They held hands and walked down the aisle, joined together forever. As they
walked out of the church and to the limo, their friends and family showered
them with rice.
Jamie took Landon's hand as they got in the limo and drove to Landon's father's house. They chose this as the spot for the reception because the house was nice and big, and it had a very nice backyard.
Landon was a little upset that they weren't going to be able to live together for a while, because they still had to get a house for themselves. With all the commotion going on lately, they decided to wait a little bit and worry about the house later. But Landon was so excited about having married Jamie that he didn't really seem to mind about the house just now.
The limo got to the house and Jamie took Landon's hand as they got out. They walked through the house and to the backyard where already some people, including Landon's parents and Jamie's dad, were waiting. Landon couldn't wait to give Jamie her surprise. But he wanted to wait just a little bit.
So they went around and said hi to their friends and family, accepted congratulations from people, never parting but always staying together. But after saying hi to a lot of people, they decided that it was time to cut the cake. It wasn't a very big cake. And they only had one, not two, since they didn't have a lot of guests. It was a three-tier chocolate cake with white icing, and a bride and groom on the top of course. Landon's mom was the one taking pictures. Since she used to take photography Landon and Jamie thought it would be okay if she took the pictures instead of a photographer.
She also wanted to take some more pictures of Jamie and Landon together. So they stood against the cherry-brick wall of the house, under the pretty flower arch that Sally had put together. She was very into the arts and was happy to make something for them. It was her present to them, and they thought it looked great in the yard.
Landon wanted to give Jamie her present. The one he had been working on for a while. So he took one of the chairs and set it down, apart from all the guests. He took her hand and motioned for her to sit down in it. She looked at him oddly, but did as he said. It reminded her of the time he took her to the state line. She was so happy. She loved Landon so much, but she was upset because she knew that there time together was limited. But she didn't want to think about that now. She looked at Landon as he said, "Jamie, I have a surprise for you. I hope you like it." He pointed to his dad, who turned on the stereo. They had a band that played, but they knew this was coming so they didn't play.
The music started, and Jamie was curious about what Landon was going to do. She wasn't really sure, but she couldn't wait to see. Knowing Landon, it would be something very special. He always loved to pet and spoil her and do special things like this for her. But he had never sang to her before, and he had never really sang in front of anyone, except Jamie, but when he sang with her he wasn't really trying. And now he was really trying. She was shocked as he raised the microphone to his lips and began to sing:
My gift is my song And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind That I put down in words
How wonderful life is While you're in the world
Jamie was so excited. She loved this song! But what she loved most was that Landon was the one singing it to her. As soon as he started to sing, everyone was quiet and listened to him. No one moved, or barely even breathed while he sang. Eric and Belinda, Dean and Sally were all stunned. This was a side of Landon Carter that they had never seen before.
Sat on the roof and kicked I off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting But these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Everyone was stunned at Landon's beautiful voice, even Jamie. She had heard him sing before, but never like this. When she asked him to sing, he didn't really try, he just joked around. But she never imagined that he could sound as beautiful as he did.
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
"I love you," he mouthed to her as the music played. Then his strong voice came in again.
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind That I put down in words
How wonderful life is While you're in the world
Landon finished the song, and then he kissed Jamie, just like he did in the play. Everyone clapped loudly as he finished, telling him it was beautiful and he had a great voice.
After the song ended, Landon's dad shut the stereo off and the band began to play again. Landon helped Jamie up, and people put their drinks down and started to dance on the wooden floor that Landon's dad had put together for them after they decided to have the reception at his house.
Landon took Jamie's hand and led her over to the floor. Holding her close, he whispered to her, "Did you like that?" Jamie nodded. "I loved it. You have the most incredible voice Landon. It's really beautiful." Landon blushed a little. "if you say so."
After hours of eating, drinking, and dancing, darkness began to fall and people began to leave. Landon's mother wouldn't let him and Jamie clean up. So Landon and Jamie went upstairs to change into the clothes they had brought with them while their parents cleaned up the rest of the reception.
They got changed, and Landon noticed that Jamie looked a little tired. "You tired sweetheart?" he asked her. She nodded, "A little. I haven't been up for this long in a while." "Come on, I'll take you home and you can go to sleep," said Landon. They went downstairs and they thanked their parents for a wonderful day. "Jamie and I are going home, I'll see you later," said Landon to his mom.
Landon drove back to Jamie's house and they went upstairs to her room. Jamie put their bags on the floor and shut the door quietly. Landon was still standing in the middle of the floor, waiting to see what she was going to do. "You want to go to sleep?" he asked. She came closer. She shook her head. "Not right now," she said. She kissed Landon and took off his jacket, setting it on the floor on too of their bags. Jamie lay down on the bed, and Landon lay down next to her. She shivered a little, so Landon got up and took the blanket out of the chest under the bay window and covered Jamie with it. He lay there, watching her, as she closed her eyes. "Sing to me, sing me my song," she said, her eyes still closed. Landon cleared his voice and sang:
My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
By the time that he was done singing, Jamie's eyes were still closed. "Jamie?" he whispered. "Jamie?" She was sleeping, and he didn't want to wake her up. So he got up, making sure she was fully covered with the blanket. But as he was covering her up, she woke up. "Don't go, please stay here with me," said Jamie. Landon came back over to the bed and lay down next to Jamie. She rolled over next to him, and he wrapped his arms around her and sang.
My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
