Soap Stars Courtney Hope and Chad Duell Wear Red for their Steampunk Themed Wedding

It's official: #TeamDope (Chad Duell and Courtney Hope) are now married! The couple celebrated their nuptials wearing red as part of their steampunk-themed event. Find out all you need to know, including who attended and the song played for their first dance.

Congratulations are in order for soap stars Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, “The Young and the Restless”) and Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos, “General Hospital”) who tied the knot on Saturday, October 23 in Malibu, CA surrounded by friends and family, including several co-stars from each of their respective soaps. The wedding’s theme was a mix of gothic, victorian, and steampunk with the bride and groom both wearing red as shown in images shared across social media by invited guests.

“Thank you to everyone that came out last night to celebrate @duelly and me. We love you all so much, ” said Hope in a post on her Instagram stories. She used the “skull” and “red rose” emojis. She added, “And thank you guys for committing so hard to our Goth theme! The amount of black nail polish, guy [eye] liner, chokers, corsets and canes were more than we could’ve asked for.” She ended the post with two “clapping hands” emojis.

On Valentine’s Day, Duell popped the question to Hope. She shared the news on Instagram the next day, saying, “Yesterday was a good day.” Using a smiling face and ring emojis, she referenced being “happily engaged.” She further stated, “Forever with this man is a dream come true.” She used the hashtag “umHellyes.” 

On his Instagram page, Duell said of engagement, “I’m one lucky dude.” He used the hashtags “shesaidyes” and “engaged” along with the “heart” and “ring” emojis.

Duell and Hope met at a party in 2016 courtesy of Duell’s former “GH” co-star Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan Corinthos). We started talking about music, agriculture — real things,” Hope said of their relationship in a joint interview with Soaps In Depth. “And at parties in L.A., that’s not uncommon.” Duell said to the publication of their initial meeting, “I wanted to hang out with her but part of me knew I would end up dating her. I guess I was scared.” Thankfully, Hope gave him a final chance and now they’re happily married.

Congrats to the happy couple!
