What makes this the best wedding gift for the couple?
It’s literally their story — illustrated from your photos and details into a custom comic book. Nothing else on the registry comes close to that level of personal.
Do I need their whole relationship timeline?
No. A few key chapters and photos is enough — meet-cute, a favorite trip, the proposal. We turn it into finished panels with captions you can edit before ordering.
Can I preview it before the wedding?
Yes. Your first panels are free to preview. Digital is ready the same day; printed hardcovers ship in about 5 business days, with rush available.
Can parents or the wedding party contribute photos?
Absolutely. Gather stories from friends and family and we weave them into one illustrated love story.
Can I order copies for the wedding party or parents?
Yes — additional copies of the same recap are 25% off, so it’s easy to gift matching keepsakes.
What if they don’t love it?
Then you don’t pay. Every recap carries a 100% happiness guarantee.
