A strange little side quest
Wedding Troubles may feel immediate, but the ideas around fashion and style have been evolving for a very long time. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That gives Wedding Troubles a little more company than it first appears to have.
