 The Wedding Chapter by Nicholas Sparks

It seems that Wilson's hard work at courting Jane again is slowly paying off thanks to his involvement in helping plan his daughters wedding. Wilson volunteered to get his in-laws old home ready for the wedding, and also agreed to arrange the catering. He knew by doing this he will have a reason to have longer conversations with Jane even if it was just discussing the wedding. Wilson missed talking to his wife Jane, and he blamed his absence in the marriage for that. When Wilson booked the catering on short notice with one of Jane's favorite restaurant, she was so excited she kissed him on the cheek. This kissed brought him back to memories when he and Jane were dating. He knew he had made Jane proud and this made him happy. Unfortunately, Jane's excitement didn't last long when they received a call from the hospital telling them that Noah (Jane's father) had suffered a fall and was in the hospital. All of Jane’s siblings as well as Wilson who has a close relationship with Noah headed to the hospital. The family is concern and upset not knowing if their father is going to be ok.

 The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks

Despite the shining example of Allie and Noah's marriage, Wilson is himself a man unable to easily express his emotions. He has provided well for his family, but now, with his daughter's upcoming wedding, he is forced to face the fact that he and Jane have grown apart and he wonders if she even loves him anymore. Wilson is sure of one thing--his love for Jane has only deepened and intensified over the years. Now, with the memories of his in-laws' (Noah and Allie) magnificent fifty-year love affair as his guide, Wilson struggles to find his way back into the heart of the woman he adores. Wilson realizes that Jane's stress over their daughter's wedding is going to make courting Jane more difficult than what he thought.

The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks

 

As Wilson reflected on their 30 years of marriage he continued to wonder what led their marriage to this point. They both felt awkwardness in the marriage but neither he nor Jane spoke about it. Wilson realizes that the problem in his marriage was due to simple neglect, mostly his. Placing his career above the needs of his family and taken marriage for granted was his big mistake. He also admits his lack of romance also played a part and that love must be sustained by actions. As part of his plans of courting Jane again, Wilson has been actively involved in his planning of his daughter’s wedding, cooking dinner for him and Jane, and spending more time listening to his wife. Jane now has something to keep herself occupied which is the planning of their daughter’s wedding, and Wilson uses this opportunity to spend more time talking to Jane. Jane and Anna have spent a lot of time making preparations for the wedding but they have not found a venue yet. Suddenly, Wilson suggested the perfect place for the wedding, Noah's house (Jane's parent’s house). When Wilson saw Jane's face expression, he knew she loved the idea.
