I love sequels and short stories of books I love, I really do, but A Beautiful Wedding has to be the most unnecessary follow-up I have ever read. In both Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster, we get glimpses of the wedding and Abby and Travis's time in Las Vegas. Personally, I was happy with those glimpses. I didn't need more. I think most fans would agree with me on that one. If anything, I would've liked more about Travis and Abby's life after getting married (graduation, jobs, kids, etc.) But no, Jamie McGuire had to write this book.

My main problem with A Beautiful Wedding is Abby's motives for marrying Travis. It's much more underhanded in this one, and while I appreciate what she was trying to do, I didn't like it. The aftermath of the fight they barely escaped was also highlighted here, and while it is bound to have an impact on both of them, I grew tired of it after a while. My favorite part of this was the end when they had a real wedding with friends and family. That would've been enough for me. There were some funny and genuine moments in A Beautiful Wedding, but most of it felt familiar. Frankly, I expect more of Jamie McGuire.
