Fun Facts For Better or Worse... But Mostly Bizarre The Hilarious, Heartbreaking, and Utterly Bewildering Ways Humans Have Formalized 'I do' and 'I don't Anymore' Across Civilizations. Take it or leave it.
Step aside Romeo and Juliet; this book is crashing the wedding and bringing the receipts. Fun Facts For Better or Worse... But Mostly Bizarretakes readers on a whirlwind tour through the wild, weird, and occasionally downright WTF ways humans have gotten hitched and unhitched throughout history.
From Viking bride prices paid in cows to the ancient Mesopotamian prenups that made modern lawyers blush, to a culture that literally marries trees (yes, trees), this book asks the eternal question: Are we sure this whole marriage thing wasn't a dare? Whether you're a hopeless romantic, a jaded divorcee, or just someone who enjoys marveling at how strange humans can be when armed with rings and rituals, this riotously witty journey through matrimonial madness is for you.
And don't worry, we don't skip the breakups. Because what goes I do must sometimes go I'm done, and nothing says civilization like a legally binding meltdown with witnesses.
Get to laugh and know:
- How different cultures have turned love into a bureaucratic performance art: some involving goats, others involving ghost spouses.
- The most absurd divorce rituals ever recorded: including a public shoe-throwing ceremony (yes, really).
- Why marriage has survived millennia of chaos: even though most people can't agree on dinner plans.
Buy it now and laugh, gasp, and cringe your way through the most dysfunctional and fascinating relationship saga humanity has ever written. Love may be eternal, but the ways we screw it up are refreshingly diverse. Buy your copy TONIGHT!!!
