Brothers of the Vine
Forever Evermore
Women of W.A.R.
To quote Taylor Swift herself; ‘I am not the kind of girl/ Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion/ But you are not the kind of boy/ Who should be marrying the wrong girl’.
We talk a lot about tropes here at Romance.com.au; enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, one night with consequence… and we love them all. But is any trope more heart-flutteringly exciting than the moment when someone shouts ‘I OBJECT’ across the chapel? When a bride runs down an aisle, her white gown flowing dramatically behind her? The drama! The suspense! The intrigue!
Whatever has interrupted the wedding – a nervous groom, a bride realising she loves somebody else, or a wedding guest declaring their love – if you love the trope of an interrupted wedding check out these romances!
