Day 105: The Wedding

Friday, December 18

Book number four of my Indian adventure was “The Wedding” by Nicholas Sparks. This was another fictional story, set in Eastern North Carolina, always a plus. I was left misty eyed with a big smile by the end of the book and ever so anxious for my own prince charming to make his way to the Land of Curry.

“The Wedding” starts with Wilson, the main character, forgetting his and his wife’s 29th wedding anniversary. As his wife cries herself to sleep, he realizes what a huge mistake he has made and becomes absolute terrified that he is about to lose her forever. Wilson, a self proclaimed un-romantic, workaholic, knows that forgetting his anniversary was just the most recent of many missed opportunities to love his wife. He decides then and there that something has to change and that something is him.

Wilson sets out to spend the next year developing a plan to make Jane, his wife, feel like the love of his life that she has always been. Wilson invokes the whole family and all their friends to pull off one of the grandest surprises of all time! With the help of his father-in-law, Noah from “The Notebook,” Wilson learns how to be the romantic that Jane grew up watching her father be. Watching Wilson throughout the year work to rekindle the love that started their marriage reminded me of all the sweet things that Devin and I do for each other and made me want to make sure we never stop!

As the family plans for the wedding of their eldest daughter, Wilson has something up his shelve that is literally a year in the making. Wilson surprises even himself when he is able to pull of the greatest anniversary gift this wife could ever have imagined in the mist of one of the craziest weeks in the life of his family! I don’t want to give the surprise away, but I highly recommend this book to any man looking for some idea of how to blow your wife away! Ladies, you will enjoy the sweet way Sparks paints the picture of Jane and Wilson falling in love all over again. All around, a great read and a precious reminder of how wonderful true love is and how important it is to make every day count.

With Love,
Eli
