What You'll Learn
Will Hetty Lange be at the wedding?
Fans of the show were eagerly anticipating the return of Linda Hunt as Henrietta "Hetty" Lange for the wedding of Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks. In November 2018, Hunt issued a statement explaining her absence from the beginning of Season 10, in which she thanked fans and promised to return later in the season. The actress had been recovering from a car accident.
Hetty was shown to be aware of the growing attraction between Kensi and Deeks by the end of Season 3. As the NCIS Operations Manager, their romantic partnership became a point of discussion and concern for her, but she ultimately showed her support of the relationship.
While it was unclear if Hetty would be able to return in time for the wedding, she was listed as a cast member for the episode. It was speculated that her return may be kept as a surprise for fans.
Unfortunately, it was later revealed that the surprise visitor Deeks receives on his wedding day was not Hetty. However, one fan praised Hetty's entrance and statement in the episode, so it appears she did make an appearance.

Details of the wedding dress

Kensi's wedding dress is described as "gorgeous" and "high-neck". Despite the glamorous dress, Kensi's character gets involved in some action, and she damages her dress in the process. Actress Daniela Ruah, who plays Kensi, said:
> 'I actually asked for that. I said, "We have to have Kensi fighting in the wedding dress."'

Deeks' wedding day jitters
It's wedding day jitters for Deeks as he suddenly feels that he has ''conned' Kensi into loving him and that there might be someone better for her out there. He shares his jitters with Sam and Callen, who reassure him that he is Kensi's 'goof'. Deeks also finally opens the box Kensi gave him in season 4, which contains spring-loaded novelty snakes and a key. The key opens a locker in the armoury, inside which is a tiny manilla envelope.
The wedding venue is stormed by a small mob of stone-faced strangers, who turn out to be a group of dissenters in Anatoli Kirkin's organisation, who are scheming to make a power grab. Nell, however, spots Anatoli and whisks him to safety. Sam and Callen neutralize the interlopers one-by-one.
Despite all the drama, the wedding goes ahead. Kensi makes her way down the aisle in a fashionably torn gown, with bruised knuckles and Hetty officiating the ceremony. Deeks' wedding day jitters seem to have disappeared as he and Kensi exchange heartfelt vows.

The box Kensi gave Deeks
The box was finally opened in the episode "Till Death Do Us Part" on the day of Deeks and Kensi's wedding. Kensi instructed Deeks to open the box, and he frantically searched for it until it was found in the armoury. After six years, Deeks finally opened the box and found pop-up snakes and a key. Deeks believed the key was a symbol, meaning he had the key to Kensi's heart.
The contents of the box were a closely guarded secret, and even the actors themselves were kept in the dark. Eric Christian Olsen, who plays Deeks, described the reveal as "game-changing". Kensi told Deeks that the box contained everything he had ever wanted, leading to much speculation among fans. One theory was that Kensi put in a memento, always believing they would end up together.
The box also held a deeper meaning for Kensi and Deeks' relationship. In a blog post, a fan speculated that by giving Deeks the box, Kensi was opening her heart to him and showing him her true self. The fan interpreted the act of opening the box as a metaphor for Kensi letting Deeks meet her halfway and take a deeper look into her heart.
The box played a significant role in the long-awaited wedding of Kensi and Deeks, adding to the surprises and action-packed moments of the episode.
