Scenes from an Impending Marriage

Scenes from an Impending Marriage by Adrian Tomine  54 pp.


This tiny graphic novel completely captures the stress and chaos involved in planning a wedding. Based on the artist's own experience, it covers hashing out the guest list, dealing with family expectations (his-west coast Japanese, hers-east coast Irish), finding a venue, a d.j., invitations, clothing, and wishing they had eloped after all (a feeling I remember having two weeks before my own wedding). It's a cute little book that is oh so true.
