Changes

Meanwhile, Gabe and Amy meet again and Amy tells Gabe the truth: she was engaged but called off the wedding because "he wasn't [Gabe]".  Seeing the star in the gazebo, they both recognize that Maddie would consider it a sign that they should see if they can reunite.  Together they continue to see each other and they also choose Maddie's outfit for the wedding.

The day of Travis' and Lauren's wedding goes off as planned with only one hitch: the heat at Glory's Place goes out, forcing the reception to be moved to Gloria's house.  While moving the wedding gifts to a spare room, Travis whispers something to Gabe; Gabe announces that Travis said he should propose to Amy, which he does (and she accepts).  They decide to hold their wedding then and there (with most of the guests present -- Amy's parents are only a short drive away, plenty of food, and -- most importantly -- a minister available to hold the ceremony).  Though not having rings to exchange, Maddie comes up with the idea of using her bracelets as a substitute.

But Gabe has one final surprise: he actually does have a ring with him.  The ring, though, is not for Amy, it is for Maddie.  Originally planning to give it to her as a simple Christmas gift (after Maddie was told by a boy in her class that she was too ugly for anyone to give her a ring), he decides to give her the ring and asks her if he and Amy could become her parents (which she agrees, though she still wants Linda to be in her life as a grandmother figure).  (The final scene in the book shows her adoption being finalized.)
