The Wedding

By Nicholas Sparks
Warner Books
Hardcover, Paperback, Audio Cassette (Unabridged), Audio CD (Unabridged) and Large Print Editions

Wilson Lewis is like most men his age. He's spent his whole life working hard but now he feels like he's also spent his whole life neglecting his wife.

The Wedding Excerpt
I certainly had no intention of falling for Jane when I walked her to her car on that rainy day in 1971. I barely knew her, but as I stood beneath the umbrella and watched her drive away, I was suddenly certain that I wanted to see her again. Hours later, while studying that evening, her words continued to echo through my mind.

It's okay, Wilson, she had said. I happen to like shy.

Sure, he always made sure she had food and a roof over her head. But she deserved so much more. More of him and his love.

Wilson's in-laws Noah and Allie Calhoun are the trophy couple he wishes he and Jane were. Noah and Allie's romantic journey can be relived in The Notebook.

As Wilson's daughter prepares for her own marriage, he's reminded of many memories with his Jane - from how they met to how she looks tonight. Wilson decides to plan the ultimate surprise.

He seeks out the help of his family and friends to pull off his surprise. His goal is to give Jane something she deserves - the husband she never had.

Bookworm's Briefing
The Wedding is the perfect book to curl up with in front of the fire or read while laying on the beach. Fans will enjoy reading about Wilson's dilemma, appreciate his guilt and be shocked (and envious) about his plans for his wife.

Nicholas Sparks fans will thoroughly enjoy The Wedding. If you haven't read The Notebook, it's a great companion read.
