At age PL: thirty-five, they began to consider starting a family. Despite external PL: pressure to wed and amutual commitment, they felt ambivalent about PL: marriage. Were they alone in this? What social and political forces PL: might contribute to this doubt? The 90 minute, black and white, PL: documentary feature film, "Wedding Advice: Speak Now or Forever Hold PL: Your Peace" explores these questions through interviews with family, PL: friends, and "expert" writers, professors, sociologists, and political PL: commentators. The interviewees hold varying perspectives on and have PL: different relationships to the institution of marriage. Re-framing the PL: traditional question "is there any reason why this couple should not PL: wed?" the film asks our chosen community of interviewees: "is there any PL: reason why the filmmakers should wed?" As others convey the story in PL: their allusions to the filmmakers and through their own anecdotes, the PL: documentary illuminates the conflicting desire for and fear of PL: traditions associated with marriage. Sections of the film play off of PL: traditional marriage "scripts" from the proposal onward, culminating in PL: others' "wedding advice" to the filmmakers. Visuals include the wedding PL: photography of Kate Philbrick; ironically placed footage from turn of PL: the century films (such as The Bride, 1918 and The Wedding, 1905); and PL: footage from award winning documentarian Jaime Kibben's 1999 home video PL: "The Brides Wore White".
