So Happy for You

As a newlywed who showed a screening of the horror comedy Ready or Not at my wedding reception, I couldn't read this one fast enough. Set in a dystopian near future where the wedding industrial complex has gotten even more out of control thanks to government involvement, the pressure for women to marry and stay married has skyrocketed. To this end, wedding charms have been gaining in popularity, from sage and garlic bouquets and 100-foot-long bridal trains to stranger and much more dubious options. In So Happy for You, Robin, a 34-year-old lesbian, reluctantly becomes maid of honor to marriage-obsessed Ellie, and it's no surprise that by the time the wedding weekend finally arrives Robin's loud opinions and lack of filter are clashing with Ellie's increasing desperation for everything to go her way. Ridiculous and darkly funny, it was wild to see what lengths these two were willing to go to.
