We all have times when we hate our job but when your job is to celebrate the "happiest day of our lives" for starry-eyed brides and your own marriage has shattered - that's a tough gig.
Murphy draws on her experience as a marriage celebrant to deftly portray her ten wedding parties with everything from sweet young things and autumn romance to bridezilla and warring Romeo and Juliet lovers (where the reception centre has the police on speed dial "just-in-case").
Amongst the comic relief is the pain and anger of a long-term marriage broken by infidelity; the irritation and power of sisterly love and the realisation that through all life's battles it is the strength of family and friends that brings new hope and new beginnings.
I'll be downloading the sequel for my next holiday read.
