This book is about all of the preparations for Rosemary's wedding. They have to find an outfit for that special day.  However, that is only the beginning.  Rosemary also has to meet Greg's mother to discuss the guest list. Rosemary wants to have a simple wedding but Greg's mother wants a large one. At first Rosemary only wants to wear a suit but eventually, her mother convinces her to buy a wedding dress. The bridesmaids make their own dresses. One of many mishaps occur as Rosemary is putting together her wedding outfit. She has her Grandmother's lace veil on her bed. Bad Buster, the cat, tears it to shreds. This is only one of the funny mishaps that happen.  In order tofind out what happens, you have to read this book.

This story is one I highly recommend. I think it appeals to girls my age because it is set in modern times and it has great suspense. Once you start reading you can't put it down.  Since the chapters are so long you often stop in a suspenseful spot and don't want to ever go to bed.
