Wilson Lewis is a careful, unromantic man who has quietly let his marriage grow cold. After twenty-nine years, his wife Jane — the daughter of Noah and Allie Calhoun — seems to have fallen out of love with him, worn down by years of his emotional absence and preoccupation with work. When Wilson realises he may be losing her for good, he resolves to win her back.
With the wedding of their daughter approaching and the family home filling up with plans and guests, Wilson uses the occasion to court his own wife again, drawing inspiration from the enduring devotion of Jane's parents. Over the course of a single momentous week, he tries to remember how to be the husband Jane once loved, uncertain whether his efforts have come too late.
A companion to The Notebook, The Wedding revisits the Calhoun family a generation on, trading first love for the harder question of how a long marriage is kept alive. Nicholas Sparks tells a gentle, sentimental story about attention, effort, and second chances — and ends, in his characteristic way, with a final turn that recasts the week that came before.
