Binkie and Coleman announce that they have decided to go to the courthouse next weekend and get married. Miss Julia is so happy and relieved - she thinks it's about time they quit living in sin! Just a simple wedding with the justice of the peace won't do and she suggests that they let her plan a wedding for them. Needless to say, there are a few trials to overcome, like the bride and groom getting cold feet, the construction of the church center across the street with all the people coming and going, not to mention Hazel Marie's skimpy bridesmaid dress. Well, the chaos only adds to the fun, especially when Miss Julia is in charge.
As usual, Ann Ross keeps things light and fun with her prim and proper Miss Julia. Just about the time when I am sick and tired of Miss Julia being so worried about how things will look and doing the right thing according to the rules of etiquette, she figures out what is really important and does things her own distinctive way. The characters in this book were delightful and it is so easy to picture them all - by the end, they all seem like old friends. Miss Julia is truly a colorful character and I get a kick out of her!
