Amanda Forester holds a PhD in clinical psychology and a Masters degree in theology. As a psychologist, she has worked as a clinical researcher and a university instructor (what they call you when they don’t want to give you tenure). None of which has anything to do with writing romance novels. After trying for many years to stop the internal storylines floating around her head, she finally gave up and wrote one down. Now when she is caught daydreaming and talking to herself she can just say, “I’m plotting a scene for my next novel,” which sounds so much better than, “I’m hallucinating and responding to internal stimuli.”Amanda lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family, three lazy house pets and one destructive puppy who is part yellow lab part tornado. Amanda enjoys writing historical romance and splits her time between the rugged Highlands of medieval Scotland and the lively banter within the drawing rooms of Regency England. She enjoys researching the history almost as much as the writing, and attempts to provide the reader with a glimpse of the historical reality, though usually without the fleas. She enjoys sharing her passion for romance and history and loves hearing from readers.
This one sounds good. As for something unusual at a wedding; a groomsmen deciding to suddenly become a Chippendale dancer out on the dance floor 😉
LOL Marcie. That must have been fun, but I bet the bride wasn’t too happy to have the attention diverted from her.
The bride and groom joined in w the dance but didn’t do the Chippendale routine. No one got offended
Brides are over-rated, bring on the groomsmen!
LOL
I went to a wedding once that was outside. Just as the ceremony was being performed, the wind picked up drastically. Everything started blowing…the flowers, the vases, the carpet. Everyone, especially those on the ends, had to hold everything down. Fortunately the Bride’s veil held on, but she had to hold for dear life. Just when it was over, everyone ran inside, and in seconds it poured.
Just wanted to add I am currently reading this book for review and so far I am loving it! 🙂
R 🙂
That’s a great tip! Thanks!
I went to a weeding, where X wives or husband attended! No problem with that. But at the guest table, the bride and groom, had 2 sets of parents for each of them. so instead of B&G and 2 set of parents, they ended up with 8 persons. it felt strange. Amanda’s book A Wedding in Springtime has a gorgeous cover. thank you for the giveaway! gives me the chance to discover her books!

I went to a wedding, sorry!
Darn, I was going to invite you to my next weeding…LOL (just kidding – I couldn’t resist)….
I haven’t been to that many weddings 🙂 Although, I remember going to my first one at 14. Got to buy a really pretty dress, rambled at the cameraman as he was going around collecting well wishes from every one. They live just down the street from me.. still going strong, 17 years later. It was a lively & fun wedding – with lots of neighbors & friends – that much I remember 🙂
The most unusual experience I’ve had at a wedding was when the groom fainted at the altar. I guess he was really nervous. 😀 But they got him back up on his feet and the wedding continued, so all was well.
I haven’t been to a wdg where anything unusual happened but at my sisters wdg rehearsal the wdg planner and videographer got into a argument and we thought it was going to become physical but it didn’t.
Cool giveaway ladies. Sounds like an amazing read!
My weirdest experience at a wedding: the rings were left in a safe at the mother of the bride’s business…the priest had to stall the ceremony while the bride’s mother went to the office to get the rings. 😉

Cool giveaway ladies. Count me in.
I’m in for this one…my daughter’s wedding s coming up in November…oh the nightmares!
LOL
Shades of things to come……. when dressing for the wedding, my future hubby realized that his pants were missing a zipper!! Someone was dispatched to run to the shop in hopes of finding another TUX. We were in luck. However it proved to be an omen…. he has been my “X” for many years now.
