I ADORED this book! A Beautiful Wedding made me all happy, smiley, giddy, and a little bit teary. Maybe it's partly because I'm just so in the "wedding mood" and this book got me all excited lol!
To be honest, I didn't love the reason Abby proposed to Travis. It just felt so.. unromantic, and like the wrong reason to get married. It's not a huge spoiler since it's revealed in the first part of the book, but I'll put it in spoiler tags anyway. Basically Abby proposed to Travis because she thought that if they disappeared right after the fire, then the police wouldn't suspect that Travis was actually involved... because who would jet off to Las Vegas just hours after a huge tragedy? (Flawed logic there.. a guilty person totally would.) So in short, she proposed to "get him out of town" and with a valid excuse. I mean, I know that Abby and Travis actually do love each other and would have gotten married eventually, but that just seems like a shitty reason to get married. It seems totally un-romantic.
But I loved seeing Abby and Travis go through the actual marriage.. the nerves, the joy, the romance, the wedding night! It was all so fun, exciting, and happy to read about.
I didn't like Walking Disaster, sadly, but A Beautiful Wedding brought me back to my love for Beautiful Disaster! It reminded me why I loved that book so much.
I don't normally read novellas, but this is one you MUST READ if you're a fan of the Beautiful series.
