Celebrated Novelist Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk to Remember", "Dear John") tells wral.com that he doesn't think "The Wedding", his literary sequel to the best-selling novel (and film) "The Notebook", should ever happen.

The reason? The filmmakers killed off the character of Noah (James Garner) in "The Notebook". In the book world, the character returns for the follow-up novel.

"[The Wedding] was a sequel to The Notebook (novel), not a sequel to The Notebook (film)", explains Sparks. ''In the film, Noah dies, so it simply wouldn't work, since Noah is a major character in The Wedding''.

Here's the synopsis for "The Wedding" : Is love always worth the fight? It began with The Notebook... Wilson Lewis has always found it difficult to express his emotions. Now, with his thirtieth wedding anniversary approaching, he confronts the fact that he and his wife Jane have grown apart - and he wonders if she even loves him any more. As Allie and Noah's son-in-law, and with the memory of their fifty-year love affair as his guide, Wilson knows he must find his way back into Jane's heart. He still adores her - but is his love enough for both of them?

Sparks has written an unsold screenplay adaptation of his novel ''The Guardian''. He has sold screenplay adaptations of ''True Believer'' and ''At First Sight''. Films based on his books "Dear John" and "The Lucky One" are also in the works.
