Summary: Boring
Comment: At the risk of getting a gazillion negative votes for this review-I found this latest work by Sparks to be boring and average at best. The first two-thirds of the book are especially dull. The last third is more worthwhile, if you make it that far, where some humor and lightheartedness makes the story mildly interesting.
The story itself is about a middle-age couple where the spark seems to be out of the marriage because the husband is rather dull and inattentive. With the kids out of the house the marriage has become routine. As Wilson, the husband, realizes his faults he attempts to make amends and reenergize his marriage. He uses his daughter's upcoming wedding (thus the title of the book) as a catalyst to make amends for failings. The real catch for Sparks fans is that Wilson is married to the daughter of Noah and Allie, the couple from The Notebook. Noah plays a peripheral but important part in the novel.
The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, and A Walk to Remember are vintage Sparks and highly recommended. His last several novels, to this reader, have lacked the easy pacing and evocative prose that made these three novels top notch stories.

Summary: Review letter from my son.
Comment: I recommended this book to my son and I got this adorable letter from him after he read The Wedding:
Hey Mom,
How's life? Everything is all good here. Just finished reading "The Wedding"...it was excellent. When the daughter announced she was going to get married, at first I thought Wilson would surprise Jane by having them get married at the same time as their daughter...but as the story progressed I moved away from that feeling. I could have never predicted that his daughter's wedding was all part of his big surprise. I love the way he managed to save that unexpected surprise for the last five pages of the book. He really had a lot of making up to do for all the neglect in the past. Don't know if I could ever be that romantic so I'll just continue doing the little things now so I won't need to do big things later. I can see why it was one of your favorites...it was excellent.

Summary: The Wedding By: Nicholas Sparks
Comment: Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors and I was very excited to find that he came out with a sequal to "The Notebook". The beginning of this novel was hard to get into, but as it went on it got better and better. This novel uses irony and creates many vivd images for the reader. Wilson, the protagonist, creates images of how many people may live their lives now. I believe this book was able to give advice to many married couples because being married and committed to someone can be hard. Anyone may forget their anniversary, but in the novel "The Wedding," Wilson forgot his anniversary and Jane became depressed and upset. Wilson then realizes that he loves her so much and is going to have to do something to win her love back. Throughout the novel irony is used of how Wilson and Jane got together and their marriage. It seems as though the same things are happening to them as they did to Noah and Aliie in "The Notebook".Sparks really knows how to get the readers attention and change their emotions throughout the story. Sparks uses serious, detailed facts, but he also uses humorous and exciting emotions. ALthough many people may think that all of his stories tell the same thing, I believe that each one gives a different and effective message. Love is love, and in this novel, love is expressed throughtout the entire story. Wilson loves her and surprises her with a special something to show her how much he loves her. With struggles, ups, downs, and so many other characteristics of marriage, this novel illustrates how tough marriage is, but anyone can get through it if you really love eachother.
