Below is a cut and paste from the Sunday morning’s New York Times online wedding section which, for some reason, always fascinates me

A quick heads up from a lurker. Tracey Gordy’s dad, Clifton Gordy, is a retired Baltimore City Circuit Court judge who is widely considered to be a) a good judge and b) black. I do not know how Ms. Gordy presents herself and here in the Land of Pleasant Living, mixed race marriages are not such a big deal, but the implication from the post is that this is mixed race marriage. It is, but perhaps not of the type a casual reader could know of. If anything, it may even sharpen your point.
May I merely say that the pretentious self-involvement of the NYT ‘celebrations’ page makes me itch like Fenway found in the briar patch. I can’t decide if it’s some horrid east coast ghastliness, somehow typifying the Villagers altogether, or the premise.
It is perhaps even more frightening that people wish their names and circumstances to be presented in these pages, presumably to indicate their attested status.
I can haz Doggies please now?
This is not the America I grew up in! Thank God.
Re: Mead-Armor. I saw that story on the Love Boat.
Lewis and Clark. Cool.
The first one you mentioned (Mead-Armor) made me crazy when I read it this am. The writer states that this couple “met cute 36 years ago”. I didn’t find it cute that the groom was the lawyer for the bride’s soon-to-be ex-husband who she was in court accusing of assault and battery. The abused young wife and the lawyer were smitten in the courtroom and he asked her out on a date! Five spouses (and divorces) later the two are now married. And they say gay couples are demeaning marriage. Barf NY Times.
Cats and dogs, living together… mass hysteria!
Leave your perversions out of this!
Me & my box-turtle are having a wonderful honeymoon.
The guys’ names all read like graduates of Phillips Exeter–or perhaps Hogwarts.
Ah, John Armor, who’s a Freeper with an Assrocket resemblence, but can be quite pleasant for a wingnut: he regularly primaried against the long-term GOP not-quite-a-crook multi-millionaire deforester and part-time Russian oligarch congresscritter, until the job was taken by Blue Dog Dumbass Heath Shuler.
I have no fucking idea why it was worth the NYT’s interest, unless he pulled a few favours out of the bag. Highlands is pretty much Deliverance country.
