I love Dial A for Aunties, so I expected to enjoy its sequel just as much. I'm not sure if my liking it less has to do with its length, that I listened to it, or if it's just not as much fun. This time the wedding Meddy and her mother and her aunts are involved with is Meddy's. Normally the Chans would be working the wedding, with Meddy as photographer and elders covering the cake, hair & makeup, flowers, and MC duties, but since they're the wedding family, they have to hire alternative vendors. Luckily another family of Chinese Indonesians present themselves, and Meddy finds herself becoming close with her counterpart Staphanie.
The wedding is in the UK, where Meddy's fiancé Nathan's family live. They're proper Brits, and the Chans are...loud. Once again, a running theme is Meddy loving her wacky elders despite or because of their quirks. Another running theme is kidnapping!
The narrator is versatile and enthusiastic.
