Beautiful Day by Elin Hilderbrand
4.0

Great story of a family that lost their mom before the youngest, and the "baby" gets married. Mom left a notebook about how she'd do her daughters wedding were she able to and the bride to be is fixated with making it happen per her mom's directions.

The way the author tells the story is unique, at least to me. She switches point of view from the oldest sister and maid of honor to the father of the bride, and then to the mother of the groom. She sticks in pages from the notebook and "outtakes," or bits of opinions and thoughts from others in the wedding party. Beautifully told, wonderful ending.
