Guest Blog: Lisa Carlisle: Weddings - Romantic and Stressful!

Weddings are all about love and romance. You're surrounded by couples who've been together for many years and celebrating the union of a couple who are pledging to do the same. Unfortunately, they can also be stressful to take part in or attend--so much involved including travel, events, planning, outfits, and gifts.

In my short romance, Better than Cake, the story is set around a couple attending the wedding of a college friend Stephanie has lost touch with. After numerous weddings that year, the stress has taken it's toll on them both. Stephanie and Johnny have a huge fight before the reception, one that threatens their marriage. Can they save it before it's too late?

BLURB:
After the worst fight of their relationship, the last place Stephanie wants to be is a wedding reception. She still can’t get over what happened. Could their five years of marriage be destroyed after a blast of heated words? Johnny suggested separating. Separating! Now with her marriage on the line, she has to put on a brave face and pretend love is grand.

Johnny doesn’t know why he’d freaked out the way he had and is left with one emotion. Regret. He doesn’t want to lose Stephanie. He must find her and make things right.

Stephanie enters the reception, fearing the end of her marriage. Johnny has something else in mind—a much more decadent proposal that will turn her friend’s wedding into an event they’ll never forget.

Reviews
“A beautiful short story over how something bad can be turned into something nice.”

“A great short story. I really liked the story, the wedding excited them and I liked how it ended as well. It was fun and a quick witty and naughty story.”

“A delightful short story that shows the impact words can make but how love, determination, and forgiveness can right the wrong.”

Thanks, all! I enjoyed writing a romance between a couple who have been together for some time, facing a bump in their relationship.

Sounds like a great story, Lisa. Bumps in the road are normal and it fun to see how an author tackles them.

Like the premise of your story. Marriages are never static, and anyone thinking so risks being unpleasantly surprised.
