![]() You can’t control more than a single day. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?īut no matter what happens, life is only a series of days. ![]() The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. It’s a wedding fit for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body. Throw in a previously deserted (and possibly haunted) Irish island, and top it all off with an engaged couple who are wealthy minor celebrities with skeletons in their closets and this story has all the ingredients for a disastrous recipe! Let’s check out the blurb… Reading a book where two of the main characters are coordinating a wedding fit perfectly in my wheelhouse. At the end of the night, there was always a happy couple and, best of all, leftover cake! And, yet, things always seemed to come together as they should. Yes, there were times when things didn’t go perfectly as planned. It wasn’t something I got paid for I did it for my church, but I put just as much energy into it as if there was a paycheck on the other end of all that planning and coordination. Many, many years ago, I used to be a wedding planner.
