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

Product Description:

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".
