Unfortunately this was an incredibly disappointing sequel.

1) There were fewer laughs.

2) The problem with Zeb was obvious from the start.

3) Why Zeb didn't retaliate or leave his fiancée when her family continued with their attempts to kill him? I mean, he lost a toe. Who wouldn't do something after that?

I think I am now well schooled in weddings, and lessons in the way proper Southern Hospitality is supposed to be followed. Two topic I don't like to discuss along with Baby showers and Family Reunions. I feel Jane's plight. I had a good time reading this, and didn't have to take any of it serious. ...more
