"The Wedding"

I am so glad to be back, so glad to be reading with Adriane again...so glad to be blogging again about our books....can you feel my excitement all the way in Korea, Adriane??!?!?

So back to the important stuff, the BOOK! This has been an awesome book so far and has inspired me to think outside the box and really think about the relationships in my life and how much I take for granted. The story starts out by Wilson forgetting his 29 year Anniversary with Jane, and even with subtle reminders she gives all evening. Then it happens, she tells him he forgot and he is crushed wondering what went wrong......what is inspiring instead of just trying to fluff it off like most men I know would, he decides to take a look of what happened to the last 29 years and how they got to this point. He makes changes to himself and wants to be a better man and husband, not only for her but for himself.

He has an awesome father-in-law, Noah who has given him the inspiration to want to change and treat people the way they should be treated. So he sets out to get his wife to fall in love with him all over again. We are not sure exactly what he is up too, but his daughter announces she is getting married the exact day that would of been Wilson and Jane's 30th Anniversary. So the plans begin for the wedding that is only a few weeks away, and Wilson's plans...whatever they may be continue on.....

The story continues and so do the plans for "The Wedding"...we have continued on and I can't wait to see the rest of what is going to be the best 30th Anniversary ever, that I am sure, along with the best wedding a father could give his daughter.

Happy Reading!

WE ARE BACK!!!!

"The Wedding"

By: Nicholas Sparks

From Publishers Weekly:

Sparks's 1996 debut novel, The Notebook, was a fast and easy read that sold millions upon millions of copies. Other bestselling love stories followed (Message in a Bottle; A Walk to Remember; The Guardian), but Sparks's fans have from the very beginning eagerly anticipated a sequel to the romantic tale of Allie and Noah Calhoun. The wait is now over. Attorney Wilson Lewis has been married to Noah and Allie's daughter, Jane, for 30 years. Wilson and Jane have raised three children and lived a satisfying and prosperous life in the bucolic town of New Bern, N.C. After forgetting his anniversary, Wilson realizes that the passion and romance have gone out of his marriage and fears his wife no longer loves him. Being a methodical man, he decides to embark on a yearlong program to renew his romantic ties to his wife, seeking out the advice of Noah, who now spends his days in a retirement home feeding a swan he is sure is the reincarnation of his beloved Allie. In the midst of Wilson's machinations, his daughter Anna announces she is getting married. The upcoming wedding provides Wilson with the opportunity to bring his elaborate plan to fruition. Sparks tells his sweet story competently, without sinking too deeply into the mire of sentiment; a gasp-inducing twist comes at the very end. Satisfied female readers will close the covers with a sigh and a wish that a little of the earnest, too-good-to-be-true Wilson might rub off on their own bedmates.

It's so great to be back reading our books again!!!

Happy Reading!!!
