Tonight it is time for a wedding that has been a series in the making. Remember during the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries, Caroline (Candice King) declared that she and Stefan (Paul Wesley) were going to have a June Wedding? Well 8 seasons later, tonight is the night and you are cordially invited to watch it at 8p on The CW.
It is the second to last episode of the beloved show, and Caroline, Stefan and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) want to bring back Katherine once and for all. The only way to get her to come to them is to throw a wedding she would not miss. Caroline and Stefan are ready to say I do and Damon is thrilled to be the party planner. Granted he has more fun throwing a Bachelor Party for his brother and Bachelorette Party for his future sister-in-law.
The first party has the two brothers going to the cemetery to get Katherine’s bones. Giving Somerharlder one of his last memorable comedic scenes that is so Damon. Then, after he gets his brother beyond drunk, it is time for Damon to take him home to sleep it off. Once he is put to bed, Damon and Caroline have a touching heart-to-heart that shows he has been redeemed.
Now it is time for the wedding. Caroline’s daughters are there to walk her down the aisle, but is it safe for them? Is it safe for any of them? It’s Mystic Falls, so you know the answer. It is not.
Several blasts from the past will show up for Stefan and Caroline’s nuptials and not everyone will live long enough to see the big celebration. There will be deaths. Yes, more than one. Plenty of surprises. Lots of raw emotions and closures that are the perfect set up for next week’s series finale.
When it comes to the actual wedding, it is one for the television history books. Their big day is seriously so beautiful and romantic, I want to model mine after theirs. Minus all the death and destruction of course.
How does Weseley feel about tonight’s episode? At a screening for it earlier this week, he told us, “It’s funny, I heard about this June Wedding, for the first time, at Comic-Con. I had no idea what everyone was talking about. I still don’t really know what it’s about, but the fans were talking about a June Wedding.” Then he added, “So, when they told me we were going to have a June wedding, I was like, ‘Oh cool, we’re going to pay homage to the fans.’ It was amazing! Stefan and Elena were like the pair for so many years, and I never, in amillion years, thought Stefan and Caroline would end up being, I don’t want to say true love because I think true love can exist in many forms, equally as powerful, as a couple. It was pretty surprising to me.”
Did he think when he proposed to Caroline at the beginning of the season that they two would actually get married? He never put a stake in it as he revealed, “I did. I know how the show works, in that sense, if we hadn’t gotten married, it would be a real twist. Once they dangled that carrot, we were going to have to get married.
What a way to go out, living happily ever after. Or as long as you in the world of The Vampire Diaries.
