Christine Scott - I Do? I Don't?

Cover Page

Excerpt Niki caught a glance of her own desperate image in the dressing room mirror. Staring back at her was a bride with a riot of red hair mussed from ill treatment, freckles that stood out against too-pale skin. A glazed, terror-stricken glint graced her wide green eyes. The bride of Frankenstein couldn’t have looked worse. She sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm her strained nerves. “Everything will be fine,” she whispered. “You’ve got the perfect groom, the perfect dress…you’re going to have the perfect wedding.” Niki closed her eyes and tried to envision her perfect wedding. An evening service at the neighborhood church. Candlelight, flowers and satin ribbons. The groom in a black tuxedo, his white shirt nicely complementing his dark good looks… Her eyes flew open. Dark good looks? Her groom-to-be was sandy-haired and fair. Jack was dark-haired and tan. Good heavens, her perfect groom was Jack Sinclair!

Things to do before the wedding Things to do before the wedding: 1. Finalize seating plan. Make sure to separate Mom and Mrs. Sinclair, or they’ll spend the whole night yelling, “I object!” 2. Have final dress fitting. Ignore best friend’s wise-guy comments that it’s not too late to back out. 3. During bridal shower, break up fistfight between my straitlaced future husband and way-too-sexy Jack Sinclair. 4. Avoid treetop encounters with Jack. If he wants to talk, let him use the phone like everyone elsel 5. Figure out which groom to marry before it’s time to say “I do!”
