"...funny, witty and very interesting."
Lizzie Nichols is a quick witted, spanx wearing, retro wedding dress restorer on the fast track of designing wedding gowns. All the top starlets and supermodels want her to design their gowns.
And it all seems to happen to her at one time.
She's engaged to Luke, who is absolutely full of himself. He can't decide if he wants to be a doctor or an investment banker in another country. And then there's Chaz, a great guy who's still in school and is one of her best friends. These two put Lizzie in between the proverbial rock and a hard place from the beginning.
When she gets engaged to Luke, she starts to realize she's really in love with Chaz (after having some life altering things happen to her). Basically, she learns where her heart has pretty much always been. After that, every time she starts to think about planning her own wedding she breaks out in hives and finally figures out that's her first clue that something's wrong. But in the end true love wins out, and she really makes it on her own.
This is an excellent book, its funny, witty and very interesting. Ms. Cabot has really caught my attention and will be on my look out for list of authors to watch for. A definite keeper!

Book Description for Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
Big mouth. Big heart.
Big wedding. Big problems.
It's the wedding of the century!
Things are looking up at last for Lizzie Nichols. She has a career she loves in the field of her choice (wedding gown restoration), and the love of her life, Jean-Luc, has finally proposed. Life's become a dizzying whirl of wedding gown fittings—not necessarily her own— as Lizzie prepares for her dream wedding at her fiancé's château in the south of France.
But the dream soon becomes a nightmare as the best man—whom Lizzie might once have accidentally slept with . . . no, really, just slept—announces his total lack of support for the couple, a sentiment the maid of honor happens to second; Lizzie's Midwestern family can't understand why she doesn't want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future, oh-so-proper French in-laws seem to be slowly trying to lure the groom away from medical school and back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed.
Is Lizzie really ready to embrace her new role as wife and mistress of Château Mirac? Or is she destined to fall into another man's arms . . . and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?
