This chapter begins with the same words as a Prologue: "When I was seventeen, my life changed forever." Because Jamie agrees to marry Landon but has little time left, frantic preparations begin.
Reverend Sullivan officiates the wedding; Landon's dad serves as his best man, as is the Southern custom, and the emotional gap between them has now disappeared. And as in Jamie's vision of her wedding, the church is packed with guests. Wearing the white gown from the Christmas play, Jamie finds the strength to walk down the aisle with her father. It is slow going, but in the eyes of Landon and all the assembled guests it is, indeed, "a walk to remember."
Fifty-seven-year-old Landon reflects on that day, telling us that he now believes in miracles.
