A Common Life: The Wedding Story (Mitford Years #6)
Laughter and wedding bells ring as Jan Karon takes her millions of fans back in time to the most cherished event in Mitford! Mitford's Lord's Chapel seats barely two hundred souls, yet millions of Jan Karon's fans will be there for the most joyful event in years: the wedding of Father Tim Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Here at last is A Common Life, and the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions: Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who'll arrange the flowers and bake the wedding cake? And will Uncle Billy's prayers for a great joke be answered in time for the reception?
All the beloved Mitford characters will be there: Dooley Barlowe, Miss Sadie and Louella, Emma Newland, the mayor; in short, everybody who's anybody in the little town with the big heart.
A Common Life is the perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries, and for a bride or groom to give to his or her beloved. In truth, it's perfect for anyone who believes in laughter, relies on hope, and celebrates love.
This is chronologically the third book of a laid back series about an Episcopalian priest in a small town in North Carolina. It is often funny and sweet with the occasional sad vignette mixed into the plot. I'm enjoying rereading this series. This is the shortest and most basic book of the series since its main focus is the wedding itself.
I missed the depth of the other stories, but I loved getting to see this piece of their life!
This installment in the Mitford series is a quick and easy read, with some details regarding Father Tim & Cynthia and their courtship and wedding. It was good for a fantastic laugh ... as well as some tender and very heartfelt moments, some great truths about marriage, and a wonderful prayer for marriage partners.
A Common Life is not just a wedding story. It's also an intimate portrait of the unfolding love between Cynthia and the shy Father Tim, complete with fears and hesitations, professions of commitment, and Barnabas the dog delivering love letters. But there's nothing heavy-handed here. The tensions don't run any higher than wondering if Cynthia will make it to the wedding on time after getting locked inside her own bathroom, or guessing if Esther will make her famous three-layer orange marmalade
A sweet, fun, enjoyable read!
To preserve the chronological story of the Mitford series, this book A Common Life: The Wedding Story should be read after #2-A Light in the Window and before #3-These High, Green Hills. It's ridiculous that Goodreads numbers the series by publication date rather than reading order.This edition with its beautiful drawings is a joy! Yes, it's much shorter than what readers have come to expect from books in this series but nonetheless it's a wonderful look at love and marriage and a great addition

Library copy. Reading through the Mitford series. The wedding was in one of the other books, so I thought I had already read this, but there were some things in it that were new to me.This book stands alone, even though it's in a series, but the better acquainted you are with the characters who were introduced previously the more you will appreciate the little things. This book might be confusing to someone who didn't know the characters.I love the many varied characters in the Mitford series.This is chronologically the third book of a laid back series about an Episcopalian priest in a small town in North Carolina.
