Paperback. In the vein of "The Onion", "Weddings of the Times" sends up the overly precious, most envy-inspiring part of the paper: the wedding section. This terrific parody features wedding announcements from zombie brides, pet nuptials, disgustingly blissful yoga partnerships, lumberjack/wood-nymph unions, and many more. It's all here, along with wedding night sex tips, honeymoon destination guide, the wedding-book bestseller list, and more. Fully-illustrated throughout, "Weddings of the Times" does for the "Times'" Wedding Section what SkyMaul did for in-flight catalogs. The San Franciscan comedy group Kasper Hauser has created a smart, gleefully acerbic satire that follows in the footsteps of the classic not the "New York Times" and off the "Wall Street Journal". Features wedding announcements from zombie brides, pet nuptials, disgustingly blissful yoga partnerships, and lumberjack/wood-nymph unions. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

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
