Cammie Yarnell is thrilled to be helping to plan and carry out Kelly Atwood’s wedding. She had started as a babysitter for the young woman but when Kelly’s mother died Cammie took a much larger role in her life. Almost every part of her was happy for Kelly and wanted to create the most beautiful day possible for this vibrant young woman. The downside for Cammie is that her own engagement had ended a year ago in the most disheartening way. The louse had slept with the entertainment from his bachelor party and it was just the beginning of finding out just how rotten he was.
Not only was Kelly getting married in the venue Cammie had chosen for her own wedding but Kelly’s father had chosen the photographer Cammie had tried so valiantly to ignore for the last year. Curt, the photographer, had once been her best friend but he lost that status in her life when he introduced her to the man she just couldn’t marry. She couldn’t figure out how a friend could have set her up for that kind of hurt.
It never occurred to Cammie that just maybe Curt had been deceived as well and that just maybe she was being a bit too hard on him. Curt needed this photography job to help pay some of his father’s medical expenses but he needed his friendship back with Cammie even more. What neither one of them counted on was that in the process of rebuilding the friendship other feelings would begin to emerge and take hold.
Ann Roth has created a cute love story with It Happened One Wedding. She has illustrated the fact that none of us know about another person in our lives until they are tested a bit and have the opportunity to show what they are really made of. Unfortunately for Cammie, her first fiancée didn’t have the metal it took to commit himself to one woman. On the flip side though, the roller coaster created by Kelly’s wedding did show Cammie just how much strength Curt really did have once she allowed her eyes to be opened.
As a side note, one of my favorite chuckles for the book came from Weston Atwood, Kelly’s father. For all of the grief through the years that has been attributed to the mother of the bride and the antics she has been known to put everyone through, this father of the bride puts them all to shame. The battle of the sexes is a draw.
