The Wedding - By Nicholas Sparks

The Wedding
By Nicholas Sparks

The Wedding is the story of a middle age couple Wilson and Jane Lewis who have been married for 30 years. Jane is the daughter of Allie and Noah Calhoun from "The Notebook" fame.

Having worked hard for 30 years one day Wilson realises that he has neglected his personal life and his relationship with Jane has deteriorated. He gets this realisation when he forgets their wedding anniversary for the first time in 30 years.. He is not even sure if Jane loves him anymore.
Then starts a journey in his life where he starts wooing his wife again like he had done 30 years ago and tries to win her back.

He decides to surprise her with something unusual at their next marriage anniversary which is going to be their daughter’s wedding day too... He works hard all year taking some time off work and romancing his wife again; reliving all past memories and then pleasantly surprising her on the wedding day.
But its not so easy since he is not a man who can speak out his emotions clearly.. he has difficulty saying what he really wants to.. and to his help comes Noah his father in law, his daughter Anna and his entire family and friends who help him to surprise his wife.
Noah is featured on and off in this book and the writer does a wonderful job blending him in the story with Winston and Jane. The climax is truly special and one which at least I didn’t expect.. simply unbelievably awesome. :)
A wonderfully written book.. just loved it.. a must read for all married couples.:) :)
