The registry has the toaster. This has the story.
Every wedding gift on the list is useful and forgettable. A comic book about the two of them - the night they met, the first apartment, the argument that became the joke - is the one they read aloud at the reception and keep on the shelf after the toaster is gone. Before you order, see the star of the story as a comic hero: free, from one photo.

A wedding gift should be impossible to duplicate.
It is the story they keep retelling
How they met gets told at every dinner for the rest of their lives. This puts the definitive version on paper, with their faces, in the place it happened, before the details drift.
It reads at the reception
A comic book is the one gift that gets opened at the table. The best man reads page one, the room laughs, and the couple takes it home. Speeches end. This stays.
It works from either side
From a friend, a sibling or the parents, the couple are the two heroes. From one partner to the other, the giver is the co-star. Tell us who is giving it and the story is written from there.
What arrives in your inbox.
- A 26-page comic: cover, dedication, 22 story pages, epilogue, back cover
- Both of them drawn from their own photos, in the city where it happened
- A high-resolution PDF, ready to print for the day or to send, within 24 hours
The Last Mile - The vows on the canal boat: both faces drawn from photos, the guests around them
The Last Mile - The couple on the boat at dusk, the peonies, the map, the whole day arrived anyway
Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
How they met, the true version
The bar, the app, the friend's party, the wrong train. Told straight, with the awkward parts kept in, because those are the parts they love.
The proposal, retold as a mission
One partner plans, the city conspires, the ring nearly goes in the river. A caper with a happy ending everyone in the room already knows.
Two cities, one map
They came from different places. The book follows both roads to the corner where they crossed, drawn with both hometowns and the city they chose.
The wedding that almost was not
The venue floods, the band cancels, the cake leans. The two heroes fix it together, which is the point of the whole day.
Fifty years early
A gentle one: the two of them as they will be, still arguing about the map, still in the same kitchen, with the wedding day as the flashback.
What to put in the form.
The exact place they met
The bar name, the street, the platform. A real landmark on page one is what makes the room go quiet at the reception.
The joke only they get
Every couple has one. Quote it exactly, even if it makes no sense to you. It goes in a speech bubble and they will scream.
Photos of both
Two or three clear photos of each of them, faces visible, the way they look now. Engagement photos work well.
Who is giving it
Tell us if you are the best man, the sister, the parents or the other half. The dedication page and the story are written from that seat.
Comics we have made for couples.
Easier than the seating plan.
Tell us about them
A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build their comic
An original story with them at the center: their real face on the cover, their city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.
Give the gift
A high-res PDF in your inbox, typically the same day, always within 24 hours. Print it, wrap it, or send it.
Order by the Thursday before a Saturday wedding so there is time to print and bind it. Friday still works with the 24-hour promise, though the print shop may be the bottleneck.
A full comic book, not a strip with their name in it.

Before you start.
Is a comic book an appropriate wedding gift?
It is the one the couple talks about. Registry gifts are expected; a book with both of their faces on the cover and the story of how they met inside is the gift that gets read aloud and kept. Pair it with the registry item if you like.
Can I get it in time for a wedding this weekend?
Yes. Every comic is delivered within 24 hours as a high-resolution PDF, usually the same day. Print it at any print shop, have it bound, and it is on the gift table by Saturday.
How fast is it?
Most comics are delivered the same day you order, and always within 24 hours. You get a high-resolution PDF by email, sized for printing at home or at any print shop.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. Add one photo and the order form draws a free preview of your person as a comic hero in about 30 seconds, in the style you choose and in their own clothes, before you pay. You get two tries, and your book starts from this hero.
What do you need from me?
Two or three clear photos of the person, a few details about them, and the occasion. The form takes a few minutes. The more specific the details, the more the story feels like them.
What if something is off?
Every comic includes one free revision, and there is a 14-day refund window. A person reviews every page before it is sent.
Is it really 26 pages?
Yes: a cover, a dedication page, 22 story pages, an epilogue and a back cover, with more than 50 individually composed panels. It is a full comic book, not a strip or a poster.
Also a good gift for...
They will tell this story for fifty years.
Give them the first edition. Both faces on the cover, the city where it started, the ending everyone came to see.
