In the same time Edward came to Elinor to tell that he decided not to marry Miss Lucy, that she married his cousin instead, they danced in the ball previously, opening the path to Elinor. and he declares himself to her. Elinor cries of happiness and they go together to Marianne's marriage. They had a nice celebration and that's how the movie ends.
