It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island when Phoebe Stone arrives at the beach-side hotel wearing her best dress and least comfortable shoes. Immediately she is mistaken for one of the wedding people, but she's actually the only guest who isn't there for the big event.

Phoebe has dreamed of coming here for celebrations that never happened and now that she has nothing else planned except more gin & tonics, decides why not today.

When the bride hears about this sad stranger, she is furious. Lila will not let anyone ruin her perfect wedding day and decides to take care of it herself. But not everything in life goes according to plan and fate has other ideas for both these women . . .

A funny and moving story about love, friendship, dysfunctional families, and the unexpected paths that lead to happiness.
