When Landon and Jamie arrived in the backyard, all of their friends were happily waiting to get the party started. Landon's mother and father were at a long table in the center of the yard, putting the final dishes of food on the table by the wedding gifts. All of the couples friends were talking with eachother, and Landon was surprised to see Eric actually socializing with Sally, one of Jamie's friends from the play.
Reverned Sullivan was the first to notice that they were approching, and stood up from his seat by a fountain shapped like a angel to greet them. That was when everyone took notice. Landon's mother was the first to reach them, and she hugged Jamie tightly.
"Oh Jamie, you still look so beautiful!" Landon's mother exclaimed. Jamie smiled and reluctently let go of Landon's hand to hug his mother back.
"Thank you Ms. Carter" Jamie replied polietly, and quickly took her husband's hand again. That was when Reverend Sullivan reached the two as well.
"Daddy!" Jamie exclaimed hugging him as well. After every hug the entire night she returned to Landon's side, never failing to spend every minute with him. While she was chatting with her father, Landon hugged his mother and helped her carry one last plate of food to the table.
When he caught glance of the wedding cake, it took the breath out of him.
*this is really it, Landon* he thought. *Your married....to Jamie Sullivan!* But when he thought this, he didn't cringe at the idea of loving her, like he had in the very beggining. All he did was grin.

Later than night, both Jamie and Landon were very surprised to see Belinda and Tracie walk through the gate to Landon's back yard, gifts in hand. They made their way to the married couple, after setting the gifts down with the others.
"Uh hi" Belinda said to the two, and Jamie smiled polietly.
"Hi Belinda, Tracie" Jamie said, and the other girl just nodded her greating. Belinda forced a smile.
"Hi guys" Landon said, looking at the floor. They had invited the two to the wedding and the reception, but they hadn't seen them at the wedding, and didn't expect them to come.
"Sorry we missed the ceremony, we were picking out your gifts" Belinda said, and you could almost feel the tension in her voice. But she was trying, and Jamie was greatful, and determended to make her feel welcomed.
"Oh don't worry about it, the important thing is that your here now" Jamie told her, pulling her into a hug. Belinda returned the gesture, but both girls were obvioulsy a bit uncomfortable.
"Yes, we're both glad that you guys are here. You hungry?" Landon said, gesturing towards the giant table, filled with food, gifts, and the beautifull wedding cake.
"No thanks" Tracie told him, hostelity in her voice. It was pretty clear that she wasn't to happy to be here. But Belinda was trying hard to make amends, and chatting with Jamie about her dress.
An hour later the newleyweds were sharing the first dance of the evening, and the first peice of cake minutes later. Everyone, even Tracie, was having a blast, and Dean joked that he was surprised there was any cake left, after Landon had been allowed to be in the same room as it for more than 10 minutes.
When the evening died down, and some of the guests were starting to leave, Landon noticed that Jamie was fighting to stay awake.
"Are you okay, baby?" Landon asked her, concerned filling his voice.
"Yah, I just gotta sit down" Jamie replied, holding Landon's hand while he led her to the table. As the last of the guests left with their congrats, Landon had one more surprise up his sleeve.
He picked up the now sleeping Jamie and took her to his car, and started driving to their new home. His parents and her father had all pitched in and gotten them a summer house, but Jamie was still clueless about it.
In 20 minutes they were there, and he was forced to wake up his Jamie. He hated to do it, she was sleep so peacefully, but he had to, and seeing the look on her face when she found out would replace any feelings of guilt for waking her.
"Jamie, baby, get up" Landon whispered, gently nudging her.
Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled. She smoothed down her hair, and Landon laughed, surprised that Jamie of all people would be worried about how she looked.
"Where are we?" Jamie asked, looking at the scenery. The house was still a bit off, surrounded by trees, and Jamie couldn't see it from where the car was parked.
"49" Landon replied simply, and watched as Jamie procsessed the information. He saw her settle on the confused look.
"Huh? 49?" Realization hit her. "You don't mean...." Jamie's smile lit up the room and she trailed off.
"Own a house" Landon finished, and smiled brightly as he heard Jamie's laughter. She quicky pushed open the door and raced out towards the clearing of the woods. Landon caught up to her while she was standing before the house, in awe.
"Oh gosh Landon, its...its beautiful" Jamie said.
Landon picked Jamie up and spun her around, opening the door, and walking over the threshold with his love. Her laughter could still be heard from outside the home.
