Kinney added: “I hope they get as much out of it watching as we did shooting it. It was great. We had a lot of fun.”
Fans of the NBC series have been waiting for years to see Kinney’s character find his happily ever after, especially after Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) joined the cast during season 4 in 2016. The TV couple got married in season 9. Despite their ups and downs, the couple have been preparing for a fiery wedding all season.
