I really liked the use of color in this graphic memoir. I think any queer American circa 2016-2020 can relate to some feelings captured here.

Cute story about two people and their pursuit of marriage during turbulent times. The images were kind of basic, but still complimented the story beautifully.

It was an ok read. I have been craving some lgbt+ stories since i'm getting married but this didn't hit the spot. The thoughts seemed to jump around here to there and I wanted something like focused on the wedding, or how straight- weddings are the only foundation we really have for expectations & society, traditions and what they wanted and what they didn't. It was written as a diary format, so all the thoughts seemed really personal so it was a nice read in that aspect. Thoughts seemed to jump around fast to me and I wish more time was focused on other topics or if the book was longer to give the author a good amount of time to reflect.
I'm so glad this person had a nice personal wedding and a lot of support. I also liked that the wedding wasn't the happy ending, the happy ending was living everyday with someone you love.

A sweet graphic memoir/comment on marriage equality - a little "we're basically old marrieds anyway" + "do we need this institution - yes <3" + "people are trying to take away our rights". Loved the art and color palette.

Autobiographical GN about the author's choice to get married to his husband.
Like many folx, they got married largely for medical benefit reasons (once gay marriage was legal, their places of employment shut down domestic partnership benefits*).
There is a cloud looming over the story that gay marriage may stop being legal at some point, so this may be a brief opportunity for them.
Semi-anecdotal. Sweet little romantic warm fuzzy stories about this specific couple. Covers some of the larger context and history around gay marriage. They acknowledge their White and class privilege.
Mostly black on white line drawing, but touches of color in an interesting way.
Pretty sure I read it in one sitting.
*Medical benefits are the biggest reason I'm not married, fwiw.
