Was a light Christian romance.

This book was a short romance. Starts as couple is planning a wedding. Bride has to trust God 's plan

[Renate Deutsche Oma · Rating 5 out of 5]

While most romance short stories discuss the theme of love or commitment, this short story explores the motif of dancing in the rain on Mirabelle's and Noah's wedding day. Is rain on their wedding day - good or bad luck? Who is superstitious? After reading this well crafted short story with its unique South Africa January setting, the well developed characters of Noah Raines (how punny) and Mirabelle, a unique wedding guest, a few unexpected twists and one not so unexpected conflict (the interfering mother-in-law), YOU can decide. A perfect blend of cultures, superstitions and traditions = a delightful whimsical read. Marion Ueckermann congratulations on this inspiring Honorable Mention Romance.

I loved this sweet story of having faith that no matter what circumstances come your way, God's got it covered! Marion gives us a wonderful novella here!

One my favorite activities - dancing in the rain! As for rain on your wedding day? Your meticulously planned outdoor wedding day?

Mirabelle has every reason to worry about rain on what is supposed to be the happiest day of her life! I love how Noah eases his fiance's worries and makes sure she knows the only thing that matters on their wedding day is saying their vows before God, rain or shine!

Mirabelle will have wedding on 10th January with Noah.
There is much to do, but the family help them.
How will be the weather on 1oth january? superstitions, hope, faith, lucky and.. an umbrella!

Okay

I haven’t read the other books in this series, so this short was just okay. A quick read but not knowing the characters, hard to get invested.

What a wonderful story filled with faith. A beautiful wedding set in Africa. I loved Mirabelle and Noah's outdoor wedding and the barefoot idea.

Although not my favourite genre, I enjoyed this light-hearted story. The characters are well drawn and make for a good read.

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short, sweet, clean wedding jitters novella, which also has a mother-in-law clash and reconciliation in it.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute short story

A sweet short story depicting fears, rational or not, and a few struggles with the soon to be MIL all before Belle's wedding day, with a groom as dear and precious as they come.

Marion Ueckermann is a South African author who recently lost her life to Covid. As a South African myself, I decided to honour Marion and give her books the recognition she deserves. This one is a novella I had on my kindle for awhile. As the title suggests, Dancing in the Rain is a short story about not only accepting the storms life throws at us, but learning to dance (by embracing) in them too!
