Such a fun story to read. I have always enjoyed Toni Shiloh’s books, and this short story does not disappoint. I definitely recommend it to readers of contemporary romance.

Are y'all seeing this absolutely adorable cover?! It's downright irresistible and so is the sweet story inside! I'm really glad this whole proxy wedding situation didn't launch into a mishandled paperwork meets accidental marriage of inconvenience debacle.

Short & Sweet!
*Borrowed from Kindle Unlimited*
Short and sweet! Perfect for the waiting room.
Brenda and Adam have s couple of very good friends in Carly and Damien. I liked that Damien was willing to drive Carly from San Francisco to Montana because she didn't fly. I liked the communication during the drive and after the "wedding." To say anything else might spoil the story so take a little time for yourself and read this short story. ...more

Beautiful story
To be honest such things as an stand in bride and groom I never knew it exist aka Proxy. The story was short I wanted it to be a little bit more. The writing is impeccable, God always put the right people together at the right time.

I read this in "A Spring of Weddings" collection. After reading a book by Toni Shiloh, I was excited to read this one, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is well-written with well-developed characters and not only easy to read, but it is hard to put down until the end. Both main characters had fears that were dictating and ruining their life. I loved the quote: “No one is unlovable in God’s eyes. Our parents’ choices do not determine our future.” This is such a fun read, and I look forward to more

What do you do when you want to get married but you’re not in the same place and you’re in the military? Well, you get married by proxy. Now, I never knew there was such a thing as a proxy wedding, but after reading this book I decided to look it up. What an interesting concept!
However, this book isn’t just about a proxy wedding, it’s about two people coming together to help their friends out and then finding they have a connection.

A nice escape
This story is a fun, lighthearted escape. The story moves quickly; I finished it in about 2 hours. It would be a great beach read. The plot was unique, and the characters were reasonably well-developed given the length of the book. Worth the time for sure.

Short, sweet, and super-cute! This was such a heart-warming short story....I really enjoy Toni Shiloh’s writing: sweet and romantic but always including God. Loved it! (And I had no idea that a “proxy wedding” was a real thing, so I learned something too!) No one is too far away for God to reach.
In my opinion, this was by no means a short story. Nevertheless, it was an excellent book. I have come to expect nothing less from Toni Shiloh.
This was a cute and delightful story. two strangers, are asked to stand in proxy of their respective best friend's (who are marrying each other) proxy wedding. It is a very cute and enjoyable read.

A fun novella, this was the perfect first read of the year for me.
Cute Read
It was a really cute, quick read. Good, clean Christian romance. The characters were well developed and the dialogue was believable.

Sweet whirlwind romance!
What a great read. It has a dashing hero, beautiful heroine, romance, and an interesting twist of a plot.
Toni Shiloh captured the thrill of finding Mr. Right even when your brain tells you otherwise.
I really enjoyed it, it's the perfect rainy day read, or stealing a few moments to yourself treat. ...more

Quick and fun
Sometimes short stories feel rushed and leave the reader wishing there was more. That is not the case for this one. This little story was well planned, well executed and fun. The proxy wedding trope was unusual and made everything work. I loved it.

Wonderful sweet and very human story
I read this story in my lunch break yes it was a slightly extended lunch, but only because it was such an entertaining and captivating story. Great characters, a wonderful story and although it was sweet it was real and totally relatable.

Hmmmm
At first I thought it was unbelievable. It was simple, clean and an enjoyable treat. The faith aspect was not overwhelming but it was adequately handled.
