It seems he toyed with the idea of using the FBI men to introduce the characters. They go from car to car, write down plate numbers, then cut back to the character at the wedding.

Thank goodness he didn't. Those are my least favourite parts of the novel, even more so than Lucy and her 'problem'.
As to the book, my wife bought it for me last Christmas. Still working my way through it.
