After six seasons and numerous relationship hurdles, Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan finally get married in the sixth season finale of Netflix's 'Virgin River'.
How long into dating someone before you hear wedding bells? It's an age-old question with varying opinions. On ' Virgin River ,' it took six seasons and 64 episodes.

They want everlasting love, marriage and family and all of the happy ending. I think we walked a good balance of dragging that out long enough and teasing the audience long enough.' 'It's the moment people have been waiting for since they started watching it,' Breckenridge sai
