As NCIS: Los Angeles enters its 14th and final season, one question looms large in the minds of fans: Will G. Callen and Anna Kolcheck finally walk down the aisle? After years of ups and downs, close calls, and reconnections, a wedding between these two beloved characters would mark a perfect, emotional milestone—and a fitting send-off for the series.
Here’s everything we know (and what we’re still hoping for) when it comes to a potential Callen-Anna wedding.
From Complicated Beginnings to Something Real
Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Anna (Bar Paly) have never had an easy road. Their relationship began with undeniable chemistry, but circumstances—from their respective traumas to Anna’s complex family ties—have kept them apart as often as they’ve brought them together.
Callen’s lifelong struggle with abandonment and identity made intimacy a challenge. Meanwhile, Anna has her own emotional baggage, being the daughter of Arkady Kolcheck—a charming yet morally ambiguous figure with a knack for drawing trouble. And yet, despite the odds, Callen and Anna have always found their way back to each other.
Over the years, they’ve gone from cautious allies to committed partners. Their bond has deepened through shared missions, emotional vulnerability, and unwavering loyalty. Now, with the series approaching its conclusion, fans are hoping that wedding bells are finally on the horizon.
Is a Wedding Coming in Season 14?
While CBS has remained tight-lipped about specific plot details, both Chris O’Donnell and Bar Paly have hinted in interviews that Callen and Anna’s relationship will be central to the final season.
Writers have a history of threading personal stories with major missions—and Season 14 seems poised to do the same. With only a limited number of episodes left, time is running short for a wedding to happen. Still, producers know how important this couple has become to the show’s legacy, and a wedding would be the ultimate payoff for long-time viewers.
Why a Wedding Would Mean More Than Just Romance
A Callen-Anna wedding would be about more than just tying the knot—it would be about emotional closure. For Callen, a man whose childhood was defined by instability, secrecy, and loneliness, marriage would represent a powerful choice: to stop running and finally build a future.
For Anna, who’s never had a traditional life or safe foundation, marriage could symbolize stability, trust, and hope. Together, they’ve both changed—and a wedding would reflect the growth they’ve worked hard to achieve.
It would also fulfill one of NCIS: LA’s deepest themes: the power of chosen family. And what better way to end the series than with Callen, the show’s perennial lone wolf, creating a family of his own?
Could There Be a Twist Before “I Do”?
Of course, nothing in NCIS: LA comes easy. A last-minute mission, a blast from the past, or an enemy targeting one of them could delay or even derail the wedding. The final season is juggling multiple story arcs, including Sam’s new life challenges, Kensi and Deeks’ journey as parents, and unresolved agency business involving Hetty.
There’s also Callen’s own lingering demons. He’s come a long way, but old habits die hard—and fans wouldn’t be surprised if some pre-wedding doubt or crisis throws him off balance. Still, it’s precisely those emotional complications that could make a wedding, if it happens, all the more meaningful.
How the Wedding Would Impact the Team
A wedding wouldn’t just change Callen and Anna—it would also shift the dynamic among the NCIS: LA team. Callen has always been the brooding, lone soldier, but marriage signals a softer side. It would show his readiness to settle down and embrace life beyond the badge.
The team—Sam, Kensi, Deeks, and others—would likely rally around the couple, reinforcing the show’s emotional throughline: they’re more than just coworkers—they’re a family.
We could even see other characters reflecting on their own futures. Might it prompt Kensi and Deeks to reevaluate their next chapter as parents? Could Sam make a decision about his post-NCIS life? A wedding could be the catalyst for a string of emotional goodbyes and full-circle moments.
The Legacy of Callen and Anna
At its heart, NCIS: Los Angeles has always been about resilience, connection, and carving out love and loyalty in a chaotic world. A wedding between Callen and Anna would honor that legacy.
It would offer longtime fans a reward for staying the course through 14 seasons of missions, betrayals, and heartache. It would remind us that healing is possible—and that even for someone as guarded as Callen, love can be the ultimate mission accomplished.
Conclusion: Will the Vows Happen?
So, will we see Callen and Anna say “I do” before the credits roll on NCIS: LA?
The signs are pointing to yes—but even if the moment doesn’t happen exactly as fans imagine, one thing is certain: their story will leave a lasting mark. Whether it’s a traditional ceremony or an unconventional expression of commitment, the journey of Callen and Anna has already become one of the most defining relationships in the show’s history.
Whatever happens in those final episodes, fans are ready to celebrate—and say goodbye—to a love story that took its time, but was always worth the wait.
