  § Because there's nothing like a wedding, without some drama §
  
  Meet Alice Shaw, a vuluptuous 26 year old art buyer and expert, whose sister is getting married and mother who's renewing her own vows. Flung into the world of cakes, dresses, cheeky bridesmaids, drunk uncles and constant pressure to get married too, she lets the tension and loneliness take over. 
  
  When Alice meets 30 year old Adriano Dukas, sparks fly easily and instantly. Alice puts herself out there on more than one occasion and explores a new side of her personality when she's with him. 
  
  As the weddings approach she knows that she must find a date in time for both parties so that she doesn't have to hear the words "okay", "cats" and "life goes on" in one sentence anymore. 
  With the help of Adriano, she helps out at the weddings full of her sister, her cousins and her crazy over-the-top family. 
  
  And the final question - Will she get married, too?
  
  The Wedding Daze makes a strong point of loving yourself, your life and your family no matter what new revelations come your way.

Violet Cherie is a 23 year old woman. She lives with her so called family which show nothing but hatred towards her. She is like a broken doll, living with the torturous abuse her family gives and has no escape from them. But what do you think will happen when Adrian Hayes, the man who bullied Violet with her stepsister years ago returns to his home town? Only this time he is coming back with a contract. A contact of marriage that claimed Violet to marry Adrian. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• "You have to marry to Adrian." I sat there frozen to my spot. There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense. Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS- • This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read. • All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.
