Book Description

July 1, 2005
"The comic-strip character Cathy, one of America's most famous single career women, finally got married to her hapless longtime boyfriend, Irving--and on Valentine's Day, no less. It's the end of an era-or was it?" --USA Today

"YES."

Rarely has one word, one positive response, resonated so loudly from the world's comic pages. But when leading lady Cathy finally took the plunge--after nearly 30 interminable years!--and accepted boyfriend Irving's marriage proposal, the occasion certainly deserved notice among Cathy fans around the globe.

The Wedding of Cathy and Irving captures all the fun, magic, and--yes--the nerve-racking overanalyzing that filled the Cathy strips leading up to the big decision and the big day itself. This collection features some of the couple's most memorable moments from throughout their long relationship, but the spotlight shines most on the year that included the unexpected "ring find," the proposal, the "YES," and the frenetic wedding plans that Cathy and Mom both endure and perpetuate.

The longest courtship in cartoon page history came to an end on February 5, 2005. But as The Wedding of Cathy and Irving shows, nothing is quite that simple in Cathy's world. Whether she's pondering pastor possibilities or worrying wedding dress selections to death, Cathy is unequalled in capturing the conundrums of modern women everywhere. It's all Cathy, through and through.

5.0 out of 5 stars so it came to this, December 21, 2005
By 
B. Emory (Wilmington NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Wedding of Cathy and Irving: A Cathy Collection (Paperback)
As a long time Cathy fan and a big time collector I have seen Cathy make up and break up with Irving, her longtime off and on beau. Through the thirty years that Cathy has been evolving into the woman she is now, I somehow knew that Irving would never be far out of her mind. Especially since he has made appearances in all of her comic books and most of her strips. The best thing about the couple is that they have changed a long way from the early seventies...Cathy was a self concious, overweight, depressed 20 something who wanted only to take care of a husband and have a family. Now she is a self made woman with a house, dog, good job, and security but still battling diets, clothing sizes, and mother's advice. Irving used to be a macho man interested in having Cathy wait on him hand and foot, get him food, and be supportive of his love for golf, football season, and his "man outings". Now he is a sensitive, supporting man who realizes his changes, and the time he has wasted by not finding out that Cathy was the one. Yet through the 30 years that they have been fighting, breaking up, making up, and loving each other, it has made for some hilarious moments and I could parallel a lot of their episodes in relationships I have had.
This wedding was inevitable, they finally let down their guard and celebrated their love. This collection is so funny. Its great because it shows the wedding preparations and the mothers and friends reactions. Plus Guisewite adds a bonus by including strips from different years showing the way they grew and changed which evolved into the engagement.
I love Guiswite's take on a single girl living her life and I was bummed when I found out Cathy was getting married. But this is a great collection and I will always be a fan of hers no matter what route her characters take.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cathy Finally Gets Her Man!, September 14, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wedding of Cathy and Irving: A Cathy Collection (Paperback)
Being a Cathy fan since day one, I feel qualified to let potential readers know that this book is great! However long you have followed Cathy's life, you need to experience Cathy and Irving finally taking that last step. This book gives highlights of their years together (and apart) and will leave you feeling like you missed something by not being invited to their wedding! Bravo, Ms. Guisewite! I laughed out loud (as always).

Now I'll wait patiently for the next book...Cathy and Irving's House Hunting Extravaganza!

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Time Coming!, June 14, 2007
By 
Lady D66 (Memphis, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wedding of Cathy and Irving: A Cathy Collection (Paperback)
Irving shouts "Will you marry me!?" Cathy shouts back: "Yes!" And so begins my favorite cartoon couple's hilarious journey! I have been a fan of this strip for years, and was glad to see Cathy and Irving finally walk down the aisle. Hey we've seen her go through every other kind of angst (diet, bathing suit, Mom, work), why not the angst that goes with planning a wedding and preparing for marriage? Like the other books in my collection, this one does not disappoint. Cathy Guisewite is wonderful at keeping this strip fresh and topical, which is why I will remain a fan for years to come.
