I didn't have the exact dates that I read this book was due to losing a computer and having to wait before I could put up a review. I received the book in exchange for an honest and fair review!
I loved this book! It was written about three sisters, who are named after Louisa May Alcotts, "Little Women". Their Father had studied a lifetime the books of this author and wrote one on his own, he a professor at the local Collage. Meryl Becker is the Mom and she finds that within a very short time in one year all three of her daughters are engaged to very wonderful men. I loved reading about the three sisters they were each so different! I couldn't imagine putting together one wedding for all three at once. That would be a nightmare! Well that is what the Mom was faced with, her husband loses his job, and they are going to not only lose their income but also their apartment. They can't afford three weddings. So Mom convinces each girl that the best thing they can all do is have a triple wedding. Now getting the parents of each of the families of the fiance's to agree is next to impossible. She Mother of the Brides makes them bend to her daughters wishes before it is over! I can tell you I started reading this book and I carried it where ever I went so that I could finish it. I loved the book and wanted more when it was over, I think you will too! Great woman's book!!
Description as found here on Good Reads: Meryl Becker is living a mother's dream. The oldest of her three beautiful daughters, Meg, is engaged to a wonderful man from one of the country's most prominent families. Of course, Meryl wants to give Meg the perfect wedding. Who wouldn't? But when her two younger daughters, Amy and Jo, also become engaged to celebrated bachelors, Meryl has to admit that three weddings is more than she and her husband, Hugh, can realistically afford.
The solution? A triple wedding! At first, it's a tough sell to the girls, and juggling three sets of future in-laws is a logistical nightmare. But when Hugh loses his teaching job, and Meryl's aging mother suddenly moves in with them, a triple wedding is the only way to get all three sisters down the aisle. When the grand plan becomes public, the onslaught of media attention adds to Meryl's mounting pressure. Suddenly, appearances are everything - and she will do whatever it takes to keep the wedding on track as money gets tight, her mother starts acting nutty, and her own thirty year marriage starts to unravel.
In the weeks leading up to the nuptials, secrets are revealed, passions ignite, and surprising revelations show Meryl and her daughters the true meaning of love, marriage and family. Jamie Brenner's The Wedding Sisters invites readers to the most unpredictable wedding of the year.
