Kate's WeddingWhen Kate Williamson's boyfriend Ian unexpectedly proposes to her at the top of the Eiffel tower, what should be the most romantic moment of her life...isn't, quite. The weather is misty and damp. The platform is crammed with tourists. When Ian pops the question, Kate feels ambushed and uncertain. Is this what she really wants?Diana Ashcroft, on the other hand, knows exactly what she wants.  She expects a proposal from Ben, and she gets it. And she knows exactly what kind of wedding she wants. Kate Middleton - a commoner - is about to marry Prince William.  Diana and Ben must have a tasteful engagement photo, just like Kate and Wills. They must have a cathedral wedding. And Diana must have a perfect, extravagant, expensive dress.When Kate's mum is diagnosed with cancer, Ian's lack of empathy puzzles and then angers her. Does she really want to spend the rest of her life with a man who's obsessed with West Ham to the exclusion of all else and who can't heat up his own ready meal?One of the doctors at her mum's hospital is Kate's old boyfriend, Matt. Will they rekindle the old flame now that he's divorced and Kate is disenchanted with Ian?Kate's Wedding is a thoughtful and often funny look at romantic expectations versus reality. This is an excellent, entertaining read.
