The title track was written and released to commemorate the wedding of Maximumrocknroll's Suzanne Bartchy and publisher Ramsey Kanaan.

Both songs on the release were recorded during the sessions for the band's sixth studio album, How to Make Enemies and Irritate People.

Mike Dirnt from Green Day performed on the album and played bass on "Suzanne Is Getting Married".

Due to a scheduled performance on the Late Show with David Letterman, he was unable to perform on the B-side, "Waiting for Susie", so producer (and future full-time bassist) Mass Giorgini played bass on the song.

"Waiting for Susie" was co-written with longtime bassist Dan Vapid; he left the band before these recording sessions began.
