Synopsis
Bargain Books are non-returnable. Love and marriage, horse and carriage, they may go together in that old classic croon... But in twentieth-century America-hang on tight-the horses have run wild and it's one bumpy ride! Welcome to the world of Wedding Bell Blues, a romp through our endless fascination with that most august of domestic institutions: marriage. Celebrated (and bemoaned) in every medium imaginable, weddings and marriage are as much a part of life as birth, death, and taxes. Hundreds of nostalgic images, from advertisements to magazine covers to movie posters, display the full range of romance and allure of real and fictional brides and grooms. Seasoned advice from the likes of Archie Bunker to turn-of-the-century marriage manuals lend a note of unsolicited, and often absurd, guidance to the uninitiated. Whether you're already hitched, have been, or vow never to be, tying the knot will hardly look the same again.

Review
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Blues" may look like the usual sugary, bridal-planning swoon-fest, but within its frothy packaging is a surprisingly detailed history of marriage as reflected in pop culture over the past century. Using vintage prints, movie posters, and book jackets to complement the cheeky text, the authors have cobbled together a witty chronicle of modern wedlock. In chapters that cover everything from weary star advice (Woody Allen once said, "Marriage is the death of hope") to excerpt from hilariously antiquated sex manuals to the top 10 Hollywood couplings, "Blues" manages to both skewer and celebrate in a lively, fresh way. We think we're in love.
