Summary:
Weddings are fun, festive, and joyful, and at a time when people marry later in life, and sometimes not at all, they offer endless opportunities to reexamine love and what we want for ourselves, regardless of whether or not our aim is a walk down the aisle. Doll charts the course of her own perennial wedding guesthood, from the ceremony of distant family members when she was eight to the recent nuptials of a new boyfriend's friends. Wedding experiences come in as varied an assortment as the gowns at any bridal shop, and the author turns a keen eye to each, delivering a heartfelt exploration of contemporary relationships.
