What is the Altarcations scoring for having a relative or friend become clergy for a day in order to "officiate"?

This is, I fear, a Friends inspired trend, which is sad and needs to fade away. #weddings

@City_Dater: I believe you're referring to Universal Life ministers, no? The more trendy it becomes, the less the score. I believe two months ago it was at a four and has since fallen to a two, or depending on the circumstance, one. #weddings

Ivanka is definitely a hard worker. This does not alter the fact that her perfume smells like a hot catbox. In August. With three cats. #weddings

Yeah, they are awfully pretty, the Kushners. And I truly hope they can make it work. But somehow I think about three years from now, just around Passover, she's going to be pregnant and giving him shit about hanging onto the money-losing Observer and he's going to get really fucking pissed and counter with: "Your stupid jewelry company isn't making any money! And your matzoh balls are as rock hard as your tits!" #weddings

When did the Modern Orthodox start converting exclusively for marriage? I say that because Ivanka's conversion seemed fast compared to other Orthododx conversions I'm familiar with. Does anyone actually believe that Ivanka will still pretend to be Jewish even if there's a divorce? I still see her dress sexy so I don't know what kind of conversion it was. The whole conversion and wedding seem non-kosher. #weddings

@brittneylee: All of these conversions for marriage , no matter how long they take, are faulty since the reason for the conversion is the marriage. I stand by my earlier comments that Ivanka had plenty of chances as a New Yorker to join the tribe. #weddings

I see you rejoined the land of the Times Phyllis.

The gays ,actually one gay, gets the educational point that housed everybody else:

Dr. Saletan, 59, a hematologist and oncologist, is a senior director of medical affairs at Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceuticals company. He works in Florham Park, N.J. He graduated from Harvard, from which he also received a medical degree. He received a master’s in journalism from Columbia.

The most B.S. title of the week:

Erin Bouchier, Neil Schaefer
The bride’s father is a lawyer in private practice in Carmel, and the executive director of the California Alliance for Golf

The theme of this week's announcements was Rabbi. There were Rabbi emeritus ( never knew such a thing existed), rabbi roommates, rabbi grooms, rabbi dads. This week's wedding was good for the Jews. Not everyone was as a great of a Jew as Staci Zemlak, Eytan Kenter but they did the best they could.

I don't know who those nutty Brits have coming and going in their halls of freedom, but if Margaret Thatcher is a code red alert, thank God I am in America . #weddings

I love the Ivanka/Jared story. It gives me faith someday I can meet a cute guy, fall in love, move across the country to try to make him miss me, buy new tits while I'm there, come back, break up with him a couple of times, console him through his dad's felony, convert to Judaism to try to close the sale and on a sunny fall afternoon, marry the shit out of him at my bankrupt Dad's golf course.

Here's hopin'!!!!!!! #weddings

Shane Wilson and Jessica Manners look like really nice kids, and were a lovely counterpoint to the two royals - I read nothing of Ivanka et ux past the headline, and that was more than enough.

Bet they spent more - a lot more - on the prenup than Wilson and Manners spent on their whole wedding #weddings

Boo on the zaftig shot! Commentary on the usual criteria is snarky fun, but when looks start to get factored in, it borders on mean-spirited -- they aren't celebrities after all.

Update: I just realized her weight was relevant to the announcement but I still think she should be called "formerly zaftig."
