    That was actually one NYTimes wedding announcement worth reading

    Ordinarily that column is one I just avoid altogether. The "nice upstanding" couples and their perfect wedding just seem so plastic and inhuman. But that particular edition gave me a good feeling.

    Then again, I'm not too kindly disposed towards the typical upper-middle-class East Coaster, anyways. Maybe it's time to puncture their little self-encapsulating bubbles.
