June has always been the traditional month for weddings (in fact, June is named for Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage). With a season full of weddings ahead of many of us, now's the time to start thinking about unique and affordable gifts for showers and other wedding-related parties to come. If you're looking for that something extra to give a bride or bridesmaid in your life (or just like reading about weddings), here are 10 books that fit the bill perfectly:
Always the Bridesmaid by Whitney Lyles: Cate Padgett has been in more than her fair share of weddings, with a closet of hideous dresses and dyed shoes to show for it, but she dreams of planning her own in this “27-dresses” style comedic romance.
The Best Day of Someone Else’s Life by Kerry Reichs: Vi is in love with weddings and the idea of the best day of your life (or BDOYL). But after countless weddings (and a few divorces) over the course of 18 months, she starts to question whether she ever wants to get married, even when Mr. Right suddenly comes along (at a wedding, of course).
The Bride will Keep her Name by Jan Goldstein: A week before the big day, Maddie's fiance’s name is connected to the murder of a call girl, and she must turn into an amateur sleuth in order to uncover the truth before her trip down the aisle ... all while dealing with last-minute planning, in-laws and an over-the-top mother.
Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married by Marian Keyes: Lucy Sullivan and her friends visit a psychic who tells them that the boyfriendless Lucy will be married within a year. When the prophecies for her other friends start coming true, Lucy starts to believe that maybe wedding bells really are on the way.
Otherwise Engaged by Suzanne Finnamore: Eve finally got the ring, but her year-long engagement is a series of fights over photographers and drama around every corner, and her fiance’s formerly endearing habits start to become annoying. Can she make it to the altar without losing it?
Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella: Book three of the Shopaholic series follows Becky Bloomwood as she plans the biggest day of her life, but in typical Becky fashion, things don’t exactly go as smoothly as expected. Her mom plans a backyard wedding back home in England, while her fiance's snooty mom has booked the Plaza ... on the same day.
Vision in White by Nora Roberts: The first novel in Roberts’ new Bride Quartet series centers on Mac, a talented wedding photographer and one of four friends who own a Connecticut-based wedding planning company called Vows.
The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks: Wilson has been married to Jane (the daughter of the main characters from The Notebook) for 30 years, and after forgetting his anniversary, decides to put some new life back into his marriage. In the meantime, their daughter announces her engagement.
The Wedding Girl by Madeline Wickham: Milly runs into the photographer that took the photos at her wedding 10 years ago. Only problem: that wedding was a sham to keep an American friend in England, and Milly never told anyone, including her now fiancé. Will her secret be revealed?
Wedding Season by Katie Fforde: Joy Silverman is firmly against the tradition of marriage, and is sick of people asking when she and her boyfriend will tie the knot, but things only get worse when they have to endure 17 weddings in six months.
