I loved The Wedding it gave some great insight into Noah and Allie's life together. Like for instance they used to dance in the kitchen together as the kids watched from the doorway, but how sad there son died when he was like 3. I hated that.

I know, I cannot believe their son died at such early age. And how Allie's reaction about the garden because it reminded her of the child they lost... that was something that I didn't expected from Allie because her character to me is always a carefree gal that can overlook any mishaps. But The Wedding certainly bring more of a better view when they're a married couples and the hardships they suffered from time to time.

Here's something that was just recently posted at Nicholas Sparks' website concerning how a movie version of The Wedding would be made. It was in the FAQ section:
How can they make a movie out of The Wedding, since Noah and Allie died in the film version of The Notebook?
Movie magic, of course, if the producers choose to go that route. Either (a), Noah miraculously recovers -- in which case, the opening scene would be one in which Noah is rushed, via ambulance to the hospital, (b), make Noah more of an imaginary character that resides in Wilson's mind, and uses "memories" of conversations gone by identical to those in the book. (c) Set The Wedding earlier -- in other words, BEFORE the film version of The Notebook and create a new story for Noah that's different from the one in The Wedding, or (d) Delete Noah's character entirely.
All of those options, while not strictly in line with The Wedding, are typical of the way Hollywood would choose to handle the problem. If asked, my own choice would be for choice (a).

I sure hope they make The Wedding into a movie. I can't get enough of Noah & Allie.

i think we lucked out on the notebook...none of his other adaptations have been all that great. so the movie could have a clean slate, so to speak, and wouldn't have to worry about ONLY attracting the viewers who saw the notebook, i think that the film makers would probably decide to delete the character of noah completely. i dunno, it just seems like the safest choice for THEM, money wise

Well, I would chose option A, too. Having elders in movies are a key to touch many hearts. For one, it will keep the theme of the swan and give viewers this aura that love is eternal. Due to the strong, intense love of Noah and Allie, they were able to meet again. A love so deep that even they can recognize one another in any sort of form or what world one lives in. Secondly, it helps Wilson to discover and learn about expressing his love. Because the affections shared toward Noah and Allie is so powerful, it helped Wilson into discovering what he was unable to discover and appreciate what he had missed. Random opinions.

ya, i read the wedding, and absolutely LOVED it...i mean it was kinda weird cause noah was still living, but if u haven't read it and u read the notebook, i would read it cause noah flashes back to his life with allie and their kids..haha, it's like getting a little more of the notebook!! but ya, i read the notebook, and in the end, they didn't die, but when they died in the movie, my friend and i literally shouted WHAT!!? THAT DIDN"T HAPPEN IN THE BOOK!! haha, needless to say people were giving us looks..haha, but ya, i don't think they could make a movie out of the wedding, i think it would ruin a good thing

My own personal thought is that if they made The Wedding without Noah in it, it would take away the essence of the story, that Wilson learns from Noah and is in turn able to save his marriage. Another thing that would annoy me is if Noah is alive in The Wedding, then it would ruin the perfect ending of The Notebook (the film) for me. I liked how they were "free" and "became birds" at the end. If I had to, I'd have Wilson have flashbacks of conversations he's had with Noah about Allie and everything. It would still basically be the same thing, only in memory. I don't know, it can be a very tricky thing. There's also the problem of the children. They were introduced in the film, but they weren't the same children as in The Wedding. However, I guess you could just add Jane in, because it really is only about her and Wilson. I guess we'll see what happens if they decide to make a movie!
