I hadn't been to India in nearly 5 years and my partner had never visited before. And now we were set to wed in an elaborate three day ceremony, less than a week after we landed in the country. I have always made comics to cope with my anxiety, to process complicated emotions, and to gain a better understanding of the relationships in my life. I had to write this book to understand where my loved ones are coming from. To forgive my family, and myself, for everything we put each other through, in our desperate attempts towards our common goal— our dream wedding.
