It's a Mandy Moore movie, where this guy is a big pain in the ass jerk, and then he gets caught doing something wrong and is "sentenced" to tutoring underprivileged kids, and to the Drama club (WTF the drama club??, oh well), both programs that of course, Mandy Moore is a part of. So they fall in love and then she tells him she has terminal cancer so they get married and she dies. The End.

ETA: That's some BS too about the honeymoon. I remember the episode of "Dinosaurs" where they talk about "The Mating Dance" that "should only be done in the confines of a loving, monogamous relationship, preferably marriage". If they're having a "commitment ceremony" they're obviously in a monogamous relationship (probably moreso then some people who are actually MARRIED), and she's going to die anyway, what's the difference if they actually get to have sex??? Come on mom...let her be a teen. Unless the guy is "saving himself" for his "real wife" later...in which case, he probably shouldn't have gone through with the wedding in the first place.

Guess it was more like a Walk You Didn't Remember

"the honeymoon -- a trip to New York City -- chaperoned by Nicole's mother"

I would think the mom is going because by most state laws the daughter is still a minor and can't cross state lines by herself legally. Plus there's the statutory rape thing as the boyfriend is 19. I somehow doubt the mom is going along to stop any sex from happening.

I just went back and re-read, and the boyfriend lives in their basement, so I guess all immoral arguments are kind of out the window anyway. You would think that this would appese the family that thinks she's being immoral, instead of them living together "in sin". Some people.
