The Wedding People
It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn, dressed in a green dress and gold heels, carrying no bags and arriving alone. Mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding guests, Phoebe is actually the only person at the Cornwall not attending the big event. She has dreamed of coming here for years, hoping to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband. Instead, she's here alone, at rock bottom, determined to have one last indulgent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has meticulously planned every detail of the weekend, accounting for every possible disaster except for Phoebe and her unexpected plans. This makes it all the more surprising when the two women find themselves confiding in each other.
In Alison Espach’s The Wedding People, absurd humor and tender moments intertwine, offering a nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we take to places we never imagined, and the chance encounters that can reroute our lives.
