The Weekend Before the Wedding was an enjoyable, light (in a good way!) read.
Set over two timelines: the present day as Shelley dresses for her wedding, and twenty years earlier on her hen party.

Shelleys’s best friend organises a weekend in Spain at Shelley’s aunts house, joined by her very serious mum, her other aunt and Shelley’s cousin.

It doesn’t get off to a great start from the moment they all meet at the airport, and it gets worse when they arrive in Spain.

Shelley’s very rich fiancé is staying in an exclusive hotel nearby, with his family and a friend. On their first night in Spain, Shelley gets a very strange text message from his phone.

This is a hilarious book with some great, relatable characters (particularly the aunt that uses a mobility scooter - she gave me Benidorm flashbacks!). It portrayed the importance of good friends and family who all support one another.

I’d definitely recommend this as a pick me up!

I love this film so much. Adam Sandler is toned down as a genuinely good guy and wedding singer. The soundtrack is solid, and every time I hear the song 'True', I remember the last scene with Steve Buscemi singing it.
I loved both of the 'original' songs that Robbie wrote, and the 'Somebody Kill Me' song is hilarious.
Overall, this is probably one of my favorite movies, and definitely my favorite Adam Sandler movie.
