Weddings are an essential part of life for many; it is a great deal, and hence, they go through a lot of trouble to plan and put together a perfect wedding ceremony they could always look back on. However, with the world turned upside down, people are constantly looking for ways to celebrate their special day only with a few loved ones; small-sized weddings are the new trend.
Piper has always been the favorite child. Daphne’s used to that. After all, Piper’s a veterinarian which means a regular income. She has her own home. Daphne loves to see the world, not much planning involved. Once home again, she started pet sitting and making dog treats. She’s living in a cottage on Piper’s property. And now, Piper’s getting married.
Hayley Powell may not know who first spoke the words of the sentimental toast she may be plagiarizing, but she truly believes in what she’s saying at the wedding shower of her BFF Liddy Crawford. No one really thought that Liddy would manage to get the much younger, boy-toy attorney Sonny Lipton to propose, and perhaps that explains why Liddy seems in such a rush to run down the aisle.
It seems like it’s been a long time coming, but best friends Angie DeLaura and Tate Harper are finally getting married. Not only are they now business partners franchising Scottsdale’s Fairy Tale Cupcakes, but together with Melanie Cooper they have shared a love for movies and food since childhood.

On December 28, I returned to work, hoping to hide out in the holiday-hollowed halls of academia. No such luck. The first of the three dastardly “Ds” in my life, my ex-wife and fellow faculty member, Daphne, anticipated my strategy and beat me there. She stopped me as I reached my office door to ask if I’d decided on the song I wanted.
Considering that planning her sister’s engagement led Pepper Pomeroy to create her Perfect Proposals business, one wouldn’t have thought that Felicity’s path down the aisle would have been strewn with so many corpses. Now that Pepper’s participation only requires being the Maid of Honor, the murder streak is one tradition she’s hoping to end. She almost makes it. Just moments after the newly married couple’s departure, Pepper is devastated to witness the collapse of bartender Ashley Klein, a woman with whom Pepper formed an early bond.
Ivy and Roy are getting married, long after either thought they’d ever find someone and fall in love. After all, they now live in a retirement home and are what is optimistically called, set in their ways. However, love is not to be denied but it sometimes can be delayed.
