Product Description
Only a master could top the stunning success of For the Roses, and Julie Garwood has proven once again why she "attracts readers like beautiful heroines attract dashing heroes" (USA Today) with this joyous New York Times bestseller. Returning to the enchanting world of her classic The Bride, she brings the soaring adventure, love and rivalry of medieval Scotland to glorious life in a delightful tale her fans will adore.Journeying from England to Scotland to wed a highlander, Lady Brenna had resigned herself to the arranged match. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captured her en route, she fearlessly met their demand to marry their leader -- the quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister. She couldn't know that her capture was merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy. Brenna harbored no illusions that her husband was in love with her; after a hasty forest wedding, MacAlister assured her she could return home once she had borne him a son. But she could not deny that she had once proposed to MacAlister -- ten years ago, when she was just a child, and the visitor to her father's castle charmed her with his dazzling, unexpected smile. Now, as she sets out to win the brave chieftain whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant hero can save her...

 Love it! July 29, 2008
I don't remember where I got The Wedding but I remember reading it in high school as either a freshman or a sophmore.
By the first paragraph I was laughing out loud. In between classes I passed it to a friend just so she could read the first chapter. She refused to give it back until she finished it. LOL
This book started my love for romance novels. It's a good romp through the Highlands and I love Brenna and Connor. It also brought me to my favorite Julie Garwood book, The Bride.
Even though The Bride is my favorite, The Wedding has a special place on my bookshelf as my start into romance.
 Started slow but picked up June 2, 2008
For me The Wedding started out rather slow and I had a hard time really getting into it, however, it did pick up toward the end.
Although this book CAN be read on it's own, I recommend that you read The Bride before The Wedding as characters mentioned in this book are in the first one.
Julie Garwood is the BEST!!!! October 8, 2007
Nothing she writes is bad. its fun and keeps you entertained. If you like her read Johanna Lindsay, and Kathleen Woodwiss. They are all wonderful writers.
A Witty Humorous love/hate English and Scottish Romance July 25, 2007

I couldn't put this book down. I have never laugh so much reading a book as I did with The Wedding. English heroine Brenna was the perfect match for quick
tempered Scottish highlander Connor MacAliser.Brenna witty come back replies sedated the giant
highlander everytime. Brenna was just what the hottempered laird needed. Anyone reading this book will not dare throw it across the room. A remarkable page turner.

I have read "Ransom" and loved it, and "the bride" which I really liked. "The Wedding" however, which is the sequel to "the bride" was an okay read at best.
There were some really funny scenes such as the wedding scene when they are saying their vows, I laughed out loud when poor Brenna said her vows, it was hilarious. However, Connor was too much of a jerk, for me to like this book.
There were some tender moments, though very few and far in between, with Brenna and Connor. But for the most part this book contained nothing but Connor and Brenna not understanding each other, and Connor being a jerk to her. Brenna however made a lot of effort to make the marriage work, while Connor didn't even bother to make the slightest effort.
And it wasn't until the last ten pages of the book that Connor realizes his love for his wife, and goes and pursues her because she has left him at that point. Well it's a little too late for this reader. If Connor had just put some effort into his marriage, I would have rated this book higher. But him being a complete jerk, brought the rating down and took from my enjoyment in reading this book.
Not a keeper. It's predecessor "the bride" was a better read.
