[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years back there was a long DCUM thread about the NYT wedding section and how unattractive and basic the couples were ....... apparently it is very uncool for the real New Yorkers to participate.....[/quote]

I know two couples who were featured in Vows back in the old days and this tracks. Truly some of the dullest people I've ever met. Back then the Vows column was really all about the paragraph that explained who the bride and groom's parents were and also where the B&G went to school and where they worked (if you go back far enough only the G's job mattered). The rest was just padding for that all important "Yes, but do they matter?" paragraph.

I think there is still the cast of that over the current mini-stories. It's more diverse in lots of ways and it's no longer about NY old money families, but there's still a lot of "yes, but where do they work and who is her mother again?" about it. The values have changed a bit (more focus on artists/performers or people in related industries than on finance, for instance) but it's honestly the same set up.[/quote]
