Every wedding has its small disasters bad catering, cash bars, lecherous uncles on the dance floor. But Tess and Gabe's backyard nuptials have a bona fide whopper: an uninvited guest who really won't forever hold her peace. The gas-masked ''terrorist of love'' who bursts into their ceremony arrives in her own wedding dress with a military-grade arsenal and a serious vendetta. But against whom? Hostage situations are an odd vehicle for social satire, and Zeidner's tone sometimes falters. It's her insight into and keen sympathy for human foibles that supplies Love Bomb's biggest impact. B+
