pertaining to the movie A Walk to Remember. All of that belongs to Warner
Brothers and Pandora Productions. (Even though owning Shane West sounds
really awesome…()
Summary: Personally, I loved the movie and how it ended. It was beautiful, powerful and perfect. But, I got to wondering, what if Jamie actually survived her leukemia? What if Landon and Jamie got an extension on life that they should have had together? How are they going to spend their gift of life? This is my first fanfic ever, so please be easy on me! Thanks and enjoy!

(Takes place at the end of the wedding)
It's a rare occasion to see clear blue skies in Beauford so soon after winter. Usually, the sky is this pale, sickly gray color, due to those annual "April showers" that come down around here. At times, people forget where they are and think that they are in Seattle instead of North Carolina.
But, Mother Nature's gift was a beautiful one indeed that day. The dazzling April sunlight was streaming into the long, translucent windows, filling the church with a bright and warm glow that settled on all of the guests sitting in the pews. Their attention focused on the two young lovers standing at the front of the church, professing their love and commitment to the other. But, for these two, words weren't necessary. Their smiles said it all, radiating nothing but pure love and joy for one another.
She stood there in front of him, trying to keep herself calm enough and contained, as well as strong enough, to keep her bearings. *I can't believe it's happening. I am getting married to the love of my life*, Jamie thought as she looked into his sparkling eyes, feeling herself once more lost in the depths of his eyes, windows to the soul she felt she knew every part of already, even though she had only known him for a short time. It was a miracle, her miracle, the miracle she hoped to live long enough to see. She finally had gotten her wish.
It was a miracle in itself that she standing for so long. Ever since leaving the hospital, she mainly stayed in bed now and seldom exerted much energy picking up a glass of water, much less standing in one place for long periods of time. Her father suggested using the wheelchair during the ceremony, but Jamie contested against that notion. This was her wedding and she was determined to walk, not roll, down the aisle. But, just in case, he had said, the wheelchair was sitting in the back. Just in case she got tired, or too weak to stay up on her own. Just in case.
"Jamie, if you would repeat after me." Reverend Sullivan's voice cut through her thoughts, bringing her back to where she was supposed to be. "I, Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan … "
"I, Jamie Elizabeth Sullivan … "
"Do solemnly swear…"
"Do solemnly swear…"
"to take Landon Rawlins Carter …"
"to take Landon Rawlins Carter …"
"as my lawfully wedded husband…"
"as my lawfully wedded husband…"
"to love and honor, in good times and in bad…"
"to love and honor, in good times and in bad…"
"all the days of my life."
"all the days of my life."
"If I could have the rings." Reverend Sullivan said as Landon's father placed two simple gold bands on top of the open Bible. He blessed the rings and held out the Bible so Landon could pick up the smaller ring. Landon slowly reached for Jamie's hand and slid the ring on. "With this ring, I thee wed."
Jamie then took Landon's ring, took his hand and repeated her vow. "With this ring, I thee wed."
The Reverend then closed his Bible and beamed proudly to the congregation, his daughter and his new son-in-law. "Then, with the power invested in me by our holy Lord, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Landon needed no further prompting than that. He stepped in closer to Jamie, caressing and cupping her face with his hand, not caring that everyone he knew was watching his every move right then and there. To him, there was nothing more important in his mind than him and the woman standing before him in his arms. He leaned in to kiss her, but not before whispering to her, "I love you, Mrs. Carter, always and forever."
So, what do you all think? Should I add on? I write for the people, so feedback is greatly appreciated. It's only just begun…
