The Wedding People

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe’s plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.

Description

The Wedding People: Not Everyone Came for the Wedding

“The Wedding People” by Alison Espach is a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent novel that blends dry humor, introspection, and social observation into a sharp narrative set against the backdrop of a luxury seaside hotel. The story centers on Phoebe, a woman recently navigating deep personal grief, who impulsively checks into a wedding venue on the Connecticut coast—not to attend a wedding, but to escape her life. What unfolds is not just a story of her healing but a layered look into the lives of the so-called wedding people around her: brides, grooms, guests, staff, and strangers all moving through joy, chaos, doubt, and revelation during one emotionally charged weekend. As Phoebe forms unexpected connections, particularly with a mysterious man also hiding from his past, the novel meditates on themes of love, loss, identity, and the performative nature of happiness. Narrated with emotional nuance by Helen Laser, the audiobook delivers an immersive, almost cinematic experience that captures both the humor and heartbreak of starting over when life doesn’t go according to plan.
