The Guy at The Wedding

It's the story of the night Jake and Helen (the main characters in Happiness for Beginners) first met.

The first time Jake ever sees Helen, he's crashing her wedding with her little brother, Duncan—and Jake glimpses her for the first time as the boys burst into her dressing room without knocking just as Helen is adjusting the garter under her wedding dress.

Jake imprints on her right then—and he's doomed to be in love from then on. Even though she's ten years older and, um, in the process of marrying someone else—that first night they meet throws them together in ways that Jake will never forget.
