Synopsis
Sometimes the best man isn't even in the wedding party...
Gavin Greene is a hopeless romantic. He's also a professional one: He writes the wedding column for a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, covering spectacular parties from coast to coast. But there's a thin line between being a hotshot reporter on assignment...and being a single guy alone on a Saturday night at someone else's wedding.
Everything changes on New Year's when Gavin meets Melinda, a travel writer with an adventurous spirit. A moonlit stroll across a Manhattan rooftop seems to seal the deal. But then she slips away.
Gavin crisscrosses New York City to find her again, navigating stressed-out brides, gossip blogs, a budget-cutting boss and his daft but well-meaning parents. Along the way, he learns that there's something worse than losing the woman of his dreams -- having to write an article about her wedding.

Reviews
Sipher, a writer for the New York Times’ “Vows” wedding column, mines his own experiences for this novel about Gavin Greene, a wedding columnist who wants to settle down. On New Year’s Eve he meets Melinda, a charming and well-traveled writer, but doesn’t work up the nerve to get her number. In between spending weekends at other people’s weddings and weekdays trying to protect his job from the paper’s cutbacks, Gavin tries to track her down. Then Melinda unexpectedly reenters his life—as a bride whose wedding he’s assigned to cover. Gavin must decide whether pursuing her is worth jeopardizing his career. Sipher’s fictional stand-in is winsome and his style is reminiscent of Kyle Smith’s popular debut, Love Monkey (2004). The novel’s plot is standard romantic-comedy fare, but it’s clear Sipher’s background has made him expert at capturing the small but significant details of a love story. --Aleksandra Walker
