Pack The Tissues! General Hospital’s Maurice Benard Can Stare Down Any Mobster, But Officiating His Baby Girl’s Wedding Has Him Terrified
Maurice Benard is terrified to officiate his daughter Cassidy’s Friday wedding, and GH fans are already handing out survival tips.
MAURICE BENARD IS SWEATING BULLETS OVER HIS BABY GIRL’S WEDDING
TL;DR: Maurice Benard, who plays Sonny Corinthos on GH, revealed on Instagram that his daughter Cassidy Benard is tying the knot on Friday and that he will be officiating. He is bracing for a flood of tears, and fans are already sharing survival tips.
A Mob Boss Meets His Match
Maurice Benard has played Sonny Corinthos through shootouts, betrayals, and a lifetime of Port Charles chaos, but one assignment has him rattled. The actor shared a sweet snapshot of himself with his daughter, Cassidy Benard, announcing that she is saying her vows on Friday and he will be the one presiding.
His fear boils down to one thing: officiating, and the tears he expects to flow while he does it. He is asking fans to wish him luck.

The Comment Section Came Prepared
Fans wasted no time. One commenter who once led a ceremony for their own eldest son admitted getting the words out was a struggle, then predicted Maurice Benard would be misty-eyed no matter who stood at the front. Another suggested keeping tissues close at hand. Kelly Thiebaud, who plays Britt Westbourne, was also on the like list.
Port Charles Could Learn A Thing Or Two
Over on screen, Sonny’s own family could use a wedding-sized dose of joy. Dante Falconeri got ordered out of the house, Gio Palmieri is heading for the door, and Justine Turner has walked away from the relationship. Maurice Benard’s real-life household sounds a whole lot warmer.
Happy Tears Are Officially Mandatory
Whatever happens at the altar, Maurice Benard has a lot of love waiting on the other side of those tears, and Cassidy is about to have a day to remember.
