    I confess - I'm a guy, I'm straight and I read the NYT weddings section every Sunday.

    That said - I liked that section better ten years ago when it was what David Brooks described as the "M&As" (mergers and acquisitions) where (typically) the bride had a Yale summa to go with her Harvard Law editorship and the groom was a specialist in brain surgery (having graduated from Princeton and Johns Hopkins as well as being an ex-Olympian in something or another)

    Check out the February 25, 2007 section - it is the only one in this century where the couple did not live together - and in this case I would guess they didn't sleep together either - until they were married. Sounded like a couple of pretty neat kids - their ditz quotient was way, way below average. #weddings

    When I read the write-up about "attorneys general" I thought, "Wow, they should be proud that such a tricky AP Style issue was involved - and adhered to correctly - in their announcement!"

    A boy I spurned in college's wedding was in T&C. I gagged.

    The Times should run marital updates every 5, no 3 years. "Mrs. Great-Cubed Strawbridge divorced her husband when she learned that the stores had closed down over a decade prior to their wedding. 'Had I known, I'd have sought out Macy boy,' she said in a huff, as she departed the courthouse. #weddings

    Although tired I will not neglect my duties. I went over the whole thing and I am a bit confused

    I love Anne Milewski ( Oliver Cary) fashion head shot she is a ballerina after all. I don't understand
    Kelly Nicole Fahl (William Irving Fradin) photo of just herself since it is clearly from her "posed for "wedding photos and I am thinking the groom had to have been in at least one picture
    Caroline Bierbaum, James LeFrak were married in a Lutheran service. He is from those LeFrak's (I just love that name) and she is obviously a member of the tribe. Lutheran?

    "Simrin K. Parmar and Jean N. Bennett were married Saturday in a traditional Sikh ceremony " This is the first Sikh ceremony I recall in Times, but his picture left me wandering where is the hair? I am waiting for the traditional Scientology ceremony announcement.

    I forget the couple but this from their announcement
    "officiated at Children’s Harbor, a camp in Alexander City, Ala., serving seriously ill children and their families." I am not sure what this place looks like but I don't believe it would be on my list of places to check out as a possible venue.

    On the other hand Elizabeth Thompson, Benjamin Smith being married at some place called the Hotel ZaZa made me smile.I will not google it because I want to believe it is a Gabor themed hotel.

    As far as scoring it, China was in the house. People went to China, they toured China, were from China, they were so missed while in China and I even suspect some had Chinese food during the cocktail hour. #weddings

    I may come across bitter but I had to work 7 hours-straight with no breaks on my day off and then these people!
    Jacqueline Ross and Aaron Albano BORING!!! I mean is this what you wasted your NYT words on, everyday schedule conflicts and minor illnesses. BTW, how do we know he didn't just double book, I mean he was fine for dinner the following night.

    Xixi Yin and Edward Amley Jr.- My aunt had her medical degree from Italy and she had to do it all over again over here unless she stuck to NIH and research, have the rules changed or is this just for China because girlfriends medical degree is from China Medical University in Shenyang . This is like WHole Foods california medly organic vergetables debacle.

    Emily Schopick and Matthew Robinson
    They left without exchanging phone numbers or e-mail addresses, but met again an hour or so later.
    Really? The suspense of it all

    I may take a break as to judge this more fairly. #weddings

    Can anyone explain to me the kicker to the Valenti article? The parenthetical "with a bustle" ? What? Why? Is that like some feminist in-joke that I don't understand because I hate women? #weddings

    @Phyllis Nefler: I thought it was some play on words to point out that she had breasts, to be honest.
    But that's because I know far too many people that like dropping the "[pause] no pun intended" line. #weddings

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Except a bustle doesn't actually involve the "bust," of course. And judging from the photograph, the wedding dress doesn't have a bustle.

    Did the writer mean "boustier," perhaps?

    @Phyllis Nefler: A bustle is an old fashion girly feature. I think it appeals to the senior citizen readership who were not doubt in shock that there was such a thing as feministing. #weddings

    @MisterHippity: ha, yeah, I know that. I'm just pre-conditioned to look for word play.
    I think the writer actually had no idea what they meant- they probably just liked the sound of old fashioned garments being used in the same sentence as 'ball-busting feminazi'. #weddings

    When I saw that scene the first time, I was like, oh of course Parker Posey was inspired by her local Astor Place where there are two Starbuckses and a Barnes & Noble with a Starbucks. Two of those Starbuckses are gone now. #recession #weddings

    @Phyllis Nefler: A valiant effort, Phyllis! And your video clips are killing me softly- both scenes are long beloved by moi.

    And I kid you not, for a microsecond I saw the word "aunt" in another announcement and thought of that exact Larry scene. I suppose it's because the announcements are so important to the betrothed, misprints are funny disasters. Or Charlotte York's Hitler mustache. Anyway, minds/alike, you're wonderful. #weddings

    It's a great pic - Valenti should have worn a burqa, definitely. I love blondie in the wrap dress who is totally ready to go and beta-man squeezing his surrogate peen.

    I think it's rather shameful the way Valenti's wedding picture in the Times shows her posing in a way that accentuates her breasts. She could have, you know ... slouched a little to make them less obvious. #weddings

    Happy he's okay, but he's gotten tons of crap over the years for being "The Cat" in KISS... Not the most tough and "metal" role... And now this? I'm pretty sure some metalheads are coming up with some new ways to mock the poor guy. #petercriss

    What? REO and Styx didn't factor in this atrocity somehow?

    What year is it in anyone's head where a band as musically irrelevant as KISS is still on your radar screen?

    Now where's my copy of Molly Hatchett's latest piece of vintage vinyl?
