    I had a friend at the Bhagat wedding who wouldn't shut up about it. This sounds like a real contender for long-term win. Apparently they had a Nobel Peace Prize winner there among other people, which was the big takeaway. And the Jew-Muslim White-Indian thing combined with three different weddings sounds pretty awesome. I've been jealous of the invite and am not surprised to see them take this one. And tough competition, the guys are hott.

    Small victories: in the print edition (couldn't find it online) they ran a correction for their misspelling of wheaten terrier, which I POINTED OUT IN THIS SPACE. I'm gunning for your job, Bob Woletz's copy editor.

    I'm trying to think what store in "Noho" he bought his blazer at. Le Chateau? No way. Nom de Guerre? Difficult to navigate with a stroller. Atrium? Likely.

    Are Chloé Miller's parents of Chloé Millerand Hans Noel in the witness protection program- so vague

    She is the daughter of Melabee M. Miller and Laurence M. Miller of Hillside, N.J. Her father is a lawyer in private practice in Jersey City. Her mother is a freelance architectural photographer whose photographs appear in magazines and newspapers.

    I misread Adam Levine and Jansen Wu as Jason Wu. I had visions of Maroon 5 and Michelle Obama. My fave line thus far, I have a few more couples to go is :
    Remy Elizabeth Pearce and Jonathan David Forgang were married Saturday by Rabbi Peter H. Schweitzer at the Players club in New York.

    I so love the wedding section, the gems that are tucked in those announcements are priceless. I am glad to see I am not the only one.The casually thrown in one are especially satisfying.

    Totally unfair on the part of the editors to let Lily be in the picture with Sebastian/Lavi. She's too cute!! If I were a straight who submitted my "eyebrows-to-eyebrows" photo to the NYT this weekend and got rejected, I would be pissed.

    Anyone taking bets on whether Clark Hoyt will have to respond to the avalanche of mail from angry brides?

    In reply to Americans Arrested in Iran Thought They Were Camping in Kurdistan
    It's VERY easy to cross over an unmarked border in the less industrialized parts of the world.

    I have a close friend who is an AP reporterr (definitely not a thrill seeker) and she's been detained twice for this in the Middle East and in Africa. Luckily she had cash on her and was able to bribe her way out.

    Really, if you don't know the exact circumstances and haven't heard their story first hand, it's probably best to wait before deciding whether they "deserved" it or not.

    They are UC Berkeley students and work for a local bay area news publication. A friend of theirs and spokesperson of the publication said that they were originally in the area to do reporting in Iraq, and were specific about not wanting to go into Iran. Either way, I hope they get the same amount of work put into getting them back home.

    I have a feeling these guys are on their own!! Men don't get the same sympathy from the masses as two young women, one with a baby get. I don't think President Bill will do anything for these fools. Besides, there are hundreds of Americans in foreign jails, mostly for drug smuggling, but still, nobody even thinks about them.

    @mslewis:
    Whatever happened to that African woman from the U.K. being held in Laos for smuggling Heroin? She had a baby in prison. Her parents thought she was raped by prison guards. Pretty awful stuff. If you want to smuggle hard drugs pick some Nordic country for chrissake.

    Accidentally wandered across the Iranian border on purpose. I feel sad that these guys are under lock in Iran, but next time, whaddabout entering Iran the legit way, via France, Canada, or any other Western Euro country?

    The government should start charging people for the cost of saving them when they cross borders into unfriendly nations (or neighborhoods like Bed Stuy).
    I am betting these people knew they were in Iraq (and those two women probably knew they were in North Korea).
