Say 'I Do' to Adrian Tomine's Prenuptial Mini-Memoir

At a time of year when bethrothed couples from Albuquerque to Zurich are imploring you to “Save the Date!” for their summer nuptials, cartoonist and illustrator Adrian Tomine offers a peek into his own path to the altar in Scenes from an Impending Marriage (Drawn and Quarterly). The little blue book chronicles the adventures of Tomine and his bride-to-be, Sarah, as they navigate the wedding planning process, from guest list politics and venue selection to dance lessons and “an even-handed acknowlegement of both families’ cultural heritages” (taiko drummers versus bagpipe players, both of which are ultimately nixed by Tomine “in the name of cultural sensitivity and harmony”).
