@smartastic:
i feel the same way about jezzy. i spend enough time grading women's studies 101 papers as it is: i don't feel like reading the same stuff for free. gawker is more for those who already know that stuff.

@nyobserver: yes, clarify please -- your problem here is what? also, general question -- does anyone really feel like jezzy is the more feminist site? because, while it's for 'empowered women' and all, i kind of think gawker has a way more intelligent feminist angle on lady business when it comes up.

At least your sister in law didn't show up at your wedding wearing no hose, an ankle bracelet while popping out of a short rumpled outfit that barely covered her hoo-hah when she sat down for the formal pictures. In MARCH during daytime. Thankfully, her heels weren't clear.

Ted: dream on, dude.
Jezebels: is this post for real? like for women born in the 20th century and all? irony indeed.

It sounds as if most of the women who attended this event just wanted to find out how to marry a New Yorker writer. (Hint: Praise him a lot in your own writing, but disguise it with a cute nickname, like "Mr. Latte.")

One warning, though: Just because you marry the guy, that doesn't make you Katharine White.

I haven't read this book yet but I did really like the more personal take on it, Hana Schank's A More Perfect Union: How I Survived The Happiest Day of My Life. I think it offers some middle ground by someone who actually got sucked into The Knot and all the wedding drama (but not totally sucked in).

I've been through the whole thing. It has a certain internal logic. The purpose of the big wedding experience is that the surreal awfulness of it creates a bond between the couple, like veterans who've been in the shit together. Also, to create jobs for cater-waiters, who can then afford to buy multi-colored condoms and summer shares. It's the Circle of Life.

A dialogue that defies comment. Only the Kreepies could do it justice. Must we wait a week?
