Overview

On the morning of her wedding, Eden Hayes is supposed to walk down the aisle and marry the perfect woman. Instead, her oldest friend hands her a letter—and a confession.

June Elwood has been Eden’s best friend, her constant, her maybe-something-more for over a decade. But she’s stayed silent… until now. With only hours to go before the ceremony, June finally says the words she’s been too afraid to say:

“I love you. I always have.”

As memories resurface and long-buried feelings take center stage, Eden is forced to question everything she thought she wanted. Is comfort enough? Or does real love mean risking everything for the one person who truly sees you?

Set in a quiet New England town, Before I Say I Do is a heartwarming, slow-burn WLW romance about timing, courage, and the beautiful mess of choosing someone—not because the world expects it, but because your heart does.
