The BBC sitcom Gavin And Stacey delivered a 90-minute emotional rollercoaster to fans, culminating in an ending that co-writer James Corden described as "I just wanted it to feel satisfying".

The finale began with a shock for viewers as a wedding unfolded, but not between the anticipated couple Neil "Smithy" Smith (James Corden) and Vanessa Shanessa "Nessa" Jenkins (Ruth Jones).Instead, the plot twist revealed Smithy was set to wed his pretentious girlfriend Sonia who had secretly joined the set to maintain the surprise element.The drama peaked when Smithy's mate Gavin intervened to halt the wedding mid-ceremony, leading to Smithy abandoning Sonia at the altar to prevent Nessa from leaving on a ship, setting the stage for their own nuptials.However, even the second proposal faced hurdles as Smithy encouraged Nessa to propose once more - echoing her move in the 2019 Christmas special - only for her to decline reports the Mirror.In a moment that tugged at the heartstrings of viewers, Smithy earnestly declared: "It's okay.

Nessa, wait! Look, I don't know what it is or why it is or when this thing that was nothing became something. And right now it's everything.

But it did. And I know it's been messy and not perfect. But that's because we're messy and not perfect. But I love you, Nessa.
