For three years fans have been waiting to know whether Smithy accepted Nessa’s proposal after she popped the question at the end of the 2019 Gavin And Stacey Christmas Special.
And now it seems James Corden and Ruth Jones have given the game away after being spotted filming the final episode at The Tadross Hotel in Barry, Wales on Monday.
The pair were said to be filming scenes for a wedding reception – no doubt related to the wedding scenes being filmed last month.
While Smithy looked to be the groom in the earlier shots, there was no sight of a bride… until now.
The new pictures show Nessa and Smithy wearing matching gold bands as they party with friends and loved ones including, of course, Gavin and Stacey (Mathew Horne and Joanna Page).
Have we FINALLY learnt whether Nessa and Smithy got married? Ruth Jones and James Corden dropped a massive hint as they donned wedding bands while filming Gavin And Stacey
Nessa was dressed in a flowing black dress – a suitable wedding gown for her gothic style – that she teamed with knee high boots and fishnet tights.
Smithy looked dapper in a M&S blazer that he paired with trousers and a navy trainers.
Viewers have been eager to see if they will finally get the happy ending they had hoped for in the last ever episode, set to air on Christmas Day.
These latest images suggest that this will be the case.
However, the cast themselves have yet to confirm if Smithy and Nessa will indeed get their happy ending.
The cast recently confirmed that they had finished filming scenes on the famous Trinity Street, which acts as the backdrop for the homes of both Stacey and Gavin, her mother Gwen and uncle Bryn.
‘You haven’t seen anything because we’ve been indoors, which shows you’re true committed fans of the show and we hope that you won’t be disappointed on Christmas Day, when all will be revealed,’ Ruth told fans.
‘This is our farewell now to Barry and to Trinity Street, so you won’t be seeing us here anymore but we’ve had a wonderful 17 years, it’s been fantastic.’
James added: ‘Thank you very much to everyone, we’ll see you soon.’

It comes after it was reported that bosses were forced to implement extra security measures to keep the Christmas special plot under wraps after a huge element of the script was leaked.
The cast and crew have been filming the last ever episode of the sitcom, set to air on Christmas Day, in Barry – drawing hundreds of fans to the set.
Bosses are said to have ramped up security after a photo was taken of James, who plays Smithy, holding the script, which contained the plot detail, while filming in a department store.
After the setback, producers are said to have warned the rest of the cast to be careful, especially with filming bringing so many fans to Barry.
‘Everyone is excited for the return of Gavin, Stacey, Smithy and the gang so naturally interest is at an all-time high,’ a source told The Sun.
‘Every day fans are flocking to the filming sites in Cardiff and Barry Island to see the cast filming and take their own photos and selfies.
‘It’s a challenge trying to keep key storylines under wraps but the cast have been reminded to be on alert.’
The BBC declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
It comes as Gavin And Stacey fans were sent into a frenzy when the cast were seen filming a wedding scene for the much-anticipated final episode last week.
Making a surprise return to the set was actor Steffan Rhodri – who plays Nessa’s ex-fiancé Dave Coaches – casting doubt on whether Smithy and Nessa will tie the knot after five years of speculation.
He made his last appearance in Gavin and Stacey at the end of the third series when Nessa decided that she couldn’t go through with their wedding.
His surprise return will no doubt spark worry from fans that Smithy declined Nessa’s proposal.

In more Gavin And Stacey news, it’s been reported that the finale will see the return of Sheridan Smith as Smithy’s sister Rudi, with the actress spotted filming a surprise cameo.
The star played a larger-than-life character in series one and two of the hit show and was spotted filming their scenes last week.
A source told The Sun the actress stepped right back into Rudy’s shoes and it was ‘like no time had passed at all’.
The source added: ‘Sheridan was over the moon she could go back into the fold and her scenes are brilliant.’
It’s also been revealed that the cast is working on a behind-the-scenes programme to mark its final ever outing.
Barry Island was mobbed last week when the original cast returned to make the finale.
An emotional James told fans: ‘It’s all overwhelming, the fact that it’s the last time we’ll be here on the island. It’s wonderful. It’s the home of the show. It’s the centre of it really, and every bit of it you’re thinking: “God, I remember when we were here.”’
On the first day of filming, the cast shared a picture of a clapperboard with the caption: ‘The final episode of Gavin & Stacey started filming today. Truth be told, we’re a little bit excited.’

It will be the first episode of the BBC sitcom since the last Christmas special in 2019. That episode, which was watched by 12 million viewers, ended on a cliffhanger with Nessa down on one knee as she proposed.
The pair eventually marry, while their respective best friends Smithy and Nessa have a son, Neil, who is now 15 and will also return for the final ever episode.
Gavin And Stacey’s final episode will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
