\Goin' to the Chapel of Love\: Teenage Bridal-Think in Mid-century American Popular Culture
2018
Overview
A wedding was the inaugural event in the establishment of a strong household that maintained clearly defined gender roles. [...]a wedding signified a young couple's commitment and financial solvency, while a hasty courthouse marriage could signal capriciousness and a lack of emotional maturity, if not an unexpected pregnancy. Advertisers presented these products as \"the material representation of marriage and love,\" stand-ins until young women found the \"right one\" (134). [...]sterling silverware might plausibly be seen as \"one half of a love match\" (134). According to comic book logic, though, since Linda has not had an affair with a married man or stolen any fortunes, she still deserves a shot at happiness. According to one newspaper account, she was granted the divorce a little more than a year after their marriage because her husband was, she said,\"“cold to me and showed me no affection in any way\" (\"Divorce Granted\" 13).
