Our Ex's Wedding by Taleen VoskuniAni Avakian was supposed to be the Bay Area's premier Armenian wedding planner by now. But after a huge blow to her business, she's determined to redeem herself by taking on the biggest job of her career: a wedding for an indie movie star. The wedding is set at a stunning Armenian-owned winery, and Ani is eager to connect with the owner, who she'll be working closely with. But then she actually meets him. Sure, Raffi is ridiculously hot and charming, but he's also insufferably smug. He's shocked to find that they have one thing in common, however: the bride of the wedding, their mutual ex, Kami. Despite the record level of awkwardness, they'll have to work together to make sure this wedding goes perfectly. But first, they'll have to deal with the tension sizzling between them--before it turns their ex's nuptials into a full-blown disaster...or something much more scandalous.
