As Claire and Charlie arrives to the end where Jack was, Charlie hugs and kisses Claire on the cheek, before shaking Jack's hand, and sat down next to Kelly.
"Hi, you look beautiful.", Jack whispered to Claire, who smiled at his words. The guests then sat back down as Claire gives bouquet to Hannah, so she could join hands with Jack and exchange wedding vows. Jack said his vows first.
"I, Jackson Kelly take you, Claire Nolan to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to love you, cherish you, cry with you and be there for you every step of the way.", Jack replied. Then, it was Claire's turn to say her vows.
"I, Claire Nolan take you, Jackson Kelly to be my lawfully wedded husband. I promise to love you, support you, cook for your favourite meals and make you happy every single day until the end.", Claire sighed. Then Tom came up and present the rings to his parents. Jack takes Claire's ring, while Claire took his.
"Good boy.", Jack whispered to his son. "Good job, baby.", Claire whispered to Tom, as Hannah escorts Tom back to his grandparents. Jack puts Claire's wedding ring on her finger and Claire did for same for him. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride!", the celebrant replied.
Jack grabs Claire and dips her down, took her by surprise. "Whoa!", she cried, as Jack swiftly dips her down. They share a kiss as their guests cheered and applaud for the newlyweds. Jack helps Claire back up and held hands in the air in front of their guests. The guests congratulates the couple before they all have a group photo together.
After taking group photos, Jack and Claire's families and guests headed to the outdoor wedding reception, whilst Jack and Claire took wedding photos by their wedding photographer. After taking wedding photos, Jack and Claire takes a quiet stroll on the beach at sunset.
"It's beautiful.", Claire sighed, as she and Jack are walking along the beach. "I can't believe this day had happened for us.", Jack sighed. "Me too. I'm glad we're married and share this day with our family and friends.", Claire sighed. They kiss as they walk up and headed to the reception.

Later, Jack and Claire cuts their wedding cake and soon Claire was about to throw her bouquet in the air to all unmarried women, who are attempting to catch it. Claire turns around and on the count of three, she threw her bouquet from behind, as the ladies tries to catch it.
Claire turns around to see who caught it and to her surprise, it was Hannah, who caught it with her hands. Claire gasp in surprise and smile with joy, to see her sister, holding her bouquet. Claire walks up to her sister and hugs her. "Oh my God!", Claire cried. Hannah smiles and hugs Claire.

The next day, Jack and Claire's families and guests check out of the hotel and load their bags into taxi cabs to return home. Jack and Claire stay behind, to enjoy their honeymoon in Hawaii. Tom was about to depart with Hannah and Chris.
Jack and Claire said their goodbyes to their son at the front entrance of the hotel "Be good for Auntie Hannah and Uncle Chris, ok?", Claire asked. "Yes, Mommy.", Tom replied. "Mommy and I love you so much and we'll see you when we get back.", Jack replied. Tom and his parents share a group hug before Tom joins Hannah and Chris as he jumps into the taxi cab.
Jack and Claire waves goodbye as Tom pops out of the window and gives his parents a blow kiss as the taxi drives off. That night, at their hotel suite, Claire was sitting on the balcony, looking at the starry night sky as Jack goes out to join her. "What are you thinking?", he asked. "Have you ever thought that we would never get off the island?", Claire asked.
"Sometimes.", Jack replied. "Well, I'm glad that we're both lucky that we both come from a wonderful family and have great friends who never gave up on us and I'm so glad that we're off of that island again.", Claire sighed. "Me too, I don't wanna go back there again.", Jack smiled. "Same.", she smiled as they share a laugh.
The couple look at the sky as a shooting star is flown across the night sky. Claire gasp as she saw it. "Jack, look a shooting star!", she cried, pointing out. "Wanna make a wish?", he asked. "Yeah.", Claire smiled. Moments later, they held hands.
"I guess we do have a happy ending after all.", Jack replied. "Yes, yes we do.", Claire sighed. Quietly, Claire rest her head on Jack's shoulder whilst he gently rest his head on her head, as they look at the night sky...
