Maya Hollis has worn eleven bridesmaid dresses and collected enough wedding memories to last a lifetime. At thirty-five, she is happy for her friends, tired of terrible dates, and increasingly convinced that everyone else received instructions for finding love that somehow skipped her. Then she meets Alex at a wedding under circumstances too ridiculous to forget. What should be one funny encounter becomes a pattern. Weddings, mutual friends, unexpected invitations, and increasingly inconvenient chemistry keep bringing them together. Alex is charming enough to make Maya reconsider the single life she has learned to defend, but attraction is easy compared with trusting someone after disappointment. Between demanding families, old relationships, career complications, and the hazards of becoming someone else's plus-one, every new celebration pushes them a little closer. Maya has spent years standing beside brides while they step into their happily-ever-afters. With Alex, she begins to wonder whether love might arrive without a perfect plan, a dating app, or even decent timing. But real relationships are messier than wedding photographs, and both of them carry baggage that cannot be hidden behind flowers and champagne. After watching everyone else say yes, Maya must decide whether the man who keeps appearing at every turn is another wedding story or finally her own.
