Recenzii
"Persuasively argues that widespread acceptance of the idea that each white wedding canand perhaps shouldhave at least one element of unique self-expression has insured the continuing popularity of formal weddings. Without the option of some measure of variation, the 'cookie-cutter' white wedding would have become a stale and outmoded ritual. Instead, it remains a popular rite whose familiar general contours make it a comfortable and welcoming ceremony for Americans of diverse backgrounds but whose individualized details allow it to express the unique characteristics, interests, and perhaps politics of the couple at its center."-Katherine Jellison,Ohio University"Dunak has written a very engaging account of the stunning cultural malleability of the wedding as it responded to the changing sensibilities and desires of American couples. She deserves great praise for addressing alternative forms like the hippie wedding. But above all, Dunak compels us as no one else has with the fascinating and very important intertwined stories of white heterosexual weddings and gay and lesbian commitment and marriage ceremonies."-Christina Simmons,University of Windsor"It's easy to poke fun at the frou-frou, the Bridezillas, and the chocolate fountains. Karen Dunak prefers a more sophisticated undertaking, reading the desire for a lavish wedding as a personal and political statement of the American Dream. She traces the rise of coupledom and the decline in maternal authority and approval of neighbors and relatives to postwar affluence. . . . Dunak's innovative research ranges from plumbing the personal recollections of the happy couples to the emergence of the public belief that even when a president's daughter married, it was all about them."-Elizabeth Pleck,Professor Emerita, University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign
