A Piggly Wiggly Wedding
The enchanting follow-up to Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly and Kissing Babies at the Piggly Wiggly—a Southern charmer about second chances in love and life, and the odd—and oddly funny—events that bring people together.

Weddings are big news in the small Delta town of Second Creek, Mississippi. Especially when the wedding is that of the town’s new mayor: the seventy-one-year-young Hale “Mr. Choppy” Dunbar, about to tie the knot with Gaylie Lyons, to whom he’d first lost his heart back in the 1940s. Hale, of course, used to be a butcher and proprietor of Second Creek’s Piggly Wiggly supermarket, which closed its doors a few years back, but not until after hosting the wedding of Laurie Lepanto and her ballroom-dancing husband, Powell Hampton.

Unfortunately, Hale and Gaylie’s wedding plans are not going smoothly. Gaylie’s grown children, both spoiled by their late father’s money, are determined to second-guess their mother’s move to this small Southern town—no matter how lovely the neighbors or pretty the scenery. It falls to the town’s indefatigable army of matrons—the Nitwitts—to plan the kind of welcome for Gaylie’s children that will get them on board for the wedding, and make way for more than one new beginning in Second Creek.
