A Common Life: The Wedding Story (Mitford Years #6) 
Laughter and wedding bells ring as Jan Karon takes her millions of fans back in time to the most cherished event in Mitford! Mitford's Lord's Chapel seats barely two hundred souls, yet millions of Jan Karon's fans will be there for the most joyful event in years: the wedding of Father Tim Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Here at last is A Common Life, and the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions: Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who'll arrange the flowers and bake the wedding cake? And will Uncle Billy's prayers for a great joke be answered in time for the reception?
All the beloved Mitford characters will be there: Dooley Barlowe, Miss Sadie and Louella, Emma Newland, the mayor; in short, everybody who's anybody in the little town with the big heart.
A Common Life is the perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries, and for a bride or groom to give to his or her beloved. In truth, it's perfect for anyone who believes in laughter, relies on hope, and celebrates love.
First, I can't say how happy it made me that the last chapter was titled The Beginning.As far as stories go, Father Tim and Cynthia's wedding wasn't overly-dramatic. I think it was the quotidian element that captured me. They both faced paralyzing fears before their marriage. That's not uncommon. The work of blending their lives involves decisions and negotiations. No surprise. Their premarital counselling is a tad awkward. Sounds familiar. We see their relationship deepen and open as they
As a long-time fan of Karon, I must say I was greatly dissapointed in A Common Life and embarrassed that I purchased it before reading more reviews. I would have certainly checked it out at the library and been equally dissapointed but $... dollars richer.I feel cheated as a reader and a fan because it seems as though Karon took advantage of her fan base. This magazine-length story is marketed to "appear" like all her other books, while a quick flick through the pages indicates larger fonts and

Library copy. Reading through the Mitford series. The wedding was in one of the other books, so I thought I had already read this, but there were some things in it that were new to me.This book stands alone, even though it's in a series, but the better acquainted you are with the characters who were introduced previously the more you will appreciate the little things. This book might be confusing to someone who didn't know the characters.I love the many varied characters in the Mitford series.
Well I said I needed an antidote to the gritty reality of my last read. This certainly fitted the bill. Although the 6th in the Mitford Years series - this story is chronologicaly out of time. It is the story of Father Tim and Cynthia's marriage. Father Tim 62 years old, marrying for the first time, his neighbour, children's writer and illustrator Cynthia Coppersmith. We see Timothy contemplating his marriage, thinking about his feelings for Cynthia as composes a letter, and we see what the
A Common Life is not just a wedding story. It's also an intimate portrait of the unfolding love between Cynthia and the shy Father Tim, complete with fears and hesitations, professions of commitment, and Barnabas the dog delivering love letters. But there's nothing heavy-handed here. The tensions don't run any higher than wondering if Cynthia will make it to the wedding on time after getting locked inside her own bathroom, or guessing if Esther will make her famous three-layer orange marmalade
I am rereading this wonderful series this year for the third time! Nothing soothes the soul like a Mitford novel. Except Christ, that is. These books have been such a blessing to me over the years! Sometimes I yearn for there to be a real Mitford to which I could go and definitely live. All these precious characters have set down roots in my heart, forever to stay!This one is the book celebrating the wedding of Father Timothy Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Only the wedding. For more, you'll

My least favorite of the Mitford Books. This one is a flashback to Father Timothy and Cynthia's wedding. Kind of fills in some gaps, but not as good as the rest. It is a fast read, and kind of sweet, but only true lovers of the Mitford series will enjoy.First, I can't say how happy it made me that the last chapter was titled The Beginning.As far as stories go, Father Tim and Cynthia's wedding wasn't overly-dramatic.
