The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck

Do you still have your wedding dress? Is there a wedding dress in your family that’s been handed down over the generations? 

What does an old wedding dress, a man dressed in purple and two engaged women have in common? Those elements have a lot in common in this book! Engaged, Charlotte has yet to find the perfect wedding dress for her upcoming nuptials. She and her fiancé, Tim, have not even mailed out their wedding invites. When Charlotte purchases an old wedding dress at auction, her whole world changes as she goes on a quest to find out the former owners.

Emily’s story (one of the former wedding dress owners) is set in 1912. She’s engaged to Phillip Saltonstall, but, why can’t she shake the romantic feelings she has for her former beau (Daniel Ludlow) when he returns from his baseball season? He abandoned her, and since she has never heard from him, she figured he didn’t want to continue their relationship. Emily is floored when she finds out the truth about Daniel’s lack of communication.

This book will take you back in time. The stories of the former owners include thought-provoking subjects, such as racial tension. Overall, a good read.

So, do you still have your wedding dress? Is there a wedding dress in your family that’s been handed down for generations?
