SAVE THE DATE
The Occasional Mortifications of a Serial Wedding Guest
Weddings. They’re fun, festive, and joyful, and at a time when people marry later in life—and sometimes not at all—weddings offer endless opportunities to reexamine love and what we want for ourselves, regardless of whether our aim is a walk down the aisle. In Save the Date, Jen Doll charts the course of her own perennial wedding guesthood, from the ceremony of distant family members when she was eight to the recent nuptials of a new boyfriend’s friends.
There’s the first trip home for a childhood pal’s big day, in which she learns that her first love has eloped to Hawaii. There’s the destination wedding attended with little baggage beyond a suitcase of strappy sandals and summery party dresses. Regrettably, there are weddings that mean the end to a valued friendship. There’s also the wedding that offers all the promise of new love. Wedding experiences come in as varied an assortment as the gowns at any bridal shop, and Doll turns a keen eye to each. Funny, honest, and affecting, Save the Date is a fresh and spirited look at the many ways in which we connect to one another.
From a fresh and exciting new voice, a hilarious and insightful examination of the search for love and the meaning of marriage in a time of anxiety, independence, and indecision.
Jen Doll has written for The Atlantic, The Atlantic Wire, Cosmopolitan, The Hairpin, New York magazine, The New York Times Book Review, The Toast, Vice, and The Village Voice, among others. She has attended dozens of weddings and had pretty much every possible feeling about them. She lives in Brooklyn.
