Saturday after Saturday, her mother Helen, her sister Ciara and her best friend Tess are being dragged along hunting for dresses for the bride and the bridesmaids, which proves to be no easy task.Amy's little pink wedding planner is getting fuller and fuller of lists, photos and notes and wanting the best for her eldest daughter, the mother of the bride does her best to assist and help. Until there is a sudden turn of events...With great insight and wisdom the author writes beautifully about what a wedding is really about. About love and family life, ups and downs, for better and worse.A wonderful book, difficult to put down.

Hope we wont need it again

i really enjoyed this book even though it is not my type of read.it really encapsulated all the trials and tribulations that can go along with planning the big day.i really felt for both the prospective bride and groom as they were swept along with the arrangements whether they wanted them or not. will read this author again.

nice book but having read 3 of her now Im a little bit fed up as they are quite sammy

I choose this rating as this tale is one I think most people can relate to. Heart warming and every true. Full of brilliant stories of friends lives and their true friendship. Again this is a great read and highly recommended

Lovely easy reading Irish novel in a similar vein to Maeve Binchy. Lovely characters you want to know what is happening. A book to leave you with a smile on your face.

This is second book by this author I have read and really enjoyed both

Keeping this book to read on holiday, so cannot really comment on it just now. But if it anything like her previous books it will be a good read
