I'm sure thousands of pages of ink or computertype or whatever has been spilled on this nytimes gem of a section. I'm not even embarrassed to say that one of the reasons I even started to blog was so I could add my two cents.
So this week's headlining couple is a -gasp- Democrat and a Republican! Yes, yes this is like an older, less-famous version of Mary Matalin and James Carville. The story has all the essentials of an Nytimes wedding section headlining couple:
1) they met when they were young, had some misconnections and met up again in middle age and realized their love for one another (or desperation- you decide)
2) they are seemingly opposites who are, despite the odds, attracted to each other
3) uncomfortable quotes the likes of:
"He’s not a Porsche; he’s a Chevy.”;
“She’s just too logical to stay on that side [Republican].”
4) a not-oft seen discussion of the Iraq war!! (the bride has admitted the approach may not have been right)
and.... my personal favorite
5) a description of how he had to give her an entire floor of his house to store her clothes and "listen to Rush Limbaugh's radio program while getting dressed."
Yes, the Nytimes has done it again and lived up to the reason I love Sundays. (you can find the full article here:
