  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.
