White Christmas wedding is a tale of many people who are coming together in a small Michigan town for a Christmas wedding.  Two worlds collide as wealthy New Yorkers descend on the small rural town for the wedding. 

Beth Dean would love to get married in New York City, but has returned home for her wedding so that her beloved Grandmother can attend.  It also helps to keep the spirit of her late father as part of the wedding festivities.  Beth loves her fiancée Tom, but his mother, Gloria, drives her crazy, bringing a copy of a prenuptial agreement with her to Michigan.  Beth’s friend Jen is starting her wedding planning business with this wedding as her first.  She has things planned perfectly, but a snowstorm lays waste to the perfect plans.  Beth’s bridesmaid and friend Destiny wonders if she should have settled down right after high school or if she should have tried life in the big city, while New Yorker Sylvia finds herself attracted to rural man with few words, Winston.

Narrator Charlotte Penfield had a halting style that I had a hard time listening to with this audiobook.  I loved the story itself and the entire caste of characters.  It had great humorous moments and great moments of people understanding what is most important in their lives.  As a native Michigander, I could relate to many moments, although some didn’t make sense (such as people in the country not having snow blowers and just driving out of their driveways with their trucks. . . maybe for some that works, but that is definitely not true.)

Overall, White Christmas Wedding was a delightful multi-arc Christmas audiobook that reminds the reader what is most important at weddings and Christmastime.
