The Amish Wedding Book Review

I was happy to have a few books that I reserved at the library before the libraries in the area shut down.  An Amish Wedding by Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller and Kelly Long was the next book in my pile to read which I finished a little while ago.  I was excited that it was different book because it was three short stories because it means that I can finish one story and put it down.  It was a great book to enjoy a little bit more fun life.



Three best-selling authors. Three possible brides. Three separate tales. They come together for an Amish wedding.  Priscilla King has dreamed of being married to Chester Lapp since she was sixteen. With the help of her sister Naomi’s matchmaking skills, Chester proposes to Priscilla on her nineteenth birthday. As the wedding day approaches, problems emerge: an attendant with poison ivy, a failed celery crop, and a torn wedding dress.  At the same time, Priscilla’s best friend Rose is convinced her fiancé is hiding something and she is intent on discovering the truth at any cost.
Naomi remains hopeful that she, too, will soon find her perfect match. When Chester’s cousin shows up, there’s an immediate attraction between him and Naomi—'s well as an obstacle that may just as immediately derail their blossoming love.  Is God sending a message to stop the wedding? What is certain is that the hearts of these three women will be forever transformed by this touching Amish wedding.

It was a great grouping of three books written by three authors.  The first story was called the Perfect Secret about Luke and Rose who believe that their partner that they are going to marry is just a friend.  Rose finds out that Luke is the thief who is going around and taking things from the neighborhood and she discovers the secrets that he is hiding.  They become closer during this secret because it becomes something that they share.  The second book was the Perfect Match.  I enjoyed getting to know Naomi and Zeke who are involved in the wedding.  Naomi was pushing Zeke away but everyone is working to help Zeke show her how much he cares.  The third book is the Perfect Plan.  Priscilla is worried about different things because she has control issue and she learns to turn over her issues to God.  Chester is worried about letting down Priscilla because he has had many set backs in the house construction and other things that he is doing towards their marriage.  Each story brought fun new characters and stories that I enjoyed getting to know while still learning about the wedding and all of the things that have gone into it.  I was a little confused on the last story because it seemed like it should be in a different order but it quickly went from the past quickly to the future and it suddenly made sense.  It was a great series of stories that I recommend to check out.  I hope that you check out this book and enjoy it for yourself.
