"Penelope and Chase make a lovely couple. The bride is a bubbly California girl a killer work ethic. The groom is smart and charming and has political aspirations. They're planning a spectacular Montecito wedding, wrapped in peonies and thousands of little white lights, soaked in custom cocktails and romantic hashtags. Everyone's excited about the wedding - except their mothers. The Mother of the Bride, suave Greek-born Alexa Diamandis, doesn't understand why any woman would get married. Ever! She raised Penny as a single mother by choice, supported by Lord Simon Fox, her old college friend who just happens to be an English aristocrat, and a wealthy circle of lady friends who call themselves the Merry Widows. The Mother of the Groom, Abigail Blakeman, is a garden club stalwart firmly planted in coastal Connecticut. She would prefer the wedding be held at their golf club, especially now that the Blakeman's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse - not that you could ever tell by looking at Abigail, who knows how to keep up appearances. But when a sudden twist of fate calls them into action, Alexa and Abigail are forced to take over the wedding planning and work together. How far will two very different mothers go to make their children's dream a reality?" -- Jacket flap
