I just realised that previous Wedding Books of the Week have included wedding-related planners, quizzes, scrapbooks, essays, humour, supernatural fiction, literary fiction, chick lit and romance, but I haven’t yet featured inspirational fiction.

The Wedding Machine by Beth Webb Hart is number 18 in the Women of Faith Fiction series and “is a celebration of life-long friendship – the kind that endures death and divorce, accidents and alligators, hot flashes and hurricanes. Even the drama of small-town Southern weddings done exactly right.”

For more books, wedding-related and otherwise (including inspirational fiction), visit our female fiction site, Trashionista.
