Diary of a Single Wedding Planner by Violet Howe Excerpt
I recognized Felicia’s mom right away, but I couldn’t find Drago’s mom. I asked loudly if his mom could please step forward.
“She’s not here,” Felicia called out from the back of the church. “She got shot.”
I thought I misunderstood. Undoubtedly, the bride did not just tell me the groom’s mother got shot in the same calm, matter-of-fact voice she would use to say something like, she’s stuck in traffic. Or her manicure ran late. Or her flight got delayed.
“I’m sorry, what?” I asked again just to be sure.
“Drago’s mom got shot last night, so she’s not here. She may make it tomorrow. I’ll let you know in the morning.”
Not a single person acted the least bit alarmed when Felicia said it. I mean, everyone but me obviously already knew, but why was no one reacting? Was this a common occurrence? Such uneventful news no one thought to mention it earlier? And this happened last night???
“Oh, okay,” I said, trying to go along with the blasé crowd.
Drago didn’t look upset. Neither did Felicia. No one seemed to be remotely bothered by the groom’s mother getting shot. I wondered what the circumstances were, and I struggled not to ask the questions replaying over and over in my mind. What happened? Who shot her? Was it an accident? Where’d she get shot? Is this normal?
Wedding planner Tyler Warren left heartbreak behind when she ran away from her small Southern hometown and started a new life in a big city. Years later, she wants to believe in the fairy-tale endings her job promotes, but the clients she meets day after day seems to be more “Crazily Ever After” than “Happily Ever After.”
Meanwhile, her own attempts at romance play out as bizarre comedies rather than love stories, and she’s starting to think Prince Charming either fell off his horse or got eaten by a dragon. When unresolved issues from Tyler’s past complicate things even further, she discovers she may yet have some things to figure out before she can find her own happy ending.
This delightful first book in the Tales Behind the Veils series chronicles Tyler’s wacky misadventures, both personal and professional. Whether she’s getting insane requests from brides or outlandish requests on dates, you’re sure to be charmed and entertained by the Diary of a Single Wedding Planner.
