Can you hear the bells ringing? If not, just step outside into the warm rays of early summer and you might catch the not-too-distant chime of wedding season. In honor of all those tying the knot, we’ve compiled a playlist of shorts showcasing various aspects of marriage: from the proposal to the wedding to the first anniversary, these shorts will ease you into the season of matrimony.
Selected shorts include: A man searches without success for the ideal time to propose to his girlfriend in Larry Weinstein’s Burnt Toast: The Perfect Moment; in Daniel Kash’s Flip Phone, three bridesmaids share a memorable car ride to a wedding; Marv Freetell gets stymied by technology while trying to marry his beloved at City Hall in Marv Frettell’s Wedding Day by Tricia Lee; in Larry Weinstein’s Burnt Toast: Forever and Ever a couple stands at the altar before loved ones exchanging vows—truly honest vows; at his daughter’s wedding, Tim spots an attractive woman and is instantly transfixed in Philip Riccio’s The Reception; and in Anniversary Present by Doug Karr, confusion and hilarity ensue on the anniversary of a young married couple.
