un-ironic hippie wedding in the hamptons...

[Anonymous]

a brilliantly written up un-ironic hippie wedding in the hamptons: http://www.vogue.com/13384686/weddings-lauren-schwab-bobby-webster-east-hampton-longhouse-reserve/
why does this make me so sad: sad that apparently burning man really is dead; sad that the comments make me laugh so hard when i'm trying to give up 'mean' satire; sad that 1%ers are so oblivious; sad that we are right back in the gilded age, without the fun shenanigans of prohibition, jazz, and art deco; sad that it feels like DC is filled with people like this now. i'm tired of this 1% society even though i'm in the 10%. isn't anybody down to earth anymore? brilliant writing, though.

There is nothing hippy (ironic or non-ironic) about this. I doh the friend who mentioned Burning Man has attended it, unless it was in $2,000/night glamping tent. I love these type of wedding announcements; they are real but read like satire.

from the article:
"We carefully and thoughtfully designed every component of the wedding to encourage these feelings, from our save-the-dates and invitations featuring a picture of us at Burning Man, to the menu at the rehearsal dinner—designed by Bobby with Art of Eating and inspired by his childhood in Hawaii—to the ceremony that we wrote and designed . . . and the wild after-party!”

Then why does OP call it an "un-ironic hippie wedding"?

OP is indulging in rich envy and well she might as she is only in the 10%

Wow. Almost speechless. Have to say while the wedding was not "ironic" the reporter sure seemed like she was having a good time subtly making fun of them.
