Perfect read

Okay, I have to say that Mother of the Bride is THE perfect chick lit novel - I loved it. The entire premise is based on a wedding - which may or may not happen actually - and this sets off some of the funniest writing I have read in a long time. The bride to be - who just happens to "meet" the annoying Oliver - just before she gets married - to her mother and mother in law - both of whom have their own ideas of just how this wedding should go off. I felt for everyone in this novel - but although the premise is "supposedly" serious, I found myself laughing out loud way too many times. The writing is hilarious and some of the stuff that happens is just plain funny - I think my favorite character was the mother in law (I love those and the nastier the better). I loved this book it was a great, great read.
