like Edith's wedding where she is stood up by her ...

Don't buy this set.  There are many scenes that don't make sense because so many key episodes are missing, like Edith's wedding where she is stood up by her fiance. The scene where Sybil dies is missing.  The end of disc 2 in season 3 shows Bates in jail reading letters from Anna, and she in her bed reading his letters.  The beginning of disc 3 shows Bates back at the abbey as if he had never left.  These are just 3 of many missing scenes.  Really frustrating when you put in a lot of time to watch the show and without knowing much about it, it is really obvious so much has been left out.  I was left scratching my head many times and compared notes with my sister and she filled me in.

I liked this story a lot, and felt it was so close to a female-empowering pov. I was disappointed at the conventional ending, because the rest of the story was about a woman who really went against tradition and stuck up for herself and other women. In the end (spoiler alert) she meets a nice guy and gets married. It might have been better if the story didn't end so predictably.

This is my favorite novel by Edith Layton.  It is a beautiful love story, carefully developed throughout the story.  FYI this story is the exact opposite of THE DUKE'S WAGER and THE DISDAINFUL MARQUIS.  Not remotely similar.  Here we have an honorable hero...a good man.

After a horrible first marriage, Morgan didn't care for a repeat.  But he did need to select an heir from among three distant cousins.  The three were invited to Lyonshall to become acquainted and to eventually be interviewed by him and a selection made.

Among the three was Anthony, a radical young twerp, accompanied by his older cousin, Elizabeth.  Gently bred, the two lived in poverty~Elizabeth worked in a millinery shop.  Their family scraped together the means to outfit Elizabeth and Anthony as aristocrats, a pretense that bothered honorable Elizabeth.

The other two candidates were dour Richard and a chubby youngster, Owen, brought by his mother, Isabel.  Though on the fringe of society, Isabel was a schemer and all but a lightskirt.  The other two people who made up this houseparty was Lord Beverly, Morgan's lifelong best friend (I loved Bev) and a late, unexpected arrival, Lord Kingston, who had become Morgan's friend when they were both hospitalized during the Napoleonic Wars.

Heavens, this review is just dry as dust and I LOVED the story!  Maybe I should have just left it at a "beautiful love story."  It was; it was romantic; there was scheming (don't forget Isabel;) there was excitement; there was villainy; there was pathos.  There was a sublime conversation between Morgan and Elizabeth together with some beautifully-written, heartrending passages.

This is, by far, my favorite Layton novel, very emotional and romantic.  I apologize for such a dud of a review.

Enjoy your reading! :)

Ah ha! The characters matured and entered into the wedding dance of Unity. The coming together of two to become one and all the shades of this and the nuances. A teaching film - to be viewed over and over.

EDITH tells a story that makes you a person living in the time.  I feel this is a true story that must be told so others will remember.

Zombies are everywhere as Threadville prepares for their Halloween craft fair and Edna's wedding. Most of the shop's owner have guest staying with them including Willow whose guest is forced on her my her Mother. As a joke the Willow and friends have made a huge overskirt for the wedding. Iris, self claimed witch, is found in it drowned in it. Willow and Hayylee investigate the death as Edna is a prime suspect. Parts of this book I found hard to put. I recommend it.

The prediction by a demon of violence at Princess Alassa's wedding is not handled well.  Everyone relaxed after the private ceremony but the details of the prediction matched the public ceremony.  Surprise. Surprise.  The trouble occurred at the public ceremony.

This is mostly a journal of Edith and few family members. It is a interesting view though quite different from most novels of the holocaust. I find some of her heroics unbelievable, they did capture my attention.

This dress happens to match my daughter's wedding dress so of course it was an absolute must to order it.  The quality is excellent and the fanciness of this dress cannot be overstated!  Looooove it!

The Wedding Dress is the story of one dress that has touched the lives of four women. The dress is originally made for Emily in 1912. She is to be married to a gentleman in high society and expected to wear a dress made by the top designer in town, but instead seeks the skills of dressmaker who just happens to be a colored, making it against the law and culture of her time.

The dress weaves itself into the life of not only Emily but two other brides before being found by a young lady, Charlotte, who is concerned about whether or not she is making the right decision in marrying a the young man who has captured her heart.

Discovering the history of the dress helps Charlotte not only figure out who she is, but also what she desires for her future. Hauck does an excellent job of weaving in the idea of Gospel being something that fits each of us perfectly and never ages. She shows how each of the women struggle with different aspects of the gospel to only have them over come when they accept the role of the dress in their life. Each struggles with love, charity, forgiveness, and being a part of a rich history.

The novel does a wonderful job of bringing the reality of the bridegrooms love for us to fruition. The characters are compelling, almost making me wish that each one had her own book. This is a great weekend read.

I like the most was the romantic tale of two people being together across the room !! The least thing I  like was the timing of two close for the wedding. !!Glad she dropped the guy before she married him !!

The planned wedding of Noah and Allie's grandaughter, Anna is just the backdrop of this poignant novel. Anna and Keith don't want to make a big fuss ( a Justice of the Peace will suit them just fine) but they're encouraged by Anna's parents to have a traditional wedding.

Anna's parents, Jane and Wilson are in the midst of marital discord. After twenty-nine years of marriage, Jane has become dissatisfied and plans to make a major decision with regard to her marriage. Anna's unhappy parents welcome the distraction of planning their daughter's wedding.

Meanwhile, Wilson, who doesn't want to lose his wife, turns to his elderly father-in-law for advice. I found this aspect of THE WEDDING, particularly touching. In a culture where the elderly are pushed aside and deemed to no longer have anything of value to contribute, Wilson earnestly believes that Noah can offer him sound advice. He believes this despite the fact that Noah who could be viewed as being out of touch with reality in light of the fact that he converses regularly with a swam whom he believes to be the reincarnation of his beloved Allie.

Noah encourages Wilson to court Jane, to put some romance back into the marriage.

This beautifully written story will touch your heart and make you a true believer of the theory of that each of us has a soulmate, but that fact doesn't mean the road to love will always be paved smoothly. There will be bumps along the way, but love truly conquers all.
