Abstract:

Bridal magazines have become increasingly popular in Western society,
proliferating the idea of a 'princess bride' on her 'big day'. Yet little has
been written on how the ever-expanding wedding media and the popular wedding
culture constructs gender and affects the ways women live and experience their
weddings. Offering a critique of contemporary wedding discourse, this book
marries together analyses of media texts and their reception to propose a new
approach to media discourse. The analysis richly illustrates how women are
invited to embrace not only the stereotypical idea of bridal femininity but
also a consumptive way of experiencing it. Through examination of brides'
accounts of their 'big days', the book observes the imprints of the popular
gender imagery on their self-portraits and self-narratives, and describes the
women's diverse approaches to them. Based on insights from gender and critical
discourse studies, sociology and audience research, this exploration
illuminates the ongoing debate on 'media and gender' and its methodological
approaches.
