Do you love graphic novels? Do you love (or are trying to love) weddings? Behold an awesome combo: Something New, is a charming and relatable graphic memoir about planning the ultimate DIY wedding.

You might already know Lucy Knisley's work by her seriously endearing foodie memoir graphic novel, Relish: My Life in the Kitchen, chronicling her journey with food and family, and celebrating every bite.

The next logical read is definitely going to be the irreverent wedding planning graphic novel, Something New, which is now available to buy.

Here's a super-adorable description...

In 2010, Lucy and her long-term boyfriend John broke up. Three long, lonely years later, John returned to New York, walked into Lucy's apartment, and proposed. This is not that story. It is the story of what came after: The Wedding.

DIY maven Lucy Knisley was fascinated by American wedding culture... but also sort of horrified by it. So she set out to plan and execute the adorable DIY wedding to end all adorable DIY weddings. And she succeeded. This graphic novel - clocking in at almost 300 pages of humor, despair, and eternal love - is the story of how Lucy built a barn, invented a whole new kind of photo booth, and managed to turn an outdoor wedding on a rainy day into a joyous (though muddy) triumph.

Here's a sneak preview:

This is the perfect fun read for everyone who's planning a wedding and is "a little fascinated and also sort of horrified by it." Plus it also makes an awesome and most-unusual "yay you're getting married!" gift.

Really, a graphic novel that's all about the wonders and horrors of wedding planning is a gift to us all. Lucy's illustration and wit is strong in this one. So buy two of Something New, then save one and gift the other!
