Summer is the unofficial wedding season, and with COVID restrictions loosening, I’m sure many of us are seeing our summer calendars filling up with some long overdue weddings and wedding parties! Whether you love or hate these kinds of celebrations, they are always the perfect recipe for some delicious drama and romance, which is why I thought it would be fun to focus on some YA books about weddings, wedding planning, and all of the ritual and spectacle that goes along with them!
Note: I would have loved to find more YA books about weddings that feature LGBTQ+ couples and weddings, but sadly had no luck. That’s one area where I hope to see publishing improve!
Sister of the Bollywood Bride by Nandini Bajpai
Mini’s big sister is engaged and is finally getting married, and Mini can’t wait to throw Vinnie the big, beautiful desi wedding she deserves — after all, no one else will since their mom died and their dad is too consumed with work. But as Mini throws herself into the planning (and on a tight timeline, no less!) she finds many roadblocks and distractions, some in the form of the very hot Vir Mirchandani. But when a hurricane threatens to derail the big day, can Mini come up with a solution to save her sister’s wedding?

As the weeks count down to the wedding, Josie goes to increasing lengths to prevent Kate’s marriage from happening, which could jeopardize all of the relationships she values the most.
