Description
Seventeen weddings. Six months. Resistance is futile. Joy Silverman and her boyfriend, Gabriel Winslow, seem perfect for each other. Living together in New York City, they have everything they want and everything in common - most importantly, that neither one wants to get married. Ever. But when Joy is invited to attend seventeen weddings in six months (including those of her father, mother, younger brother, and five of her closest girlfriends), the couple is forced to take a new look at why they're so opposed to marriage when the rest of the world can't wait to walk down the aisle. As the season heats up and the pressure mounts, Joy must confront what it means - and what it costs - to be true to one's self and one's principles.

Bursting with brilliant takes on bourgeois wedding culture...' Time Out 'You'll love this novel.' Glamour 'With the wit of Evelyn Waugh and the insight of an anthropologist Wedding Season is well-worth a trip down the (bookstore) aisle.' Elle"More details
