Becky's best friend, Suze, is getting married. Of course she is happy for Suze, but it makes her wonder about her relationship with Luke. Just as she starts to worry... Luke proposes! Becky is delighted. But then things get complicated: Becky's mum starts planning a backyard wedding with Becky in her mum's old gown. But Luke's mother also starts planning, an elaborate wedding in a huge expensive hotel with all the trimmings. Becky is trapped, she wants a fancy dream wedding, but her parents are so happy to have her married in the backyard and she can't seem to turn anyone down!

Same flaws as the rest of the books: Becky is weak-willed and seems a bit dim. The writing is witty and interesting and the plot is not half bad, but Becky is really annoying!
