Knisley also created her own decorations and table settings to express her creative side. She emphasizes to the reader that a traditional wedding isn’t for everybody (and if you like traditional, that’s okay!) For example, Knisley’s mother lives in a rural area and built a barn for their ceremony and reception. Throughout her memoir, Knisley goes into detail about her wedding planning process. After being apart for a few years with meeting each other in between, John randomly popped the question and Knisley said yes. They met while Knisley was completing art school and as their relationship developed, they realized they wanted different things in life. Knisley begins her novel with some background of how she and her husband, John met and ended up engaged. Knisley uses her graphic novel skills to lay it all out for all of those who may be entering the whirlwind of wedding planning. Planning a wedding can feel stressful, exciting, nerve racking, and sometimes impossible to do. As a bride to be myself, I was intrigued to see how Knisley described the year leading up to her wedding. Lucy Knisley gives an honest take on the wedding planning process with her graphic novel, Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride.
