Product Description
Big mouth. Big heart. Big wedding. Big problems. It's the wedding of the century! Things are looking up at last for Lizzie Nichols. She has a career she loves in the field of her choice (wedding gown restoration), and the love of her life, Jean-Luc, has finally proposed. Life's become a dizzying whirl of wedding gown fittings—not necessarily her own—as Lizzie prepares for her dream wedding at her fiance's chateau in the south of France. But the dream soon becomes a nightmare as the best man—whom Lizzie might once have accidentally slept with . . . no, really, just slept—announces his total lack of support for the couple, a sentiment the maid of honor happens to second; Lizzie's Midwestern family can't understand why she doesn't want to have her wedding in the family backyard; her future, oh-so-proper French in-laws seem to be slowly trying to lure the groom away from medical school and back into investment banking; and Lizzie finds herself wondering if her Prince Charming really is as charming as she once believed. Is Lizzie really ready to embrace her new role as wife and mistress of Chateau Mirac? Or is she destined to fall into another man's arms . . . and into the trap of becoming a Bad Girl instead?

Less Whiny Lizzie! July 23, 2008
I have enjoyed most of Meg Cabot's adult books. I have even enjoyed some of her young adult, as well. However, I have always thought that Lizzie Nichols was too whiny. I read Queen of Babble very quickly and enjoyed it for the most part. The whole time though I kept thinking who would want to be with this whiny woman. In Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, I think that Lizzie seems to be finally growing up. She has realized that maybe those things that she wanted in the past are not all their cracked up to be. She still whines a bit about the whole Chaz/Luke triangle, but it's not as whiny as the comments on the train with Luke in the first book. I agree with other reviewers that Luke pretty much got skewered in this book, but we never really have known much about him, other than he "wants to save the children" and he's an alleged "prince." Overall, I enjoyed this book much more than the previous two, especially Queen of Babble in the Big City (which I had to force myself to read.)
An Great Ending (Or Beginning?) July 19, 2008
I really enjoyed this trilogy. The characters were fun to get to know and I really like how everything ended. I was a little nervous for our scatter-brained heroine, but luckily she gets her priorities in order. I would love to read about how the happy couple deals with children in the future.
Wedding Jitters July 17, 2008
Of the three Queen of Babble books, I liked this one the best. The author provided good closure, while also allowing room for a fourth if that is the direction she chooses to take. Of the three in the series, this one really focuses on Lizzie and her emotions vs. just her actions. It is about her relationships with those who are most important to her and at the same time, about her opinions of herself. It was hard to put the book down, as I couldn't wait to see what Lizzie would do next. There were a few unexpected moments in the story, which gave it more depth than a typical chick-lit book. The story also picked up right where number 2 left off, and even though I read number 2 a while ago, the characters and the story easily came back to me. This is a good, fun read, as the Publisher's Weekly is quoted on the front cover. It is best read as the third in the series too; I don't see it as a stand alone.
A Charming Conclusion July 16, 2008
Queen of Babble Gets Hitched - By Meg Cabot
In "Queen of Babble Gets Hitched" Lizzie Nichols, budding wedding dress designer and restorer, ("Queen of Babble" and "Queen of Babble in the Big City") finally gets her wish. Luke, her ex returns to New York with a killer rock and a proposal. Of course this comes after she spent the night (semi - platonicaly) with Luke's best friend Chaz. It quickly becomes obvious that although she accepts Luke's ring and proposal, things are not all wedding dresses, white doves and roses. Everyone can see that Luke isn't right for her...everyone except Lizzie herself. Until she starts breaking out in hives at the thought of planning her own wedding, and being very thankful that Luke will be spending the summer in France.
A light hearted, quickly read book with some really great secondary characters Ava Geck ( a Paris Hilton-like celebrity) Mr and Mrs Henri, owners of the shop where she creates and restores, and of course her best friend and Chaz's ex-love, Shari.
Meg Cabot finishes this trilogy with all the humor that the first two books introduces and gives us a happy ending too!
An excellent beach read, and I would recommend that if you would like to read this, while you can read "Queen of Babble Gets Hitched" as a stand alone, it really has a better impact if you read the first 2 books first.
