Summary: Small Town Love
Review: Dream Wedding
by Alice Wootson

Dream Wedding is a sweet love story.

Melissa Miranda Harrison (Missy) is heading home to South Carolina. Before her layoff Missy taught in the Philadelphia school system where she had remained after attending college on a scholarship. Now after five years she is returning to home to marry Walter Wilson, the small town's successful real estate agent. As a young girl Missy had said "When I get married, I want everything to be perfect. I only expect to do it once, so it has to be perfect; my dream wedding." She had always thought that she would be planning her wedding with her high school sweetheart Jimmy T, but that romance ended years ago. She can live a perfectly good life, if not a passionate one, with Walter.

Fate has a way of showing its hand when least expected. When Missy's car breaks down just inside of town it's Jimmy T who arrives with his tow truck. Jimmy has accomplished everything he set out to do. He has built the house he lives in on the property his grandfather left him. He owns a service garage and is a respected businessman in town. The only thing missing from his life is Missy. He has never stopped loving her. Upon seeing Jimmy T again, Missy's old feelings for him resurface and her wedding plans quickly fall apart as she admits to herself that she can't spend the rest of her life with Walter (and his mother).

It took me a while to get into the story because of the flow of the words in this novel. However, I was left with the feeling that Alice Wootson has a sincere knack for writing about love in it's purest form.

Summary: Hated it.
Review: I can't rememeber the last time I had to put a book down before I finished it. I couldn't get pass the sixth chapter. I got sick and tired of reading and right in the middle of the sentence they go back in time. I could keep up with what's going on now from what happend in the past. Very boring book

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: I was really disappointed when I read Dream Wedding! The book is plain B-O-R-I-N-G!! No action no drama no nothing. When you read this book you think that you're in 1920 instead of 2001 when an high shool diploma was more than enough back then... Everybody in Missy's entourage was in "awe" because she whent to college!! Jimmy T didn't go to college he has his own Garage in the little town where people know everybody else's business. The book is not realistic at all. Don't waist your time on it.

*the truth*

Summary: Second Time Around

However, this relationship ends abruptly when Missy leaves South Carolina to attend college in Philadelphia.

Summary: First Love is the best love.
Review: Jimmy and Missy will take you back to your first love. What if you were to meet your first love again and you are planning to marry someone else. Missy and Jimmy were meant to be and when you are destined to be with someone, you can't fight it or hide it. I fell in love with Jimmy and Walter I never knew why Missy even considered marrying him. Alice Wootson has captured the real essence of true love.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Young Love
Review: Missy Harrison had been in love with Jim T (Jimmy Tanner Scott) since high school. Missy even use to day dream about what her dream wedding would be like when she married Jimmy T.

After graduation Missy and Jimmy T had an argument and she went to Philadelphia to attend college.

Missy returns to Maryland only to get married to Walter Wilson. Everyone in their small town always thought Missy would marry Jimmy T, even her mother. Her car breaks down and Jimmy T who is the local mechanic, comes to her rescue. Missy can't help but remember what Jimmy T was like when they dated.

Missy feels it is unfair to Walter to marry him when she has so many thoughts of Jimmy T in her mind constantly. When she cancels the wedding Jimmy T decides to show her that they belong together.

I really liked the older characters in this story. There is so much wisdom there.

This is the second story by Ms. Wootson. If you have not done so, you should read Snowbound with Love.

Summary: Ther perfect wedding or the perfect man?
Review: This is not the most exciting book. It did however; keep me interested to complete it. You have to keep up because it does bounce back and forth to the present and past. In the end it's a sweet story. Does Missy give in and marry a man she knows she does not love, or will she smarten up and allow Jimmy to enter her life again. If you manage to make it past the slow parts of the book, you will be in for a pleasant surprise. It's because of how the book ended, it's staying in my collection.
