From Publishers Weekly
Nine top fantasists imagine just how amusingly amok a wedding might run in this diverting compilation of original stories on the theme of nuptials among the fey folk. Jim Butcher, the sole male contributor, serves up the book's best romp, "Something Borrowed," in which wizard detective Harry Dresden prompts a bridezilla rampage from a malevolent fairy when he tries to break up her wedding with the werewolf whose intended she is impersonating. In L.A. Banks's amusing "Spellbound," descendants of the Hatfields and McCoys wage a slapstick war of spell and counterspell, while Charlaine Harris's "Tacky" projects the mishaps that might follow a mixed marriage between a werewolf and vampire. Possibly because most of the contributors are better known as novelists, the bulk of the stories read more like comic outtakes from larger works than independently plotted stories. Fans of paranormal romance will welcome the rare chance to see Sherilynn Kenyon, Susan Krinard, Rachel Caine, Lori Handeland and other favorite authors working in short form. (Oct.)

Customer Reviews

A bit uneven but fun.
My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding is a fun concept, with contributions by some wonderful writers.

It's the perfect book to toss into your bag when your reading time is restricted to waiting on line at the bank, the dentist's office, etc.

Nothing heavy here, but some good supernatural laughs.

Not Free SF Reader
An anthology of stories that are most paranormal romance it would seem, which is no big surprise given the title or the popularity of such. Hardcore fans of that subgenre will like this more than people just looking for some fantasy stories, undoubtedly.

The main exception, and the best story here is Jim Butcher's entry, and that is also a Harry Dresden story, for the completists of that character. Mostly why I decided to give it a go, too.

So, a lot of light-hearted silliness, even a Pirates of the Carribean lite style story by Rachel Caine. As such, the story average is only a touch over the mediocre 3.00. I really wouldn't expect too much more from a book like this though of course, that is not particularly the point.

Fun, Wierd Weddings!
This was an enjoyable read. I've always liked short stories, especially since I had kids and can't devote as much time to reading anymore. Each of these stories was entertaining and got me interested in other works by each of the authors. Don't have a lot of time to devote to a single story? Pick up this book. It will have what you need!My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding
