Scheduled the week before Christmas, this outdoor event is sure to wow guests and paparazzi alike. If the bride's predictions are right--and when is the famed meteorologist ever wrong?--temperatures will be in the upper 60s on this starry, starry night.

My personal Rating-

While the Bella series is not my favorite of Miss Janice’s many books and series, it was an important series to her writing career and I did mostly like them. Like in that original series, there are some comments or hints that I’m not overall thrilled with since they are married and like to kiss. This novella still had the classic humor & Spiritual Content that every Janice Thompson book has, though, so that was great! 😊

See y’all on Friday with a new review!
