2.5 stars for sure. But I didn't feel right giving it 3 stars. Another #1 I read where I do not care to read more about it.
Fun fact: This takes place after the whole Rogue & Gambit comic series that I tried to read earlier today. Also, they got back together even though Gambit was problematic. But toxic relationships are apparently normal in this universe. More on that later.
3 short stories that intertwine all in one comic. We see Kitty Pride having issues with the dead men in her life, Peter at his bachelor party, and Kitty at hers. None of the characters seemed interesting. Kitty Pride in this piece didn't seem as selfish as she was in Rouge & Gambit. I don't care for these romances and I won't be continuing to see if they make it to the alter.
Also, not sure if this was meant as a joke but Peter seemed to have a lot of double standards in this relationship. Why was he allowed to have a bachelor party in Vegas but didn't have any faith in Kitty when she was going to her karaoke bachelorette party? Like I said, toxic.

I liked the first and last story in this, but none of them were really all the special to me.
This comprised 3 stories leading up to the wedding of Kitty and Colossus:
1) Kitty is visited by the ghosts of her past
2) Colossus's bachelor party
3) Kitty's bachelorette party
As I am not a fan of either character, these did not hold my interest.

I was really looking forward to this one: saved it for a stretch of quiet time to enjoy it and… it fell flat for me. My experience of it feels lower than three-stars to me, but I think that is because this issue contained three separate but related stories, and the opener…left me cold. So much internal dialogue, but nothing much happened. Maybe it is just that I am newish to reading the X-Men, but it didn't resonate with me at all.
I don't know how accurate my perceptions were with the other two stories: I reacted better to both of them, but…the content, to me, did not fit the title of The Wedding Special. Maybe that's just me (an occupational hazard of having been part of many weddings in a professional capacity), but it felt like there was far too little about love for a wedding-related issue. I expected the obstacles and conflict, that's what makes a story, but this didn't feel to me like there was a wedding at the heart of it.
