Therefore, he buys all of the stuff Will bought for Annie. This gives Will the 50 dollars he needs in order to gain Annie father’s approval for them to get married.

Afterwards Laurey goes to Curly and tells him what just happened with Jud. He then asks for her hand in marriage. She accepts and they get married. The movie ends with the cast singing Oklahoma..
