Quick answer: A Las Vegas wedding for Williams and Eleanor is not a confirmed Black Doves plot point. It is the very specific future Gabrielle Creevy and Ella Lily Hyland have publicly campaigned for: white tuxedos, cowboy boots and a ceremony that feels as gloriously unconventional as the assassin couple themselves. Their suggestion gives fans a playful glimpse of what the actors would love to see next, while the Season 2 finale leaves the characters at the beginning of a new relationship rather than at an announced wedding.
Spoiler warning: This article discusses the developing relationship between Williams and Eleanor, including their Season 2 declarations of love and first kiss.
The Vegas wedding idea came from the actresses themselves
The cowboy-boot wedding fantasy has a clear source: an official Netflix Tudum conversation with the two performers. Asked about what might happen after Williams and Eleanor finally acknowledge their feelings, Gabrielle Creevy did not offer a cautious, vague answer. She said the pair were “really pushing for a Vegas marriage” and imagined them in white tuxedos and cowboy boots.
Ella Lily Hyland had her own styling idea. Rather than putting Williams in a completely new look, she suggested that Williams could keep the outfit viewers already associate with her while Eleanor wears the white tuxedo. Creevy then elaborated on the picture, adding a short fringe and cowboy boots to Eleanor’s imagined look. It is a funny, vivid proposal, and it sounds like the kind of visual gag this show could make work.
There is an important distinction, though. This is the actors pitching a future they would enjoy, not Netflix announcing a wedding storyline. Their enthusiasm is real; the ceremony itself remains a wish, not a confirmed event in the series. The difference makes the idea more fun, not less: the performers are inviting the audience to imagine what these two might look like when the job finally gives them a moment to celebrate something other than survival.
Why Williams and Eleanor’s relationship has caught on
Their appeal is not simply that two skilled assassins might fall in love. It is the unusual way their connection develops. Williams, played by Ella Lily Hyland, is dry, controlled and difficult to rattle. Eleanor, played by Gabrielle Creevy, is more openly expressive, funny and disarmingly direct. Their differences create comic friction, but the show gradually reveals how naturally they work together.
Netflix’s interview with the actors describes their bond as a partnership that grew beyond the original plan. Creator Joe Barton initially imagined Williams as a revenge-driven character. When Hyland was cast, he developed Eleanor as a new role for Creevy. The chemistry between the performers helped turn the pair into a team whose scenes could carry both action and emotional story.
Hyland has described Williams as someone discovering that she genuinely wants connection. Creevy, meanwhile, says Eleanor finds a rare sense of being understood with Williams. In the interview, Creevy describes Williams as “home” for Eleanor: a person who sees her clearly and understands her humor. That is a more substantial foundation for a relationship than a run of flirtatious one-liners.
Their dynamic also avoids making either woman a simple romantic reward for the other. They remain capable, strange, sometimes reckless people with their own habits and contradictions. The romance works because it grows out of an existing partnership rather than replacing it.
From gunfire confessions to a first kiss
Season 2 does not give Williams and Eleanor a conventional candlelit confession. Their feelings surface in the middle of danger, where the show’s comedy and violence collide. Williams struggles with jealousy as Eleanor dates someone else, and the emotional pressure eventually pushes her to say what she has been trying to keep under control.
In Episode 4, Williams admits that she loves Eleanor while they are under fire. The delivery is characteristically awkward and funny: she qualifies the confession before arriving at a more definite answer. In Episode 5, Eleanor returns the feeling during another dangerous situation, and the two share their first kiss. The show makes the moment romantic without pretending that either character has suddenly entered a safe or ordinary life.
That sequence matters to the wedding conversation. The characters have only just crossed the line from partners into an acknowledged romance. They have not yet had time to work out what being together means when they are not on a job. A wedding would be a huge leap, which is exactly why the actors’ Vegas pitch feels like a joke with genuine emotional appeal.
Why a Las Vegas ceremony fits their personalities
A traditional, carefully choreographed wedding might be the least likely celebration for these two. Their relationship has developed in the middle of professional chaos, and their humor tends to be blunt rather than sentimental. Las Vegas offers a setting that matches that energy: bright lights, an impulsive decision, a little theatrical excess and no expectation that the couple should behave like anyone else.
The white tuxedos and cowboy boots are also a neat visual shorthand. They make the imagined wedding feel playful rather than solemn. Creevy’s version of Eleanor in a white tuxedo, with a short fringe and boots, suggests a bride who would rather own the room than follow a dress code. Hyland’s suggestion that Williams could stay in her familiar clothes is just as telling: Williams might be willing to commit, but she does not need a costume change to prove it.
More importantly, the idea lets the show preserve the characters’ individuality. A wedding does not have to sand down their edges or turn them into a conventional couple. The fun would be seeing them make a public promise while remaining unmistakably Williams and Eleanor.
The real question is what happens after they choose each other
The more interesting story may not be the ceremony itself. It is what commitment would mean for two people whose work depends on risk, secrecy and the ability to leave quickly. They are partners in a profession where trust is practical as well as emotional. A romantic relationship could make that trust stronger, but it could also create new vulnerabilities.
Williams has spent much of the season discovering that she is not as emotionally detached as she once appeared. Hyland told Tudum that love has made Williams warmer and more willing to let people in. That shift is significant because Williams’ coolness has often looked like a survival strategy. If she allows Eleanor to matter this much, she may have to accept that another person can hurt her in ways a professional rival cannot.
Eleanor faces a different challenge. Her openness is part of her appeal, but it can also leave her exposed. Creevy has spoken about how frightening it can be for the characters to let someone close when they have not had much nurturing or family support. A lasting relationship would ask Eleanor to trust that the connection will still be there after the immediate danger has passed.
That gives a future season plenty to explore before anyone needs to book a chapel. Can the two maintain their professional rhythm while becoming more honest about what they need? Can they disagree without turning every argument into a tactical problem? And can either of them imagine a future that is not organized around the next job?
What the cast has actually said about the future
Neither actor claims to know exactly where the characters go next. In the Tudum conversation, Hyland describes them as being in a new chapter marked by uncertainty. Creevy says she has noticed Williams becoming warmer in Season 2, but the pair do not present a wedding as a settled plan in the story.
That uncertainty is useful. It leaves the writers room to decide whether the relationship becomes steadier, more complicated or both. The Vegas idea can be treated as a playful possibility without turning it into a promise that the next season must fulfill. Fans can enjoy the image of the white tuxedos and cowboy boots while still being curious about the less glamorous work of building a relationship between two people who spend their days in danger.
Our view: the strongest version of this storyline would earn the wedding rather than rush toward it. Give Williams and Eleanor time to figure out what partnership means when the guns are down. Let them have a few ordinary moments, a disagreement that is not life-threatening and a chance to choose each other when there is no immediate crisis. Then, if the series eventually sends them to Las Vegas, the cowboy boots will feel like the payoff to a relationship that has grown into something durable.
