The Wedding

Pages 165-276

                In this section, the book really turns around and goes in a direction you wouldn't expect.  It starts out explaining the plans of the final wedding details for the wedding they had planned for the upcoming weekend. While over the course of the entire book, Wilson tries proving to his wife that he still loves her and that he is the same hopeless romantic he was back when they first met. As last minute details are finally falling into place, Wilson plans a very special date for his wife Jane and at the end they realize that they are the same still people; the same lovers they had once been. All in all in the end the wedding that was supposed to be planning for his daughter Anna had really turned out to be a time to renew vows for Wilson and Jane. He managed to keep everything one big secret and just went with everything that came up. She was surprised and she knew right then and there that she was the luckiest woman on the planet.

                This book really did a great job of proving that love is still the same old love that everybody dreams about. Although not everyone is as fortunate as Wilson and Jane, they can still live a happy life together for many years. “You did say you’d marry me again, didn't you?” (Page 267) was the quote I chose because I think it brought the book to a great ending in such a way the reflected upon the whole entire reading. On the date that Wilson planned for Jane, he did find a way to pop the question once again and although she didn't think anything of it, it gave him the perfect opportunity. A chance to bring back lost memories, to reflect on the wonderful life they had been living, and most importantly a time to be thankful for each other.

                Although the image I have chose didn't come from the movie based off of this novel, I think it gives a great reflection and is very symbolic.  The people pictured are actual “ancestors” of the characters from the book “The Wedding” and not only does it show two hopeless romantics falling in love, but it shows that sometimes you just need to take a few minutes to catch up on lost time and realize how lucky you are. You only live once, and that one special person you  decide to spend the rest of your life with really can make an impact on your life.
