The library just added one to our collection that you should check out today! A Country Wedding is one of the newest releases from the Hallmark Channel starring Jesse Metcalfe as a Bradley Suttons and Autumn Reeser as Sarah Standor. Bradley, a country singing superstar, comes back to his hometown to sell his childhood home and finds that his next door neighbor (Sarah) has grown up. As Sarah helps Bradley clean out his barn for his upcoming wedding, they flashback to their childhood memories of playing in the lofts and even holding their own pretend wedding! Now all Bradley has to do is choose where his heart truly belongs. This movie is a must see. It will get your heart to beating and your boots to stomping, so check it out today! Book: While this movie was not based on a specific book, I would recommend reading The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
