A Nice Day for a Summer Wedding
June is the most popular month for weddings. The weather is beautiful, and the flowers are blooming. June weddings are a part of an older tradition that dates back to Ancient Rome. The belief was that, if you married in the month of June, the Goddess Juno would bless your marriage with love, loyalty, and fertility. There are so many beautiful wedding traditions from all around the world, all of which are done to bring joy, luck, and prosperity to the newly married couple.
But, in the realm of mystery and thriller genre fiction, a wedding can be devastated by secrets, jealousies, rivalries, and even murder. This has become a more popular trope in this genre of fiction, due to the multiple characters, their agendas, and the chaos that can occur before and during a wedding.
