Note: I do not own this movie, any of the characters in it, or anything having to do with it. This is totally made up.
This is mainly a Margaret/Andrew story, but I will bring some of the other characters into it later on. Set
6 months after they first met, and will follow them throughout all the big moments in their lives.
Chapter 1
Sitka, Alaska--May 18th, 2011--1:30 p.m.
Margaret stood in front of the mirror in the room she was getting ready in at the barn. She was admiring herself in
her new strapless wedding dress and veil. This was going to be different, she thought. It was for real this time--it wasn't
a sham. In exactly 30 minutes time, she would be walking down the aisle and marrying her fiance', best friend, and love
of her life, Andrew Paxton. It seemed like only yesterday that he had proposed.
Flashback--New York, exactly 1 year earlier
Margaret stood in front of her closet, trying to figure out what would be the perfect outfit to wear on her date with her boyfriend,
Andrew. After all, tonight marked not only the 3 1/2 year anniversary of when they first met, but also the 6 month anniversary
of when they had started dating. She finally decided on a solid white full length halter dress with high heeled shoes to match. She had just
finished getting ready, when she heard the doorbell ring.
As she opened the door, she saw Andrew standing there, looking very handsome in an all black tuxedo, with a small red rose
sticking out of the pocket. As soon as looked at her, his jaw literally dropped.
"Wow, you look amazing...and so breathtakingly beautiful" he said, kissing her.
"Well, I must say you look pretty handsome yourself" she said, returning the kiss.
"So, shall we get going? We wouldn't want to be late for what, no doubt, is going to be an amazing night now, do we?" he asked. And
with that, he held his arm out, she took it, and together they headed out to the car, and over to the restaurant where they would start the
night off by having a nice, romantic dinner. She thought she was ready for anything, but little did she know that he had something even
bigger planned--something that would change both of their lives forever.
