Think of the scene where young Mary and George are in Mr. Gower shop, Mary whispers "George Bailey, I'll love you to the day I die". He can't hear this as his ear she whispered into was damaged from saving Harry. At the Dance Mary was clearly excited to see George and you coukd tell by looking at her face. When George is explaining his wish where they throws rocks at the old Granville house, watch Mary's demeanor and attitude shift as she prepares to throw a rock. I think she had always wanted to stay in Bedford Falls while George eagerly wants to see the world. She wishes for the one thing she really wants, for George to stay a part of her life. She also reveals this during the honeymoon scene. George truly loved Mary and sacrificed his own wish to are the world to be with someone who he loves.

I just heard something interesting about this... Apparently when they filmed the rock throwing scene they had athletes on hand to accurately throw the rock to break the window. They didn't need to bother because Donna Reed broke it in the first take.

I heard it was a sharpshooter, but athletes makes sense. Apparently she was challenged by Mr. Potter to milk a cow on set, and won the challenge.
