Every Bride Needs a
Groom is a cute, often funny story of a young woman named Katie who has
been dreaming of her wedding day since she was a little girl. Growing up in a close knit family and a small
town where change is frowned upon, Katie wholeheartedly expects her boyfriend
to propose any day. Going on that
assumption, she enters an essay writing contest for the dress of her
dreams. The same day she is notified as
the winner, Casey, her boyfriend drops a bombshell. He is moving out of their small town of
Fairfield, Texas and going to Oklahoma. Not
knowing what to do she decides to go ahead and head to Dallas and the bridal
shop to let them no she has no groom.
Against her better judgement, she listens to the advice of others to
keep the no groom, no wedding a secret and go ahead with the plans of the
dress. What ensues is a hilarious,
heartfelt change of heart. Not just for
Katie, but her whole family and even some of the town. This story had me laughing out loud many
times on how hard parents try to hang on to their children and never wanting to
go against the norm. Family is very
important, however sometimes it is ok for all of them to let go and follow
their dreams, old and new. And Katie realizes there just may be another
one in the running for her groom. This
was an all-around feel good story that had some very poignant moments. It ended well even and there is a
sequel. Ms. Thompson gives us a little
taste of the next one with the first chapter of Every Girl Gets Confused.
I look forward to it. I received
my copy for an honest review from Revell Publishing and the opinions are my
own.
