And after a growing romance between Bonnie and the town’s vicar Will, the season finale saw the couple wed in a surprise ceremony – after Will realized he loved Bonnie during a near-death experience.
The wedding came as a shock to fans, with actor Tom admitting it was hard to keep the on-screen nuptials a secret.
He previously told a TV insider, “We had a fake bride, and between scenes I was putting on my cassock, so it looked like I was officiating someone else’s wedding.”
Continuing: “Then we would bring Charlotte into the church, away from the photographers who came to take pictures of us while we were filming. We had as much secrecy as Marvel.
