Synopsis: Sarah is a wedding planner hiding a rather inconvenient truth - she doesn't believe in love. But as the confetti flutters away on the June breeze of yet another successful wedding season she finds herself agreeing to organize two more events, on the same day, and only two months away. And while her celebrity bride is all sweetness and light, the other bride, Sarah's own sister, quickly starts driving her crazy with her high expectation and very limited budget. Luckly, Sarah is aided in her seemingly impossible task by two best friends, Elsa, an accomplished dress designer, and Bron, a multi-talented hairdresser. All three are very good at their jobs, but romance doesn't feature very prominently in any of their lives. As the big day draws near, every moment is spent preparing for the weddings, and they certainly havn't got any time to think about love, or have they?

Review: I really wasn't expecting great things from this novel and actually thought that it would be quite silly. It was cute with more substance than I initially expected. I enjoyed it.

My favorite part was the British language and humor. Or shall I say, "humour"? It did read differently with the use of British English phrases and words than it had if it were written in American English. It was fun.

The characters were easy to relate to, but overall the plot was convenient (for the author) and the ending predictable, but still, enough substance to be worth my while. This is just a fun read.
