The Wedding Mishap: An Opposites Attract, Destination Wedding Romance : Sequel to Brooding Heart

by Sherry Aab

“Sometimes the best things in life aren’t on the itinerary.”

I came to Mexico with a clipboard, a plan, and the confidence of a woman who’s never missed a deadline.
My best friend’s wedding? I’ve got it.
Even if a few wedding mishaps decide to test me.
Enter Marco, the groom’s relaxed brother. He’s got a PhD in winging it and a grin that should come with a warning label. He owns the resort, charms every vendor within a ten-mile radius, and drives me absolutely insane.
Between missing luggage, meddling moms and one unforgettable dance under fairy lights, we clash and connect in equal measure.
He lives by instinct. I live by structure. Yet every moment with him reminds me there’s more to life than plans and perfection.
Because sometimes, when everything goes off script, love has a way of giving you exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

A Romantic Comedy of Opposites Attract and Destination Wedding Fun

Wedding partnership

Rachel has planned Emma and Enrique's Portland wedding to perfection. One week before the wedding, they are blindsided by Enrique's passport renewal postponed. It will take a week more. The wedding is in a week. Marco, Enrique's brother, suggested that they have the wedding in their Mexican resort. They host weddings all the time, and they could have a sunset beach wedding right there. Emma and Enrique love the idea. Rachel feels like her months of planning are all for nothing. But this does seem to be the only answer. So, off to Mexico they all go. Rachel has to admit, the setting is beautiful and Marco has planned some great events. The food is incredible, the rehearsal goes smoothly. Everything is good. She still is trying to control everything. Marco told her to try to enjoy the weekend and relax. He has planned many weddings and she can take a break. That seems impossible for Rachel. She is driving the staff crazy with her micromanagement of everything. Marco tries to smooth everything over, but he's running out of patience, too. They finally find some things that they do together, like plan a romantic evening for the happy couple, and find they are good together in planning and making plans come true. A kiss after some heartfelt confessions changes everything. When Marco takes pictures for the wedding, he keeps finding Rachel, not the wedding events. She takes all his thoughts. They dance together and it feels perfect. The ending is a surprise, still involving the missing passport. This was a fun book. Watching two opposites navigate an event together was entertaining. I really enjoyed it.

Perfect Clean Fun!

Excellent clean fun read! Fast and feel good! The descriptions of Tulum, Mexico are dreamy and detailed just enough to imagine a tropical paradise that accidentally becomes a dream wedding. This is the wedding I have always dreamed of! Emma and Alejandro were sweet in love and the most amazing bridal couple! I love how I was drawn into the stories of both the bride and groom's troubles and the best friend and brother's troubles as well. I wasn't sure which couple was supposed the main couple of the book until the end. I must admit I feel cheated and shocked at the end. Kudos to the author for leading into another story! Now I must find it......if it's written!

Unfinished Chaos

I loved the chaos between Rachel and Marco! These two have completely different approaches to life, and it has them butting heads at every turn. When they finally start to see under the surface they discover they have more in common than they thought. There really is a beautiful balance between them, and they aren’t afraid to challenge each other. I wasn’t prepared for this to be an unfinished story, but I am excited to keep reading the rest of it in the next book.

This read was so cute and relatable. Who hasn’t had the best laid plans amount to naught and have to pivot. The way the characters - yes the main, side, and obscure ones - are all written makes you feel like they could be you or your friends/family. I think I may have been a part of this wedding at some point. It was that kind of relatable. It was a super fun story that kept me involved till the last line.

Another great read from Sherry Aab! Sherry writes her books so you feel like you are in the location with the characters, her description of the scenery and food are awesome. The plot keeps you glued to the page and the characters are so realistic. I can't wait for her next book. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher.

THE WEDDING MISHAP is a fun story about the bride’s best friend (and unofficial wedding planner) working with the groom’s irritating, flirtatious brother to pull off a flawless wedding.  
I love all the characters, their interactions, and the well paced plot. Sherry Aab’s characters slip into your heart, cosy up, and make themselves at home!

I enjoyed reading this fun little story. But, the ending is just a lead in to the next book. I kind of felt like I was left hanging. The wedding is accomplished. Loved the scene where the mothers got lost.
I received this book from the author and this is my voluntary, honest review.

Great sequel to Brooding Heart, but this stands on its own if you haven't read that one. Loved the characters and the setting.
