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.
