LOVE WAS THE EASY PART
Jean and Danielle have already survived modern dating, emotional baggage, bad timing, group-chat interference, and one email that should probably never have been opened.
Now there is a wedding.
Which means family.
Friends.
Expectations.
Old history.
New opinions.
People who believe this event is somehow about them.
And enough romantic pressure to turn a beautiful celebration into an extremely expensive emotional stress test.
Everybody loves a wedding until the people getting married start having second thoughts.
ABOUT THE BOOK
No, Not That Wedding continues the adult romantic chaos of No, Not That Email with bigger expectations, messier emotions, sharper comedy, and considerably more people available to make everything worse.
The closer everyone gets to the ceremony, the harder it becomes to separate what should happen from what people actually want.
Love collides with embarrassment.
Friendship collides with boundaries.
Family collides with absolutely everything.
And people who should know better continue to demonstrate why knowing better and doing better are completely different skills.
At its heart, this is a story about what happens when adults bring all of their history into a moment everybody expects to be perfect.
Perfection lasts about as long as nobody says what they are really thinking.
SECOND THOUGHT
Book 2
No, Not That Wedding
The relationship survived the email. Now it has to survive everybody else.
You are here.
Book 3
Let That Church Candy Testify
After the email and the wedding, the church has something to say.
In development. Release date to be announced.
WHY THIS ONE GETS MESSIER
An email can be deleted.
A wedding has witnesses.
That changes the stakes.
There are more opinions, more expectations, more people keeping score, and far fewer places to hide when somebody says the wrong thing.
Romantic disaster becomes much more efficient when everybody you know is already in the same room.
