The beloved BBC series Gavin and Stacey concluded with a heartwarming and surprising finale, featuring long-awaited resolutions and emotional farewells.

It was a bittersweet moment for Gavin and Stacey fans on Christmas Day as the BBC series really did come to an end. Nessa (played by Ruth Jones) and Smithy (James Corden), who have had an on-off relationship since the beginning of the series, finally tied the knot - and it's safe to say they definitely gave Ross and Rachel a run for their money.

And let's not forget that Smithy and Nessa's romance wasn't the only shocker; what about Gwen and Dave Coaches? That definitely wasn't what I predicted at all, but it was about time Gwen found love at long last. As for the proposal and the ending, it couldn't have been more perfect.
