Publisher's Synopsis
At the behest of his soon-to-be wife, Adrian Tomine set out to create a wedding favour 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 TomineÆs 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 TomineÆs career, Scenes from an Impending Marriage is a charming, delightful token of love.
