"A bouquet of wonderful wedding stories - by turns funny, passionate, bittersweet, and romantic, by famous writers from across the past two centuries. From F. Scott Fitzgerald to Lorrie Moore, and from Stephen Crane to Edwidge Danticat. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET CLASSICS.
The
stories collected here--including such gems as Stephen Crane's ""The
Bride Comes to Yellow Sky,"" O. Henry's ""The Marry Month of May,"" F.
Scott Fitzgerald's ""The Bridal Party,"" Joy Williams's ""The Wedding,"" and
Lorrie Moore's ""Thank You For Having Me"", encompass comic wedding
mishaps, engagements broken and mended, honeymoon adventures, and scenes
both heartwarming and heartbreaking. There are glamorous weddings in
Paris and New York, and more eccentric ones in the Wild West and on a
remote island beach. There are nervous brides, forgetful grooms,
meddling guests, interrupted nuptials, second thoughts, and second
chances. Above all, there are all kinds of people - young and old, rich
and poor, divorced and widowed, with or without children - joining
together in the age-old quest for matrimonial happiness."
