The Wedding Committee: A Novel

Forty-eight hours before the wedding of the season, wedding planner Nora Vance gets the call every planner dreads: every single vendor has been double-booked - with a completely unrelated couple who happens to share a suspiciously similar name. The flowers meant for a three-hundred-guest cathedral wedding arrive at a forty-person backyard in Astoria. The officiant is booked in two places at once. Two of Manhattan's most formidable society mothers - old friends turned thirty-year rivals - are one ice sculpture away from a public war. And a gossip columnist is circling with a notebook and impeccable timing. The Wedding Committee is a whip-smart, big-hearted ensemble comedy about chaos, old grudges, and the surprisingly short distance between disaster and exactly the wedding everyone actually needed. Inside: - A 48-hour countdown structure that never lets up- Two rival society matriarchs with thirty years of unfinished business- A slow-burn romance between a harried planner and the world's calmest crisis liaison- Zero villains - just a lot of very proud people who need to talk to each other No bodies. No scandal. Just champagne towers, ice swans, and one gloriously chaotic double wedding that nobody saw coming - least of all the woman in charge of pulling it off.
