The Wedding almost seemed like it was specifically written for me to hate - and it's been a long time since I've disliked a book this much. There's no real art to it (people are "white as paper" and so forth), but it's written for people who don't exactly have alternative lifestyles or world views. The baby boomer housewife married her husband because he respected her desire to be a housewife at a time when "most people our age wanted to change the world," and she knew he'd b...more
I read this book right after I read Twilight because I was on a romance kick (very rare, I promise) and I couldn't get my hands on New Moon. At first I was worried it was going to be lame because it makes it seem like it's going to be another story about what a jerk the main guy is and how he's neglecting his wife. However, I really liked the way the author made Wilson not a bad guy, but a good guy who just doesn't know any better. I usually don't like mushy books because it always seems like...more
Noah is now living at Creekside, where he and Allie had moved toward the end of her life. He spends his time feeding a lone female swan, distinguished by a dark patch of color on her chest. Noah feels that this is Allie come back to him, and his children feel that he's lost touch with the world. Noah, however, never gives up on his theory and insists that it is his dear beloved wife.
Noah and Allie's oldest daughter, Jane, is married to Wilson Lewis. They've been married for nearly 30...more

A friend of the family loaned me two Nicholas Sparks books. The friend is very nice. However, reading Nicholas Sparks, to quote Tommy Smothers, makes me realize why some animals eat their young.

This was my very first Nicholas Sparks book. I never had time nor made time for reading, other than educational reads for health and career. I decided to choose a book in the airport before boarding the plane. I figured it may keep my mind off of flying- I never in my life thought I would spend the next 3 days unable to put the book down. From that day on I continue to read Nicholas Sparks books. For me I find his books to be captivating, always drawing me in and keeping me there as I conti...more
I'm a big Nicholas Sparks fan, so I may be somewhat biased as I review this book. The Wedding is the sequel to The Notebook, the love story of Noah and Allie: a love that almost didn't happen. Now, in The Wedding, we meet the next two generations of family members, and a somewhat complex story is told.

Well , this book was a birthday present for me by one of my friends , I was told that it is a sort of a sequel to Nicholas Spark's popular novel , THE NOTEBOOK, ( which is my favorite love stories)
The book's ending was quiet surprising and pleasant.
I am actually a kind of person who doesn't believe in "true love forever " or "love at first sight", but this story made me think that love can last forever , even after 30 years of marriage( as ...more

This was a good romance novel. I love how Nicholas Sparks pulls the reader into the book. This love story was about Noah's daughter Jane and her husband Wilson. Wilson who was a lawyer and an work alcoholic forgot there 28th wedding anniversary and it really hurt Jane, so Wilson decided to make it up to her by planning a wedding for their 30th anniversary only he lead Jane to believe with the help of his daughter Anna that they were planning Anna's wedding. It was so beautiful how he pulled ...more
So this is basically part 2 of The Notebook, the book and movie which made grown men cry.
OK. So, Wilson forgets to bring a big bouquet of flowers and an expensive bottle of perfume through the door on their 29th anniversary. He has forgotten. Jane pouts until bedtime when she tells him what he has done now. That is the beginning of all the trouble.

Случайно попаднах на тази книга в библиотеката и реших да я прочета. Нямах особени очаквания - Никълъс Спаркс не е сред авторите, на които бих обърнала внимание в книжарницата. Голяма част от книгата беше точно такава, каквато очаквах - захаросано-романтична, твърде предвидима, леко елементарна. Но пък се четеше леко и приятно, така че продължих. И не съжалих - заради края си струваше - той ме изненада и развълнува, събуди романтичното в мен. Затворих последната страница с много хубаво чувство.

Sparks returns to characters from "The Notebook" and writes about Allie and Noah Calhoun's oldest daughter, Jane, and her husband, Wilson. As their thirtieth anniversary approaches, Wilson realizes that he loves Jane now more than ever and worries that his neglect (he completely forgot their twenty-ninth anniversary) may have finally driven her away.

The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks is about a man named Wilson and his current life experiences. He’s feeling as though him and his wife are falling out of love with each other due to Wilson always working, and regretfully forgot their anniversary. As if that’s not enough he found out his oldest daughter Anna is finally getting married.

Is this book a sequel to the Notebook? Because it makes references to the Notebook, but maybe he's just trying to get your interest piqued so that you want to go and find his other books and read.
I loved this book. It was so cute. I want to find rose petals all throughout the house and find a cute dress and high heels. I don't even need to be picked up in the limo. I think a great romantic night planned would be absolutely incredible! I swooned when I read it.

The Wedding is a book that is meant to prove that it is possible to rekindle love and regain what was lost. In October 2003, Wilson Lewis forgot his thirtieth wedding anniversary. His marriage to Jane then starts to fall apart. Jane becomes distant, and barely even talked to Wilson. They were not a couple any more, they were colleagues. Wilson decided things needed to change, so he plans to make his wife fall in love with him all over again. For a year, Wilson plans with Anna, his oldest daught...more
2 stars is a bit harsh, I'd give it another half if I could. It's not that I didn't kind of enjoy this book, it's just that it seemed a little, okay a lot contrived. There is no way a man would ever behave this way...even a good and decent and worthwhile one. Even a romantic one. I just think books like this contribute to divorced women who sit at home reading sappy romances and wondering why they can't find a man like that. Give the guys a break. How does Nicholas Sparks come up with this...more
This was a good book that showed the later part of a relationship once the original infatuation has worn off. It follows a middle-aged man through his journey to win back the love and affection of his wife. The story is a contradiction offering hope in an immediate gratification society where spouses divorce rather than try to fix their marital problems. It was not extremely but did possess a happy ending. I originally read this novel because on the back it claims to be a sequel to "The Not...more
The Wedding is the sequel to Sparks's popular novel/movie The Notebook. Wilson Lewis has been married for 30 years. A hard-working estate lawyer, he passed the years in his office while his saintly wife raised his three children. While certain that he is in love with his wife, he is absent-minded and practical, as opposed to romantic. Over the years, he has taken his relationship for granted, and when he completely forgets his 29th anniversary, he is sure that his wife is contemplating leaving h...more

A girl at work lent me this book to read saying that it was really good. I remembered that I checked this book out from the library many months ago and never read it. So clearly this was sign that I was suppose to read it.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a little bitter towards romance. I have nothing against it and wish that romantic things happen to everything. I've just never had anything romantic happen to me, so I have a hard time believing that it actually happens.

I was looking for something a little lighter to read, and this book was suggested to me. This was the first Nicholas Sparks book that I've read, but he's a beautiful writer. I have seen The Notebook, so I was excited for the continuation of Noah and Allie's story. I have to admit that I believe I enjoyed that more than the actual focus of the book. The book tells the story of their oldest daughter Jane and her husband as they get ready to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Wilson fee...more

This book was a really sad book. It talks about how a man, named Wilson, had to go and win his wife's heart back to him. They were really close and both loved each other for a long time, but he realized that things have changed. It could have been the age they were, or it could have been the things they went through and challenges faces. Wilson was also helping in his daughter's wedding, and realized that maybe his own relationship wasn't going the way it was supposed to. Even though there was a...more
I enjoyed "The Wedding" very much. It was very sweet, very sad. Sad not in the way you might think. Sad as in time is passing and it's sad because you can't change past mistakes. Just ordinary things that pass every day in your life, but it's sad because you don't treasure it, because you look back and you wish you had.

The book I read this nine weeks is called "The Wedding." This book is by a well-known author, Nicholas Sparks. The events in this book take place in about a course of a year (2003-2004). The main characters live in New Bern, North Carolina, which is a small town in North Carolina.
"The Wedding" has a point of view of first person, because the main character is telling the story. The main character is Wilson Lewis, who is in his fifties is retired, and is not considered...more

I loved the Notebook and a Walk to Remember, and had high hopes for this one, too. I can't say I was immediately hooked. Few writers can get away with the back story that Sparks does, and I can't say I was emotionally invested until a quarter of the way in, when I began to feel Wilson's profound desire to rekindle his wife's trust and affection.
Many times I found myself relating to the wife, though she was not the POV character. I found I had to keep reading to see if Wilson could ...more

“Yes, I decided, a man can truly change. The events of the past year have taught me much about myself, and a few universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life, leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there's been a lifetime of disappointment between them.”
