Summary
Carla Connor never thought she’d be here — planning a wedding, trying on dresses, and actually letting someone in deep enough to promise forever. Lisa Swain, steady and unshakable, has been the one to pull her back from the brink and prove that love doesn’t have to mean pain.
But in true Weatherfield style, nothing about planning a wedding runs smoothly. From chaotic dress fittings (with Michelle in full meddling mode), to stag and hen do disasters, last-minute doubts, and the ghosts of the past, Carla and Lisa must hold tight to what they’ve built.
With friends and family alternately helping and causing chaos, the journey to “I do” is anything but simple. Yet through the laughter, tears, and trials, one truth shines through: together, they’re stronger.
A heartfelt, dramatic, and often funny story of love, friendship, and fighting for the happy ending they both deserve.

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.
Or
Lisa ends things seemingly for good after Rob takes them hostage and Betsy is shot. It turns Carla’s life upside down and sends her on a journey of self-exploration as she’s forced to confront the relationships that mean the most to her and the ways Lisa has changed her for good. But it's never over til it's over...

Summary
The woman tosses the dripping tray into the bin and swans off toward her car, leaving Carla standing there soaked and vaguely baffled. She swears those big green eyes lingered on her chest a second too long, but she lets it slide.
She’s practically flashing her golden globes at half of Manchester, and of course, she’s wearing black lace. Because why wouldn’t she be?
