Weddings are always fun. What is your favorite part of a wedding?
What an adorable cover!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of a wedding is the presentation of the couple. All the happiness of the couple bursts out in their smiles.
sounds like an interesting book!
ReplyDeleteHmm. My favorite part? Haven't really thought about it, but I would say that I at least like these two parts--when the bride starts down the aisle and the groom is beaming, and the kiss (especially if they have waited till marriage).
You're right, Erica! That cover is cute--and I love the premise for the story. Sounds like a good one :)
ReplyDeleteI love almost everything about weddings, but I especially like everyone coming together to celebrate the happiness of a newly bound couple.
I love everything about weddings.....always enjoy attending one!!
ReplyDeleteThe kiss! :)
ReplyDeleteI love everything about weddings as well, but the most precious moment to me is watching the groom's face as the bride walks up the aisle toward him. Thanks so much for joining me here to celebrate my latest release.
