Summary: I hear bells!
Review: People love weddings right? Of course they do! What strikes me as odd then is the fact that Julie Garwood was the first author to write a book about a wedding! How did this serious ceremony go by virtually unnoticed for centuries? It is almost to frightening to ponder. But I must say kudos to Mrs. Garwood for finally having the courage to break the silence. Now no one has an excuse to be clueless about these "wedding" things. Bravo

Summary: Julie Garwood writes a perfect blend of romance & adventure.
Review: The Wedding is another great book by Julie Garwood.Like all her other books,the heroine is sweet, fiesty and very naieve. As always, you can relate to her and almost imagine yourself there in Scotland. Garwood's hero is stoic, somewhat unfeeling, and very warriorlike. Caught between two clans, the two lovers must trust each other enough to get past trechery and lies. As always, Garwood shows that love conquers all, but makes a suspensful story in the process

Summary: A sweet romance
Review: I bought "The Wedding" by Julie Garwood because the synopsis promised the elements I adore most in romance: it's set in the Highlands of Scotland of more than two hundred years ago (I hate reading modern-day romance!) with an honorable Laird and a reluctant English bride. Well, to be more precise, it's set in the 1100's, but hey, that's more than two hundred years ago, no? Anyway, the heroine, sixteen-year-old Lady Brenna, is being escorted to MacNare, the man whom she just found out that morning she is betrothed to. However, the going is not smooth at all, because Connor MacAlister, MacNare's bitter enemy, decides to claim Brenna for his own--after all, she did propose to him when she was a child. Now married to a stranger, and uncertain of her future (Connor, um, kindly informs her to forget her past), Brenna decides to win her new husband over, and learn the ways of his people--as well as how to speak better Gaelic! Unfortunately, there are other forces at work equally determined to undermine her efforts and watch her fail, but will she able to put a stop to them? And can she truly make Connor love her, he who is consumed by the past and the murder of his father? Now, this IS a romance, use common sense! So if you want to read a sweet, whimsical tale set in mideval times, then "The Wedding" is definitely the book for you. The only complaint I have is that none of the Scots TALK like Scots! However, the story is amusing and more than makes up for that flaw

Summary: FUN
Review: I enjoyed The Wedding as much as her previous book, The Bride. The perky humor reminds me a lot of Elizabeth Peters and her books with the character Amelia Peabody

Summary: Almost perfect!!
Review: I love the book, but my favorite is still The Bride. The characters spent too much time in the forest and at Jamie's home and not enough time togther to get adjusted to one another, which is usually when the heroine tries to change her husband and the husband is too stubborn to let her. Ms. Garwood shows the cleverness of the woman by having her outwit her man, the hero often realizing too late that he has changed to please his wife. That's the best part of all of Ms. Garwood's book. Unlike McNaught's, there isn't too much heartache dragging the book down. In McNaught's books, I don't ever like the men and women seem too wimpy. In Ms. Garwood's books, the text is funny, the women spirited, and the men(oh dream)are hard but willing to bend. I especially love it when they are frustrated by their wives' antics and when they act so tough when loving them

Summary: Excellent, another winner
Review: If you liked The Bride You will love The Wedding. You get to meet the boy Lady Jamie saved from the boar, He is now all grown up and is interested in aquiring a bride, but not just any bride but the one promised to his enemy - Lady Brenna.
Ms.Garwood creates a heroine that is not afraid to have some backbone. Lady Brenna is more than up to match with her wild scotsman, a man she asked, as a young child, three times to marry her. You are drawn into the life of this scottish clan and their story. At the same time you get to visit an old friend (Lady Jamie from The Bride)to see how her life turned out.
I dare you to read this book and try to put it down until
it is done. It is a delite to read something where the heroine has spunk in her character and the hero whose strong character is not afraid to bend (in his way) to the lady that he loves.

Summary: There Should Be More!!!!!
Review: I think the book was excellent. The first one was just as great. This book had me laughing and crying and sighing. The heated romance with Connor and Brenna is wonderful. I think there should be another one, though. It should have Quinlan and Faith. The way they act in the end of The Wedding it just is begging for there to be a book with them. Connor and Brenna were so passionate with eachother and they just couldn't tell what they felt to eachother.

Summary: A wonderful story!!
Review: I have read most of the reviews on this story and have noticed that some were not happy with this book, saying that it was to similar to 'the Bride" I myself have not read the bride, not yet. I loved yet again another wonderful story by ms garwood, I believe that some have forgotten the time that this book was written and upbringing that the main character was raised in. Lady Brenna is fron england and raised in a manner that looks down on lady 'putting there foot down' Lady Brenna comes to her husbands home with her mother in law already staying there. even tho she had been away for many years. Lady brenna does not know her place in the house hold, yes she is married to the laird of the castle but does not know if it her place to tell her mother in law to leave or what every she would like to. She wanted this woman to like her and yelling at her would have made her not like her. I beleve that when her mother in law told her she should let he son have his way with her I think she was so shocked and scared to run screaming to tell her husband. she did not want to embarress him by telling someone else before she spoke to him . and as for lady brenna's father marring her off to someone she did not know, it was what was done in that time, marriages were done for land and to make peace and to make clans bigger. I loved all of this book. It kept me up all night reading it.
