    About this audiobook

    In Miss Julia Throws a Wedding, we find her feeling a little wistful when Hazel Marie, once her late husband's paramour and now her best friend, prepares to move out and live in sin with that marriage-shy Mr. Pickens. Suddenly, to Miss Julia's delight, a wedding is in the offing: Handsome Deputy Coleman Bates and attorney Binkie Enloe announce their plans to run down to the courthouse and tie the knot. But Miss Julia insists they have a real wedding ceremony and vows to make it happen. When a missing preacher, a crowd of uninvited guests, and a queasy bride threaten the happy event, Miss Julia is there to restore order, confirming her undying motto: if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!

      Synopsis: Miss Julia's lawyer and her boarder are going to get married. Miss Julia thinks that they need a real wedding rather than simply going to the courthouse. She convinces them that she can make this happen within two weeks. This leads to all sorts of issues, not the least of which is a thief who has escaped from jail and is stealing odd things from all sorts of people.Review: There's not much mystery and a whole lot of dithering and beating of breast about getting the characters married. The ending does bring in the thefts in a cute manner. I still don't like the main character much.
    • 2/5
      Although I adore Miss Julia, this installment fell flat. First of all, it is Miss Julia's wit that I am so drawn too, as well as the way that she so unknowingly noses into other people's business, and her ability to love deeply. She didn't seem quite like herself this time around. She came across as more intentionally self centered and self serving than ever before. There was quite a bit of repetitivness as Miss Julia prepared for a friends wedding. There was little else to the storyline other than a strange bit that seemed unrelated near the end.
    • 4/5
      Another in thc charming Miss Julia series, featuring a Southern "woman of a certain age" who is stronger and more meddlesome than she realizes. This is the third book in a series that now reaches to six books. I would recommend reading them in order.
    • 4/5
      I do enjoy this series, even though there are times that I get a little irritated with Miss Julia and her rather straight-laced views on life.

      In this episode of the series Miss Julia is planning a wedding to marry off Deputy Coleman and Attorney Binkie. Between the crisis of Binkie getting cold feet and the challenges of trying to throw a "proper" wedding in one week, Miss Julia is about worn to a frazzle.

      There isn't a death in this one, the criminal is an escaped thief (sounds like a kleptomaniac to me), who is running around town taking some of the strangest items, like bumper stickers and religious leaflets, big wheels and game boys.

      All comes to a head on the day of the wedding, and the description of the wedding events are wonderful, rolling on the floor laughing in places and touching as all good wedding ceremonies need to be!

      As long as I keep enjoying the series I'll keep reading.

      I love the "Miss Julia books." She's a Southern lady of a "certain age" who loses her controlling husband, finds his mistress & their 10 year old son on her doorstep, takes them in, loves them up, and they become a very unusual family. Enter Lillian, her faithful black maid and best friend who is full of good old fashioned common sense. Miss Julia's escapades will leave you laughing since after years of subservience to her diseased husband, she spreads her wings and begins to enjoy life . . . and so do we, as a result.
