Ed Middleton is ecstatic: hes just got engaged to his girlfriend, Sam, and he couldnt be happier. At least, hethinkshes engaged. The thing is, it was Sam who did the proposing, and the more he thinks about it, the less hes sure that she was actually asking him to marry her. She could have just been asking the question, you know...hypothetically. As the wedding day draws nearer, Ed becomes more and more uneasy. Sam keeps disappearing off for furtive meetings and private phone calls, and when he spies her going into a pub with a man hes never seen before, all his old jealousies and insecurities threaten to re-surface. Its the perfect time for Eds unhinged ex-girlfriend, Jane, to show up on his doorstep. Meanwhile, Dan - Eds best-friend and soon-to-be-best-man - is determined to throw him a stag night to remember.

Will Ed manage to find out the truth about his stag night as well as the identity of Sams secret man? Or will an accidental proposal lead them both down the aisle to a wedding neither of them ever imagined?

A wise and moving laugh-out-loud feel-good story for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi McFarlane and Lindsey Kelk. Ben Grant is fed up with always meeting the wrong girl. Having just celebrated his 29th birthday by being dumped by his 29th girlfriend, he decides he cant go on like this. Why cant he be as blissfully happy as his best friend Ashif, about to marry the beautiful Prithi, a bride chosen for him by his parents? Suddenly Ben has a great idea: why not ask his own parents to do the same for him? But while Bens parents see this as the perfect opportunity to set their son on the right path to matrimonial bliss, it soon becomes clear that Bens idea of the kind of woman he wants to settle down with is quite different from that of his somewhat traditional mum and dad. Following a series of disastrous dates, Ben starts to realize that he wouldnt let his parents pick him out a shirt to wear, let alone a woman to marry. But when Ben finally meets the girl he thinks might be the one, he realizes that maybe he does have something to learn from his mum and dad after all. Can he learn the art of romance from his parents and land the girl of his dreams?
