Who was watching the wedding through the binoculars?

The only other person I can think of who has a connection with Michael and Lauren would be Michael's ex Christine (if I remember correctly she was also an attorney like Michael). Could Christine possibly be either Catherine's long lost daughter or Ryder's mom. This is just a thought.

I think it was Ryder's mother. He has not hear from her and does not know where she is. I can not think of who would have something to do with all three.

I also think it was Ryder's mother. I've been trying to think of who she might be, if it is another character from the past. Your idea that she has something to do with Michael and Lauren makes sense since she wanted Deacon to target the Baldwins. I suppose Isabella MIGHT be old enough to have a son Ryder's age (especially in Y&R where age is just a number that can be changed at will), but I wouldn't think of her as the type to be connected with the Deacon plot. I definitely can't imagine it'd be Christine. Could Sheila Carter possibly be going to be resurrected?

I think it is Ryder himself. Ryder is lying and I have a strange feeling that Ryder is not related to Kevin at all. I think Deacon gave Gloria the extra money. I have a feeling that Ryder has something to do with Amber's past. I am trying to figure out who wants to hurt Lauren. The wedding itself was beautiful. I wish that Phyllis would realize that Daniel and Amber love each other.
