Bookseller recommendation
“Big Gay Wedding is hilarious! The relationships between Chrissy and all of her people (and animals) were well developed and I could easily imagine being on the farm with all of them. It's clear that Chrissy only wants the best for her son, Barnett, even if she doesn't always know what that is. The dynamic between Chrissy and her son's fiance is your standard parent vs future in-law and Lane writes about it with a combination of sincerity and humor. I loved the voices Noah Galvan had for each character, bringing to life a vibrant story about a small-town learning to be more accepting of one of its own. If you are a fan of romantic comedies like Father of the Bride or Red, White and Royal Blue, this book is for you.”

“All Chrissy Durang wants is for her son Barnett to come home and take over the family farm. When Barnett does come home, he tells her that he's engaged to Ezra. As Chrissy struggles to accept the situation, chaotic wedding planning begins. Lane balances humorous and poignant moments in Barnett and Ezra's relationship and Chrissy's journey to understanding unconditional love. If you enjoyed Schitt's Creek, you're going to love this! ”

This program is read by Noah Galvin, who starred in The Good Doctor, Dear Evan Hansen, The Real O'Neals, and Booksmart.
An unashamedly proud, loud, and hilarious novel about a small town that’s forever changed by a big gay wedding, perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Guncle
Two grooms. One mother of a problem.
Barnett Durang has a secret. No, not THAT secret. His widowed mother has long known he’s gay. The secret is Barnett is getting married. At his mother’s farm. In their small Louisiana town. She just doesn’t know it yet.
It’ll be an intimate affair. Just two hundred or so of the most fabulous folks Barnett is shipping in from the “heathen coasts,” as Mom likes to call them, turning her quiet rescue farm for misfit animals into a most unlikely wedding venue.
But there are forces, both within this modern new family and in the town itself, that really don’t want to see this handsome couple march down the aisle. It’ll be the biggest, gayest event in the town’s history if they can pull it off, and after a glitter-filled week, nothing will ever be the same. Big Gay Wedding is an uplifting audiobook about the power of family and the unconditional love of a mother for her son.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Reviews
Named one of a Zibby Owen's Most Anticipated Spring and Summer Books
“My heart grew three sizes reading Big Gay Wedding. This charming book had me snorting unattractively, laughing uncontrollably, and ugly crying in between. A poignant delight from start to finish. Read it, damn it! Just read it!”
—Bianca Marais, bestselling author of The Witches of Moonshyne Manor
“Big Gay Wedding is a quirky family story packed with hilarious and tender moments. Lovers of Schitt’s Creek will delight in Byron Lane’s cast of lovable misfits as they band together to plan a big gay wedding, the first in a Southern town.”
—Kate Russo, author of Super Host
“Filled with charming characters, tenacious empathy, and so much heart, Big Gay Wedding is an event you’ll wish you could attend in person.”
—Alison Larkin, author of The People We Keep
“Reading Byron Lane’s warm and hysterical new novel made me feel like I hit the wedding guest jackpot and got seated at the very best table, surrounded by gloriously weird and funny guests I’ll remember long after the grooms have been waved off.”
—Bobby Finger, author of The Old Place
“An intoxicating mix of comedy, romance, and familial drama, that goes down like a delicious Aperol Spritz. But Big Gay Wedding is more than simply a bubbly concoction - it brims with life, with humor, and a tenderness that will stay with you long after you finish the final page.”
—Jonathan Parks-Ramage, author of Yes, Daddy
