Melanie realises she didn't sign the divorce papers at the altar so she is still married to Jake. She ends up marrying him instead of her fiance.
Ghetto Angel
Visible crew/equipment: As Melanie is walking across the battlefield looking for her father she steps across 'dead bodies'. You can see tucked into the top of her left boot the battery pack for her microphone and the wires going up her skirt. (01:08:15)
Melanie Carmichael: You're the first boy I ever kissed, Jake, and I want you to be the last.
Trivia: Erin Vanderbilt, the woman that Andrew is shown marrying at the end originally had a bigger part, but test audiences misunderstood her relationship with Andrew before breaking up with Melanie, so all of Erin's scenes were cut except for that small bit over the credits.
Question: At one point, Melanie mentions that Jake got her pregnant several years ago. Was the baby stillborn or did she get an abortion?
Answer: She says something to the effect of "mother nature had other plans" leading audience to believe she had a miscarriage.
Answer: She had an abortion because she said it would have altered her future plans and admitted to feeling so ashamed.
Melanie did not have an abortion. When she's talking to Jake's mother, Stella Kay, at the bar, it's mentioned that Melanie had a miscarriage. Melanie felt ashamed because after losing the baby, she ran out on Jake and their marriage to pursue her own goals in New York.
