Comments on: Weddings as Warnings in “Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single” http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2631 Reading, Writing, Movies and Mothering in Minneapolis, Mostly Mon, 11 May 2026 21:18:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Steph http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2631&cpage=1#comment-17087 Steph Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:58:29 +0000 http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2631#comment-17087 Having planned a wedding and gotten married just this summer, I thought so much of what you wrote here was right on the nose. Thankfully our relationship didn't undergo much wedding-related stress (at least if we exclude the week leading up to the actual event, which I think is fair), but it is amazing how draining and absorbing the entire thing can be (I almost referred to it as an ordeal... I do still kind of want to). I'm glad I love my husband and our relationship is strong, because man do I never want to go through a wedding ever again! Also, I saw this at the used bookstore yesterday (they actually had two copies), but I wasn't sure that I wanted to shell out $7 (just because I pretty much never pay more than $3 when I'm at the used bookstore). BUT I am first on the list for it at the library, so if I read it and love it and think I will want to re-read it, now I know where I can get it for a decent price!
