Summary of one chapter:

Chapter 1:

At the wedding reception the grup of friends stayed together and also Charles talks with Carrie.At the end Tom invited all his friend to went to his castle but finally Charles didn't go there and he went to a pub with Carrie.



Opinion:
In my opinion I liked this novel. In all the weddings hapens something that makes each one special. There are  very different characters but they are all conected very well. The part that i dind't like was Gareth's funeral because it's a sad chapter between all the weddings.
