The bartender denies it. She also went on a rant about him making anti gay remarks, and according to the restaurant, he’s gay himself. I’m taking RR’s story with a pinch of salt (on my fries). There are stories about her being an asshole before.

Not only that, but marriage is not only between men and women anymore, and non straight couples seem to get along just fine without anyone claiming it’s anti-feminist.

It’s pretty fucking disappointing to see an article about how boring it is reading about feminist weddings on a feminist website. Especially when the bride IS such a kickass, vocal, smart feminist.

yeah I’m not really getting it. We no longer belong to men as objects when we are married they can no longer abuse us just because we are married, we no longer lose everything if we divorce and we have all sorts of things to keep our possessions from before marriage and those we achieve after to ourselves. Not seeing…

I will give you the idea that weddings can’t be feminist, but why not marriage? If the original definition of feminism is the idea that women should be given the same rights and opportunities and equality that men enjoy, what part of marriage, in its modern state, doesn’t allow that?

Over on I Thee Dread, they used to call those the lentil brides: “Oh, it’s really nice that you’re spending $10,000 on a commericalist snoozefest: we just want to have a really big party with a lot booze!” Congratulations, darling, that’s—a wedding.

Yes, they have moved away from the wedding-industrial complex with an announcement in the NY Times.

Ugh, yeah, we need a new category, instead of bridezilla, for brides who think they’re doing everything differently and aren’t. I was one of those (I like to think, to a slightly lesser degree, but perhaps not); I was all, I don’t want to make my bridesmaids buy new dresses! I don’t want them to exactly match! Just,…

I think whoever writes Vows hates that column. There’s always a barely suppressed hint of “I HATE THIS JOB I HATE THIS JOB” undercutting every word. It’s even better when they clearly hate both of the people involved:

You could do this as performance art and New Yorkers would pay to see it.

They are wedding anarchists! THE (best) MAN CAN’T HOLD THEM DOWN.

The article seems a touch insufferable. Not this one here on Jez, but the original. I could be wrong, but I have no intentions of clicking through to find out.

I’m going to kicked to death, but:

Agree. They turned Nancy drew into another boring cop show. In new york. THERE ARE OTHER JOBS THEN COPS AND LAWYERS. ALSO OTHER PLACES THEN NEW YORK

I thought that dress was an odd choice because it seemed more cocktail than meteorologist, but not because her scandalous shoulders were showing.

Agreed. There was a part of me that said “good” after reading that description. Can we stop stripping the source material of everything unique about it in order to turn it into yet another police procedural? It’s just like Lucifer on FOX— of course, that has a male lead character, so it actually made it onto the air.

I want to be mad about this but I can’t. I’m glad it’s dead. They took Nancy Drew and just made it into another soulless police procedural. As if TV needs more of those. It striped away everything that made Nancy Drew unique. I’d love a Nancy Drew TV show, but not like this.
