[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I miss the old the ones, esp the ones back in the day when we found out where the bride and groom prepped, where they summered and who the attendants were.

Now it's boring and too PC. Yes, I am a snob.  [/quote]

Lots of the "old families" are gone from NYC. The money was split between too many descendants and they sold off the family homes to wealthy foreigners and developers. Their heirs scattered to the winds to FL, TX, CA, CT, the Cape, and Hudson Valley on a permanent basis. The "old families" can't even get into their legacy prep schools because their kids are competing with the kids of Asian, Eurasian, and Latin American billionaires who can write $1m checks for the development fund. The exclusive parts of Manhattan are so much more diverse than even 30 years ago. All the people I know in finance from the "old families" don't even keep a pied a terre in the city anymore, given the rise of nice corporate apartments and AirBnB.

Times have changed considerably. [/quote]

Well put. I’d still rather read about these families, where ever they live, than the cringe weddings they feature now. Or so over the top “inclusive” and forced. It’s awful. [/quote]

You’re describing the whole NYTimes now, especially the Style section. [/quote]

Lol so true[/quote]
