While studying abroad in Spain, a 21-year-old girl from Chicago exchanges love letters (real letters) with the man of her dreams in Oregon who even sends her a cassette tape of himself playing his guitar and singing for her.
A German couple sings in choirs together. The husband gives his last choir/guitar concert before being diagnosed with a tumor.
Dec. 18, 1999:
The young couple marries. The groom sweeps his bride off her feet, playing his guitar and singing for her. Everyone thinks they're perfect for each other...and crazy for getting married one week before Christmas. They do not care. Finals are over. Their pictures are beautiful with snow on the ground.

The not-so-young-anymore couple with 3 children is now living in Germany and thinks maybe they really were crazy for getting married at such a busy time of year. They miss the guitar they left in The States and plan on looking for one as soon as they get a chance, maybe for Christmas.
Then, they meet a German couple. The woman pushes her husband in a wheelchair. He can understand everything people say, but cannot speak. The wife discovers that the younger man with the funny accent can play the guitar (probably better than he can speak German), but has left his in a faraway land.

After a busy day, the couple laughs about not buying each other gifts. But then, he pulls out his "new" guitar. This time, it is raining outside, and no one else is watching, but the picture is so beautiful.
