My prediction too that Kevin and Madison end up together , and he gets down on one knee to boot. We will see!

While I completely agree Tess should have sucked it up for the bride, it is TV and Beth needed a win and it was heart-warming to see how that played out. What I thought was weird was that the very feminine dress just became somewhat edgy. It would have made much more sense if it became a pantsuit or something more masculine or androgynous. And, of course, Iām suspending disbelief that Beth could have modified the dress in that amount of time.
And it sounds like Iām in a minority of one here but (looking at this not through TV but through real life), Madison may not ever find ārealā love and now, with two kids, it could be even tougher. K and M do really care about one another, seem to work well together and love their family. In real life, at the age of 40 (Kevin) ā do we know Madisonās age?, Iām not sure that Kevin not being able to say heās āin loveā with her was enough to call the wedding off the day of the wedding. Having said all that, itās TV so my pragmatic perspective goes out the window.
While Iām picking on certain aspects of the episode, I actually really enjoyed it and am sad we have to wait until 2022 for the final season.

We all get the true arc of that storyline. Iāve read how many others in the show veer from reality, etc. Normally I just donāt care, but this one jumped the shark for me, thatās all.

Kate has two children and she found another mate. I suspect that Madison could also.

It is so crazy to think we have to wait until January 2022 to pick back up again! And then within a few months done!
Seriously, I think my fall-winter tv project will be to rewatch the first 5 seasons (if thatās possible on a streaming service). Really get refreshed and reminded before the final season.

I thought Madison wasnāt going to go through with it when we saw her playing the video where Kevinās asked about where he will be in the future and he says she knows he doesnāt want to grow up over and over again. He doesnāt say anything about seeing a future with her.
But I thought the scene where he tells her they should get married because āThis is real. This can growā --or something like thatāwas beautifully written and one of Justinās best acted scenes.He was making collage1ās point. And it was so sad when Madison said that it would be so easy to go through with it in part because his family was the closest thing sheād ever had to a family herself.
I donāt think it would be that hard for Madison to find someone else. The biggest reason people hesitate to marry others with children is IME that people donāt want to take on the financial burden, especially if they have/ want to have children of their own. In this case, it is clear that Kevin will support the children financially.
I also thought the fast-forward to Rebeccaās death was amazing in having a girl and boy play the twins who look so much like what you would expect the children of Kevin and Madison to look.
Oh, my gosh, the bridesmaidās dress I wore for my sisterās wedding was horrendous. This light purple thing that made me look like a barmaid in San Francisco in the 1800s. I never thought about protesting because it was my sisterās wedding.
What I hadnāt thought about was having to see the large photo of the wedding party hanging on a prominent wall in my parentsā house. I cringed every time I walked by it. Thank God they finally took it down a few years back!!

I was 11 or 12, and a junior bridesmaid in my uncleās wedding, a big fancy affair. I was a tomboy wearing a pink, sleeveless long dress that I hated. My hair was also curled for the event, which I also hated. The wedding and reception were held at the hotel where I was staying with my parents. After the ceremony I heading up to our room during the cocktail hour. While there, I stuck my head under the sink to get rid of the curls; there was nothing I could do about the dress as I didnāt have anything else to put on. Imagine my motherās horror when she saw me reappear! Luckily my hair dried quickly, but I thought my mother might kill me as she was all about appearances.

Iām telling your sister! 
Ha, thanks!
My mom is convinced that her sister deliberately picked the ugliest bridesmaid dresses so that she, the bride, would be the best looking one!

Malikās daughter, Janelleās mother lives in Boston, so if he were to go to Harvard, I assume they would parent together. Otherwise, his parent will continue to help like they do now.

I like this @toledo - what do we all desire for an ending - what addressed or resolved?
I donāt think Kate losing weight will happen. Clearly for Christy Metz this is a bridge she currently canāt or doesnāt want to cross for herself.
I SO much want to hear little Jacks journey.
Does Randall stay in politics?
I hope Toby had someone to be happy with too.
Beth and Randall together forever.
Spill the beans more on Miguelās ending place in all this
