The poster. Two brides sit apart at either end of a rusted bench in a derelict tiled hall, each with her face in her hands — one blonde and barefoot, one dark-haired in white sneakers, both in torn ivory gowns. Their bouquets lie dropped on the floor beside a fallen bottle and a single abandoned shoe. Above them the title is spelled out in gold balloon letters, dented and hung with white flowers.
