Fans of Full House had a major treat on June 5, 2025, when John Stamos and Lori Loughlin, beloved as Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky, reunited onstage in Los Angeles for a heartfelt homage to their iconic 1991 wedding. Hosted by co-stars Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin during their How Rude, Tanneritos! rewatch podcast live taping, the event was a nostalgic celebration full of laughs, stories, and enduring friendships.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
The venue? The iHeartRadio Theater. The hosts? Jodie and Andrea, who brought the cast together to reminisce about one of Full House‘s most unforgettable moments. The atmosphere was electric as fans relived the love story that stole hearts in season four.
Surprise Guests & Behind-the-Scenes Cameos
Joining the dynamic duo onstage were series creator Jeff Franklin, along with Scott Weinger (Steve) and Marla Sokoloff (Gia). Each shared their memories, adding layers of charm and insider insight.
A Wedding Dress with Real Meaning
Lori revealed that her character’s wedding gown was none other than her actual dress from her 1997 marriage to Mossimo Giannulli. The costume designer, Gina, made it happen—and Lori admitted the dress ended up “thrashed” after all the acting.
Headdress Heritage
And that ornate wedding headdress? Lori shared it originally belonged to her aunt. Despite how heavy it looked on screen, she assures it felt light—though it carried deep sentimental value.
Funny Parachuting Memories
John recalled entertaining moments on set, including a parachuting scene involving a friend from General Hospital portraying a tomato-loving sheriff with a bullhorn—adding a quirky twist to the wedding episode.
The Song “Forever” Explained
An emotional highlight: John revisited the Beach Boys track “Forever,” explaining its unheralded legacy and how he began performing it in tribute to the late Bob Saget, urging fans to cherish loved ones while they can.
Tear-Inducing Slideshow Moments
As they flipped through old photos, Lori laughed about seeing a baby photo of Becky—and discovering it wasn’t herself! The toddler image was hers, but the infant? A stand-in.
Moms on Set
In a sweet detail, both Lori and John’s moms appeared as extras in the wedding episode. Lori’s mom called the experience “terrible”—but definitely memorable—while John’s mom dove in wholeheartedly.
Chemistry That Sparked Off-Screen
John later reflected in his memoir how their on-screen bond nearly turned romantic. Though they didn’t end up dating because of life’s timing, he called their rapport “true friendship” and a model of deep connection.
A Friendship That Lasts
Though both went on to other marriages—John to Caitlin McHugh and Lori to Mossimo—their friendship has stayed strong. Their Instagram dances and public reunions show a bond that remains playful and loving.
A Cast Reunion to Remember
The event was one of the few full-cast reunions since Bob Saget’s passing in 2022. While not everyone was present, the gathering was filled with nostalgia, laughter, and behind-the-scenes warmth.
Why This Matters Now
Over three decades after first saying “I do,” this reunion reminds fans how enduring genuine connection can be—whether on-screen or off. It’s proof that some relationships truly stand the test of time.
