A Fairytale Wedding Steeped in Untraditional Tradition



Author Theresa Braun delights readers with her unique love story, ‘Groom and Doom’





A quirky and untraditional love story, author Theresa Braun’s Groom and Doom: A Greek Love Story will have readers immersed in the fascinating world of the Greek wedding and all that comes with it.

Expecting her lifelong dream of her happily-ever-after to come true when she meets Stavros, Angela has no idea what she’s really in for when she agrees to a traditional Greek wedding.  After a tarot reading pronounces her fairytale life “doomed”, she begins to fret over her future and begins questioning the choices she has made before and the ones she is about to make with her vows.

Arriving in Greece for the big day, Angela finds herself hounded by her overbearing father-in-law, Georgius.  A man who recently lost his wife, he feels that the wedding should not happen, as Stavros’ mother only died eleven months before the nuptials, and tradition states that the family should mourn for twelve.  When the newlyweds finally escape to Venice for their honeymoon, their problems seem to follow them, as Angela, traumatized by the outrageousness of her Greek family-in-law, begins to think she spots Georgius in every crowd.

Full of bizarre characters and strange feuds – over cars, rooms, and places at the dinner table – Groom and Doom will have readers which side of divorce Angela will land on once the flurry of her special day finally winds down and she finds herself a member of an unusual family.  A delightful read, Groom and Doom will have readers flipping through pages in a fury, trying to guess what will happen, until they reach the surprising conclusion.

A tale of love, family, traditions we hold to, and the sacrifices we make, Groom and Doom: A Greek Love Story is a perfect fall read to curl up with and enjoy.
