The question of whether Belly Conklin and Jeremiah Fisher walk down the aisle is the single biggest source of tension for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty, especially as we look ahead to Season 3. As of December 18, 2025, the short answer, based on the original source material, is a definitive and dramatic "No." Their journey culminates in an engagement, but the wedding itself is called off, marking a pivotal turning point in the series’ central love triangle.
The highly anticipated third season is set to adapt the final book in Jenny Han’s trilogy, We'll Always Have Summer, which details the tumultuous path to the altar that ultimately sees Belly make a life-altering choice. While the television series has taken some liberties with the plot, the core of the 'Jelly' relationship arc—an engagement, a shocking betrayal, and a cancelled wedding—is widely expected to remain intact to honor the book’s conclusion.
The Central Characters: Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad Fisher
To fully grasp the complexity of the "almost-wedding," it is essential to understand the roles and backgrounds of the main players in this iconic love triangle. The entire narrative revolves around Isabel "Belly" Conklin and her relationship with the Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, at the fictional Cousins Beach.
- Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Played by Lola Tung): The protagonist, whose coming-of-age story is the heart of the series. She is caught between her lifelong crush, Conrad, and her fun-loving, protective best friend, Jeremiah. Her journey is about figuring out which brother represents the future she truly wants.
- Jeremiah "Jere" Fisher (Played by Gavin Casalegno): The younger, more outgoing Fisher brother. He represents stability, immediate happiness, and a relationship built on friendship. His relationship with Belly, often referred to as "Jelly," is the focus of the second season and the start of the third book.
- Conrad "Con" Fisher (Played by Christopher Briney): The older, more brooding Fisher brother. He represents Belly’s first and deepest love, though their relationship is fraught with emotional distance and miscommunication. His relationship with Belly is known to fans as "Bonrad."
- Laurel Park (Played by Jackie Chung): Belly’s mother, best friend to Susannah Fisher, and a successful author.
- Susannah "Beck" Fisher (Played by Rachel Blanchard): The Fisher brothers' mother and Laurel's best friend. Her passing is a major emotional catalyst for the entire series.
- Steven Conklin (Played by Sean Kaufman): Belly's older brother and a close friend to both Fisher brothers.
The Engagement and The Wedding That Never Happened (Book 3 Spoilers)
The storyline that leads to the question "Do Belly and Jeremiah get married?" is exclusively contained within the third novel, We'll Always Have Summer. This part of the trilogy is set two years after the events of the second book, with Belly and Jeremiah in a serious, long-term relationship at college.
The Proposal and Family Reaction
The engagement itself is a response to a major conflict in their relationship. After a tumultuous period, Jeremiah confesses to cheating on Belly while they were broken up, though the show may adjust the timing and context of this event. In the book, to prove his commitment and regret, Jeremiah proposes marriage to Belly. Belly, only 19 years old, hesitantly accepts the proposal, convinced that marrying Jeremiah is the only way to secure their future and the life she wants at Cousins Beach. The decision is met with significant resistance from their parents, Laurel and Adam, who believe they are too young and acting rashly, especially given the recent loss of Susannah.
The Cheating Scandal and Conrad's Intervention
The actual wedding day is the setting for the climax of the love triangle. The pressure of the impending marriage, coupled with the unresolved feelings, causes everything to unravel. The crucial events that lead to the wedding being called off include:
- Jeremiah's Betrayal: While attending his bachelor party, Conrad overhears a conversation confirming that Jeremiah had cheated on Belly. This revelation shatters the fragile foundation of the engagement.
- Conrad’s Confession: Realizing his brother is about to make a mistake and that he cannot stand by and watch Belly marry the wrong person, Conrad finally confesses his enduring love to Belly. He tells her that he still loves her and that she shouldn't marry Jeremiah.
- The Cancellation: Faced with Jeremiah's infidelity and Conrad's heartfelt confession, Belly is forced to confront her true feelings. She realizes that her love for Jeremiah is not the forever kind and that she is still deeply in love with Conrad. Ultimately, Belly and Jeremiah call off the wedding before they reach the altar.
Therefore, while they get engaged, the answer to "Do Belly and Jeremiah get married?" is a decisive no—their wedding is canceled, and their relationship ends.
The Final Chapter: Who Does Belly End Up With?
The dramatic cancellation of the 'Jelly' wedding is not the end of Belly’s story; it is the catalyst for her true happy ending. The third book concludes with a time jump, showing the ultimate resolution of the love triangle.
After the wedding is called off, Belly and Jeremiah break up. She does not immediately get back together with Conrad. Instead, she takes time to focus on herself, her college studies, and her friendships, moving in with her friends and achieving a sense of independence. This period of personal growth is crucial for her to understand what she truly wants outside of the drama of the Fisher brothers.
Belly and Conrad's Long-Awaited Union
The epilogue of We'll Always Have Summer reveals that Belly and Conrad eventually find their way back to each other. Their reunion is depicted as a mature, settled love, free from the teenage angst that plagued their earlier attempts. The story concludes with Belly and Conrad getting married.
In a final nod to the enduring, albeit complicated, family bond, Jeremiah attends Belly and Conrad's wedding. The scene shows that while the romantic relationship between Belly and Jeremiah is over, the deep familial connection and friendship between the three of them—Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah—has been repaired and they have all moved on to a peaceful, new chapter. This ultimate "Bonrad" ending is the one that fans of the books have anticipated will be the conclusion of the Amazon Prime Video series.
