Mad Libs with the New York Times Weddings/Celebration Section!
Here is a helpful guide to writing a proper wedding announcement from the New York Times. I love it for so many reasons. But the first is that they assume people getting married in the city are in their 30s. And second, they get all up in your business. The editor of the Times Wedding Section is like my mother, who is the biggest gossip I know. “What do they do? Where do they live? Are they having a Jewish Wedding? Where did they go to school? What did they study? Where are they from? What do their parents do? Are their parents married?” The New York Times and my Mother both know exactly the information needed in order to fully judge those that we have never, and will never, meet.
