The Wedding : New Pictures from the Continuing "Living Room" Series

Summary: Much Praise
Review: I must admit. I only picked up this book because Irvine Welsh had a small part in its content. I am very happy I did though. It is a very charming look at a families build up to a wedding, as well as the ceremony and reception. What makes this book so unique, is two things. One, this is no "ideal" family. Two, Waplington was able to capture some rare moments with his photographs. Flipping through the pages, you can get caught in their lives. I almost felt a part of the family. As though I was in the same run down house, with children running all about me. Walpington lives with his subjects. In doing this, he is able to show us a side to their lives you would not usually see in a photograph. I can not praise this book enough. Once again, my love of Irvine Welsh, has introduced me to a gem. This book is worth the time and money and should be noticed.
