experience. That, and when she walked down the aisle. We had a five-piece orchestra with two singers and four trumpet players. So when she came down the aisle, those trumpet players really blew. It was like the queen approaching".
