1. Mari feels slighted when she’s overlooked for the maid of honor position. Have you ever felt offended as a result of being overlooked? If so, how did you respond?

2. Crystal’s future mother-in-law is the overbearing sort. If you were in Crystal’s shoes, how would you handle Mrs. Hayvenhurst’s demands?

4. Derrick is well known and loved for his abilities as a right fielder. Why do you suppose he enjoyed the fact that Mari saw more in him that just his talent?

6. Mari and Derrick’s first “date” takes place as they bake for the bridal shower. What do you learn about his character as he nabs cookies behind his mother’s back?

7. In the end, Mari gives the first dance to Tyler, not Derrick. What did you think of this gesture? Would you have done the same?

8. Do you agree with Grandma Nellie? Does the Lord really “work quick” sometimes? Has He ever done so in your life?
