Scenes from an Impending Marriage
Scenes from an Impending Marriage | Adrian Tomine
2 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
MAKING LIGHT OF NUPTIAL NARCISSM At the behest of his soon-to-be wife, Adrian Tomine set out to create a wedding favor for their guests that would be funnier and more personal than the typical chocolate bars and picture frames. What started out as a simple illustrated card soon grew into a full-fledged comic book: a collection of short strips chronicling the often absurd process of getting married. A loose, cartoony departure from Tomine’s previous work, Scenes from an Impending Marriage is a sweet-natured, laugh out-loud skewering of the modern marriage process, including hiring a DJ, location scouting, trips to the salon, suit fittings, dance lessons, registering for gifts, and managing familial demands. The most personal and autobiographical work of Tomine’s career, Scenes from an Impending Marriage is a charming, delightful token of love.

Why I read: Found searching library database for graphic memoirs
From guest lists to DJs and venues to dance lessons, this is a brief peek into a couple‘s wedding planning. Could make a cute gift for that bride or Bridezilla in your life.

Butterfinger That is such a cute couple. 4y
