    @Smitros: Foster helpfully provided one at the very end! A thin yellow polo shirt being the only thing between you and the girls is only a click away.

    Oh, by the way, new rule I decided this morning for anyone who's looking: feel free to crit the points ranking or argue the nature of the way the couples were studied. But: give Ms. Nefler any of the we-don't-like-this shit you fuckers give me, and I will ban you with little to no discretion.


    YAY for this column, again. +4.

    I suppose it might have been implicit in your +2 points award, but if not, you neglected to give them an extra point for not only being married by the bride's father the priest, but also by an *Episcopal* priest.

    Actually though, both couples were wed in accordance with the genteel Episcopalian faith. It's a push!

    How is the Heidi Montag clone's father a priest?
    I've been away from the Catholic church for a while, but isn't that against priest rule #1?

    @Hockeymom: Lutheran priests can be married, as can Eastern Catholic priests. Also, I think that if a Roman Catholic priest is married before he enters the seminary, that he is permitted to remain married.

    I am the least snobby person on the planet--I met my husband at Coney Island High on St. Mark's Place and I got married in an Italian joint in the Paulus Hook section of Jersey City--but there is no excuse EVER to get marred in flip-flops.

    Methinks these two folks in recovery may not have had the big bucks to buy fancy shoes for their nuptials. I realize that today's subjects/writer have pedigrees and tasteful cash up the wazoo, but most of us hoi polloi, recovered and not, are feeling the affects of our soured economy. I hope these two can make it, especially for the sake of their sweet-faced girl. I know I'm being unironic, but this Yale M.A. grad (who thinks New Haven is a depressing hole) thinks their story is a big ole breath of fresh air.

    @JeanneNarea: Yes, I don't really care about fancy overpriced wedding shoes, I know we're in a recession, etc., but "shoes" is the key word here: shoes, not flipflops--which render you practically barefoot. Seeing as she's also pregnant, it's not such a cute combo, IMHO.

    Didn't go to Yale, but I married into a family of them. New Haven has a certain Gestalt and a great library and museums.

    You sure the two guys (groomsmen? bouncers?) in the background of the addict wedding didn't emerge straight out of The Big Lebowski? Definitely saw one of them back in 'Nam.

    Re: your friend's wedding. "Roberto Lupo Talamo Atenolfi Brancaccio"?! GOD. DAMN. I noticed they took the name "Talamo." Was that a conscious matter of choice, looking down the name lineup and going, yeah, we're gonna take #3/5.

    The paddleboat proposal made me chuckle. Could you imagine if the answer was "no"? That would have been terribly awkward.

    Peters and Suttle look like brother and sister and will make an inbred-looking child. This happens a lot when blonde WASPs and fancy Ashkenazi Jews bump 'em--which is why I married a fine example of black Irish Louisiana farm trash (just kidding, honey).

    I'm glad the geighs are finding that getting married doesn't solve relationship problems, but makes them worse. Much like it does for the straights.


    That last announcement should simply read: Yale, Yale, Yale. Also - Yale!!
