Weddings : invitation for disaster?, 2005.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367547693

Snow collects stories of wedding disasters and hypothesizes that these disasters, while traumatic when they occur, are nevertheless unimportant to the healthiness of the subsequent marriage between bride and groom.

She concludes by suggesting that disaster stories are used to educate others about the possible pitfalls of weddings and how to avoid them.
