Now twenty years later, Meg is engaged to a very successful lawyer and Meryl is thrilled to be planning her wedding. Amy is not so happy her sister is getting married. Meg has only known her boyfriend for a year, while Amy has been living with hers for four years. Jo, the youngest sister, is madly in love with her girlfriend. On the night of Meryl's dinner party to meet the in laws, Amy surprises everyone and announces her engagement. Now Meryl has not only one marriage to prepare but two. Add to all of this, Jo is planning to marry Toby. You see, her girlfriend decided to marry someone else.
Meryl is beside herself. Hugh has just lost his job at the university. Hugh was trying to help a young girl who deserved to be in college, but had cheated on an exam. To top this off her mother is having a lot of problems. What is a mother to do when THE WEDDING SISTERS all are planning weddings?
First let me say THE WEDDING SISTERS is a delightful book. Jamie Brenner nailed it when it comes to planning a wedding.
Right now I am planning my niece's wedding. Two years ago, I planned my other niece's wedding. While the first one was a breeze, she was so easy to please. The second one not so much, she is my little bridezilla. Both my sisters have passed away and I am trying to do what they would have done for their daughters.
Jamie Brenner gave me some great insight to what is behind the scene of planning a wedding. It is hard enough to plan one. I can't image planning three at the same time. I really loved how she showed all the hard work that goes into the planning. Three girls, three different tastes. Jamie shows the stress level that a mother goes though, I wonder if she has planned a wedding or two.
I also loved how Jamie Brenner describes not only the dresses they have picked out, but also, the scenery. THE WEDDING SISTERS is a great book, really loved it. Hopefully a sequel to show how the girls and Meryl are coping.
Book Summary
Meryl Becker is living a mother's dream. The oldest of her three beautiful daughters, Meg, is engaged to a wonderful man from one of the country's most prominent families. Of course, Meryl wants to give Meg the perfect wedding. Who wouldn't?
But when her two younger daughters, Amy and Jo, also become engaged to celebrated bachelors, Meryl has to admit that three weddings is more than she and her husband, Hugh, can realistically afford.
The solution? A triple wedding! At first, it's a tough sell to the girls, and juggling three sets of future in-laws is a logistical nightmare. But when Hugh loses his teaching job, and Meryl's aging mother suddenly moves in with them, a triple wedding is the only way to get all three sisters down the aisle. When the grand plan becomes public, the onslaught of media attention adds to Meryl's mounting pressure.
Suddenly, appearances are everything - and she will do whatever it takes to keep the wedding on track as money gets tight, her mother starts acting nutty, and her own thirty year marriage starts to unravel.
In the weeks leading up to the nuptials, secrets are revealed, passions ignite, and surprising revelations show Meryl and her daughters the true meaning of love, marriage and family.
Jamie Brenner's The Wedding Sisters invites readers to the most unpredictable wedding of the year.
