Summary

This is a groundbreaking study of our culture's obsession with weddings. By examining popular films, commercials, magazines, advertising, television sitcoms and even children's toys, this book shows the pervasive influence of weddings in our culture and the important role they play in maintaining the romance of heterosexuality, the myth of white supremacy and the insatiable appetite of consumer capitalism." It examines how the economics and marketing of weddings have replaced the religious and moral view of marriage..." This second edition will also include: updates on all census and wedding industry data, coverage of gay marriage debates and their effect on weddings, new introduction and revision of graphics photos etc.
