Wedding Bells #15
Wedding Bells #15 (March 1956) This issue is an anthology containing three romantic stories. "A Dream Come True" follows a couple who were forced to postpone their wedding, with the groom arriving overseas to marry his bride, only to discover she has become engaged to a cattle rancher named Dusty at his ranch in Rocky Mesa. After initial complications, the couple reconciles and plans to marry. "I Was Too Beautiful" depicts a woman whose exceptional beauty attracts unwanted attention from a publicity agent seeking to exploit her for Hollywood stardom, leading her to realize that true love and genuine connection matter more than fame. "A Substitute Sweetheart" (partially visible) appears to involve romantic entanglements in an urban setting. Additional backup stories include "Winter Carnival Queen" and "The Substitute Sweetheart."
