The Young and the Restless stars Christian LeBlanc and Tracey Bregman served as witnesses at The Young and the Restless Wedding of a Lifetime of Charlene Lee and Willie Williams at the MGM’s condo-tel Signature.

Willie and Charlene were the winners of the top-rated soap opera’s dream wedding contest. Christian and Tracey play Michael and Lauren Baldwin on the CBS show. Charlene and Willie, who were flown here from the Bronx, were selected from 2,600 contestants who were narrowed down to 25 semifinalists, and then a final four. They won for their video describing their most romantic moment together and were chosen by Young and Restless stars Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil.

Charlene and Willie received an amazing package of prizes for their wedding in addition to their poolside ceremony, MGM Signature suites stay and round-trip flights and limousines. They were presented with their wedding bands and bridal gowns and given $1,000, plus a wedding dinner at Joel Robuchon’s restaurant. The couple were entertained by musicians from Cirque du Soleil’s O, and MGM's award-winning pastry team provided the wedding cake.

Our contributing photographer Erik Kabik was on wedding day duty and reported: “It certainly was a dream wedding. The happy couple just kept saying they couldn’t believe it all, but most important they didn’t forget their vows!”
