Author's Note: Well here it is, the last chapter. Thanks to all who have read this story (my first). It's been a long run, but we've finally come to the end. It's a short chapter, but I think it wraps everything up, so I hope you enjoy. Thanks again, and keep an eye out for my other stories.

Chapter 24: It's a beautiful day

"I do." She looked into his eyes and saw everything she had been searching for in a man. Everything in their past, everything that had happened, good or bad, was over. They were together now. Nothing else mattered. Her happy ending was finally happening with the one man whom she would always be with in the end.

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Seth stepped on the cloth covered wine glass and the wedding party yelled, "Matzel Tov!" Seth grinned widely and lifted her veil, kissing her passionately. Summer was his wife. How long had he waited for this moment? Forever it seemed. He saw through his blindness and found what he was always meant to find. The one person he would spend every day for the rest of his life with. He couldn't imagine being without her. He didn't know how he subsisted for so long.

Sandy and Kirsten sat in the front row, looking at their son and his new wife with the breathtaking backdrop of the sea behind them. Marissa grabbed onto Ryan's hand as he dabbed her eyes with a tissue. It was beautiful. Everything had worked out in the end. Seth was happy and a new man. He found someone who made him as happy as his parents made each other. Kirsten furiously wiped the tears off her face. Her baby was married. It was just yesterday that he was running around the house in his underroos pretending he was Batman. Well, actually it probably was just yesterday, but whatever. He found his confidence and zest for life again. That made her proud. He looked so happy up there, holding Summer's hand. This was the way life was supposed to be. Sandy smiled warmly at her and kissed her hand.

"We did it." Summer whispered as the photographer snapped photo after photo.

"We did, I can't believe it. I'm married to the most gorgeous woman in the world."

"I love you." Summer grabbed her husband (Her husband!) and kissed him.

"I love you."

"I cannot wait until I have you all alone on the boat. Maybe we should sail to Japan instead of Tahiti, then we'll have more time all by ourselves."

"Ooh, I like the way you think, Mrs. Cohen!" She smiled, it had a great ring to it. He kissed her again as she took his hand. The music started and they smiled brightly at all of their friends and family. The couple ran down the gauzy tulle pathway towards the awaiting car. Their friends and family cheered, clapped and blew bubbles and threw rose petals at them. Finally after all these years, they had found each other. They were finally happy.

They were finally one.

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls, and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road, but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over, and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case.

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light, and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

Day…

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now . . .
Was a beautiful day…

The End
