Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

You are cordially invited to celebrate A Parody of The New York Times Wedding Announcements by Kasper Hauser

Along with fully illustrated guides to: Wedding-night sex, Honeymoon hot spots, Formalwear malfunctions, and much, much more. At four o'clock in the Afternoon. Or is it three o'clock? Didn't you bring the invitation? Huh? Where the hell is the turnoff? Back there. I think I saw a paper plate and some balloons. What's wrong? I just need to eat something. I'm fine. Remind me how we know these people?

"In this collection, Kasper Hauser reminds us that a wedding announcement is a window into the most goofball daydream a couple can have about itself....These are not parodies, but little human stories, full of want and hope, even when they involve falconry." — from the foreword by John Hodgman

Review:

"Fully illustrated throughout, this parody sends up the overly precious, most envy-inspiring part of the New York Times: the wedding section. A hilarious and wildly inventive spoof." Time Out New York
