It's Not My Wedding: But I'm in Charge

Anyone who can afford seven digits with no decimals wants to hire Zoe Brandenberg as their wedding planner; as Zoe's "angel" Mylie Ford walks six blocks to the bank to deposit a ten million dollar check; of which she receives 5% after the I dos. Their current clients are the latest wedding of the decade as all Zoe ceremonies are, but superstars Kick Lyons and Celia Tyranova demand their upcoming gala be kept top secret, not easy to accomplish when every action Zoe takes is followed closely by the media and in this case the bride and groom are paparazzi favorites. The pressure is totally on Mylie to pull off this wedding as Zoe is somewhat a decoy. However Zoe fires Mylie over an alleged indiscretion with Bryan an apparent paparazzi, which angers Kick and Celia who like Mylie. Her friend Renata suggests Mylie go to Dolphin Dance to recover from her shock. There she meets Russell the chef and his six years old daughter Emma. As she falls in love with Russell over what Mylie assumes is the dancing objection of his daughter; Zoe, Celia and Kick want her back while Bryan stalks her as his ticket to the wedding of the century. Wedding expert Sharon Naylor provides a lighthearted look at what goes into a celebrity marriage from the perspective of a likable wedding planner. The story line is totally owned by the beleaguered but honest Mylie as she struggles with the differing demands of her two clients, the outrageous orders of her boss, the odious stalking of her former beau, and the worst of all the insistence of her heart. Though the "conflicts" seem minor and the romance comes late, readers will enjoy this fine look at planning the marriage of the century. Harriet Klausner
