The Wedding

By: Nicholas Sparks

Narrated by: Tom Wopat

In this stunning New York Times bestselling follow-up to The Notebook, a hardworking but distant husband vows to win back the love of his life by looking to Noah and Allie's legendary romance.

After thirty years, Wilson Lewis is forced to face a painful truth: the romance has gone out of his marriage. His wife, Jane, has fallen out of love with him, and it is entirely his fault. Despite the shining example of his in-laws, Noah and Allie Calhoun, and their fifty-year love affair, Wilson himself is a man unable to express his true feelings. He has spent too little time at home and too much at the office, leaving the responsibility of raising their children to Jane. Now his daughter is about to marry, and his wife is thinking about leaving him. But if Wilson is sure of anything, it is this: His love for Jane has only grown over the years, and he will do everything he can to save their marriage. With the memories of Noah and Allie's inspiring life together as his guide, he vows to find a way to make his wife fall in love with him...all over again.

In this powerfully moving tale of love lost, rediscovered, and renewed, Nicholas Sparks once again brings readers his unique insight into the only emotion that ultimately really matters.

An Enjoyable Story of Redemption.....

I loved this story, it held my interest from beginning to end..... The wedding is almost a sequel to The Notebook, but it's the next generation... the children of Ali and Noah. It's about the love a husband has for his wife and the lengths he goes to save his marriage and to renew his wife's love again. When a husband forgets the most important day of his marriage, he figures a way to make up for his memory loss. Its about love, romance and redemption. This is an easy listen.... recommend as a good change of pace listen.

The narration by Tom Wopat was superb. If you like Nicholas Sparks novels, then you will most likely love this one!

Thumbs up

Tom Wopat is an excellent narrator. Ive loved this book for years. One of my favorites!

awesome ending

I love this book. I read it every year. sometimes twice. this year I listened to it. it was a nice change. the most romantic story I've ever read. Every man should read this book if he wants to be a better spouse.

Even better than the notebook!

The reading was perfect! The story was every woman's dream. Such a very acquirable and believeable story. You never know what true love can really do. It inspires people to look beyond today and see what truly can be accomplished. Loved it.

true love deserves....

So many time we take the easy route and forget to fight for love. Wilson took for granted that once a person finds the love, then that's the end. He simply forgot the things you do for love. This book gives the reader a gentle reminder that love is a great gift. To chose to truly believe in love with the past, in the present and for the future. If you enjoyed the Notebook, you'll fall in love again with The Wedding.
