The story entails the bride of the fictional Lord St. Simon disappearing on the day of their marriage.
The events of the wedding day are most perplexing to Lord St. Simon, as it seemed to him that his bride, Miss Hatty Doran of San Francisco, was full of enthusiasm about their impending marriage. Lord St. Simon tells Holmes that he noticed a change in the young lady's mood just after the wedding ceremony. She was uncharacteristically sharp with him.
"The bride wore a long white dress, with flowers in her hair. After the wedding, there was a party, and people gave presents to the bride and groom." This wedding was nearly two thousand years ago, in Rome. Some things don't change. But some things do. Today you can have a wedding on a mountain, or under the sea, or "Elvis" can sing for you. And different things happen in different places. Little birds made of paper, small trees, money in the bride's shoe, and lots of noise - they are all important for weddings somewhere. Welcome to the wonderful world of weddings!

I had never read any of Meg's books until we went to a book signing in 2012. Since Meg was promoting Size 12 and ready to Rock we had to purchase that book from the retailer so my teen could have her books signed. I started with that book and got hooked on the series. Of course I had to get The Bride Wore Size 12 to see what Heather was up to now. It was a great read. I love Meg's style. She writes just like she talks (go to a signing, she really does!) and it is great.
