Ashley Stockingdale has imagined her wedding day since she was a little girl-but that fairy tale is rapidly turning into a southern gothic tale, complete with overbearing future in-laws from 'old South' Atlanta, a groom who's too busy for details, and her own dysfunctional family. Throw in Ashley's high-pressure job that takes her out of town-and out of the loop-far too often, and suddenly a quick Las Vegas wedding is starting to look pretty darn good.

Can Ashley pull off her dream wedding (preferably without having a nervous breakdown)? Or is she destined to wear Scarlett O'Hara ruffles and leave the church under a tunnel of Confederate swords?

This comedy of manners and culture-the third in the Ashley Stockingdale series-promises to leave fans of chick lit laughing out loud.
