When an unexpected crisis shatters their wedding night, Julie and Ben are forced onto separate paths before their life together even begins.

Amidst the soothing rhythm of the waves and the healing magic of Seabreeze Cottage, the past they both fled begins to resurface. Julie has built a life of quiet strength, but seeing Ben again stirs questions she thought she'd answered long ago. Can a heart truly mend when the foundations were broken so early? Or can the echoes of an old love lead them to a new, more resilient beginning? After the Wedding is a moving story of loss, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to start over. Perfect for fans of emotional women's fiction and stories of faith, forgiveness, and the enduring power of love.
