The themes and the types of characters found in this book are similar to those in many of Steel's previous works. She often focuses on a beautiful heroine who finds fulfillment in her career but who is not so lucky in love.

The Wedding is somewhat reminiscent of Family Secrets, a novel that also offered a glimpse into Hollywood lives and families.

Unlike in Family Secrets, the main character here is not an actress. She knows the entertainment business, but from a completely different side.

Although a character like Allegra may have appeared in earlier work, it is obvious that Allegra Steinberg is a woman of the 1990s.
