Book Description:
Readers love Miss Julia, the proper lady of a certain age with a backbone of iron and perfect Steel Magnolia poise, not to mention the sharpest tongue south of the Mason-Dixon Line. 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!

Miss Julia Throws a Wedding is the third in the Miss Julia series. Many readers hope that the wedding she is throwing would be her own with Sam or one for Hazel Marie and Mr. Pickens. But it is her boarder Deputy Coleman and her lawyer Binkie. They are expecting a baby. The fun begins when Binkie starts questioning if they should get married, the young preacher goes nuts, and the Virgin Mary appears across the street from Miss Julia’s home.

Fun book!

If you like the "Dear Dorothy" series, you will probably also like this. Miss Julia is quite a character!

Coleman Bates and Binkie Enloe are engaged, and to Miss Julia that can mean only one thing - a REAL wedding with all the southern "frills". Of course, nothing is ever as it seems for Miss Julia and it just adds to the fun. She may not be a "Steel Magnolia", but she sure is a sweet, funny one!

Miss Julia is a hoot. This is a "light read" but great fun.

This is the third book in the Miss Julia series by Ann B. Ross. If you have never read any of the Miss Julia books you are in for a real treat. If you can Imagine Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith Show with a lot more backbone and confidence and drop her smack in the middle of a humorous, rollicking plot. Ann B. Ross has created what is sure to become a classic Southern comic novel. Horray for Miss Julia, I could not have enjoyed it any more.

Entertaining... all seems to be going well, then everything goes amuck and you wonder if even the unflappable Miss Julia can pull everyone back together. Of course she can, but the result is a little zany.

Another good time with Miss Julia in this third installment of the series. Binkie and Coleman announce that they are eloping; which Miss Julia cannot tolerate, so she volunteers to plan the wedding which is just a week away!

Miss Julia is a proper lady of a certain age with a backbone of iron and perfect steel magnolia poise, not to mention the sharpest tongue south of the Mason-Dixon Line. But Miss Julia Throws a Wedding finds her 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 nice Mr. Pickens. And with her she's taking Little Lloyd, the apple of Miss Julia's eye!

But suddenly, to her delight, a wedding is in the offing. Handsome Deputy Sheriff Coleman Bates and attorney Binkie Enloe announce their plan to run down to the courthouse next week and tie the knot. That's no way to do it, insists Miss Julia (the only person around who knows cucumber sandwiches are correct in summer and ham biscuits in winter). Taking a few shortcuts in etiquette, Miss Julia decides to organize a real ceremony herself. Will Little Lloyd sing a solo? Will anybody notice the sparkling grape juice isn't champagne? These and other hilarious hurdles on the way to the altar reinforce Miss Julia's undying motto: if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

Author Biography: Ann B. Ross, who has taught literature at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, is the author of Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind, one of the most popular Reader's Digest Condensed Books of 1999 and one of Book Sense's Top Ten Recommended Books, and Miss Julia Takes Over.
