Wedding Rings
The Wedding Rings are worn by all four pack members following the double wedding in S05E24. Luther and Pawbert's rings are engraved with "Stay"—the word that defined their relationship from the beginning.
Luther and Pawbert's Rings
The Proposal (S05E23)
Luther proposes to Pawbert in S05E23 ("Golden Again"), revealing that he had created a Pinterest board ("For you, I made a Pinfurrest board") to research flowers and fairy lights for the perfect moment. The ring he presents contains the word "Stay" engraved inside—the promise Luther made in S01E13 ("Stay"), now made permanent.
"Stay" Significance
The word "Stay" carries profound meaning in the series:
- S01E13: Luther promises Pawbert he's staying; first use of the word as commitment
- STAY Notebook: Pawbert's journal counter-scripting Milton's "you're dead"
- Throughout: "Stay" becomes shorthand for choosing presence over abandonment
- Wedding Rings: The word engraved inside, worn daily
The rings transform a verbal promise into a physical constant.
Nick and Judy's Rings
The Proposal (S05E23)
Nick proposes to Judy in Los Zangeles during the same episode. Judy's engagement ring features a purple amethyst in silver setting with tiny diamonds—chosen to match her eyes and complement her coloring.
Partnership Symbolism
Nick and Judy's relationship predates the series (established in Zootopia 1 and Zootopia 2), and their rings represent the formalization of a partnership that had already weathered significant trials, including their reconciliation at the Weather Walls in Z2.
The Double Wedding (S05E24)
The pack marries in a double ceremony at Zootopia World Celebration Gardens, officiated by Winddancer. The ceremony represents the culmination of the series' central themes:
- Found family becoming legal family
- Promises made permanent
- The pack's bond formalized
The series ends with Luther and Pawbert asleep in their bedroom at Pawthorne Mansion—the green sweater draped over a chair, watching over them.
Significance
The wedding rings represent:
- "Stay" Made Permanent: Luther's promise, now engraved and worn daily
- Pack as Family: Four individuals legally bound to each other
- Series Resolution: The happy ending earned through five seasons of growth
- Name Change: Pawbert takes Luther's surname, becoming "Pawbert Pawthorne"
Current Status
All four rings are worn daily. Luther and Pawbert are married; Nick and Judy are married. The pack lives together at Pawthorne Mansion.
