Guys, you have no idea how many television channels are devoted to weddings. The deck is stacked against you and you have no clue. Considering the state of marriage in the world that is either incredibly hopeful, or deeply cynical. I prefer to look positively.
To honor a boys look at marriage I propose to run an infrequent series called NUPTS. Nupts are quick review of many of the wedding notices in the Sunday, New York Times. My view may be snarky, biased, disbelieving or just plain wrong, but hopefully always respectful. If they can be optimistic and so can I.
Let us begin with April 26's paper.
Elaine and Nirav: She's a travel editor for Modern Bride magazine. No mention of where the honeymoon was, but she elected to be married at home in Charleston. For a travel editor I thought this was tres cool. Charleston is pretty this time of year.
Anne and Gerald: She is 80, he's 84. They met at Harvard in 1947, and had wait for their spouses to die.
Catherine and Kevin: She's a nurse practitioner. He is a free lance financial analyst and works on spreadsheets. Unemployed?
Laurie and Joel: Married Saturday by Joyce ordained by the Church at Your House Society. Joel's father, a Methodist Minister, also took part. I'm feeling a little tension between Laurie and her in-laws.
Carlin and Andras: Cute couple. His mother is an art psychotherapist at Yale-New Haven Hospital. She's seeing like, Whistler's mother?
Pauline and Miguel: She operates a home based dessert catering business in Manhattan. Seems kinda limiting to me, but maybe I misjudge the need for dessert in NYC.
There are 8 million stories in the naked city. These are only some of them.

Can't wait for more. You must be right about the in-law situation.
Are you channeling your inner Gladys? LOL
These are great. I look forward to the next episode.
"They met at Harvard in 1947, and had wait for their spouses to die." Heh heh heh.
I vote yes for this being an ongoing feature.
Yes, do more of these.
First thing I read on Sunday mornings, the Times weddings, and not because there is a chance anymore that I might know someone, but because I do love to snoop to see if the inlaws will get along. These are wonderful!
