The Flash season 3: Could a Barry – Iris wedding happen this season?
This is something that, at the very least, you have to question moving out of Tuesday night’s new episode “Attack on Central City.” In the closing minutes of the hour, we saw one Barry Allen do what he could in order to cement his love for Iris West and commit to a long-term relationship with her. Specifically, he got down on one knee and proposed! It was a powerful moment and an incredibly romantic gesture, but the show ended before we got the answer to the question so many were wanting to know.
As a result of that, we may as well ask the question now: Could we see a Barry – Iris wedding coming up on the show this season? First and foremost, we don’t even know for sure that they are engaged! There are some scenarios in which we can imagine Iris saying no. It doesn’t mean that this said no is forever, but there are some issues that could keep them from being together right now. For one, there could be questions regarding whether or not Barry is making this request out of urgency more so than because he wants now to be the time. There’s no doubt that he loves her, but if he is confident that they’ll defeat Savitar, there may also be some time for the engagement down the line.
The biggest reason we doubt the engagement is just because there’s been almost no buildup for it at all as of late. Hopefully, there will be as we get further into the season, or at least some more information regarding if Barry was thinking about marriage before the Savitar crisis first began.
If they are engaged, the next question is referenced in the title. Could they get married this season? Sure, but you can argue that it may be fast given that they were just then engaged. We’re someone who wants to see a WestAllen wedding as badly as anyone, and we do think that we will see Iris live through the season. Therefore, our feeling is mostly that this will be a season 4 storyline, and we’ll get a chance to see the planning and everything else play out then. Wedding planning can be a great, lighthearted story in the midst of darker times. These characters could use that given that there is probably some big threat coming in season 4.
