So I got an e-mail yesterday from Anna Jean Grossman who writes the Engagements column for the New York Observer. Apparently she found the blog and wants to put us in her column (I'm assuming she does a 2-1 interview to publish ratio, heck, I would, so we may not actually be in the peach pages of the paper, but I can dream, can't I). But we've decided to do it. Also, I had about 15 minutes the other day and wrote the NYT weddings thing we'll send in. V wants to edit it, then we'll post it.

The great thing about the Observer (of which I have been a faithful reader for years) is that outside of Manhattan nobody knows what it is. I was trying to explain it to someone today and couldn't really. Kind of literary, media, gossipy, snobbish yet not, it's a great paper though. I suppose the best way to describe it is it has the kind of news that the girls in Sex and the City would care about, and was the actual home of the real column by Candace Bushnell in the 90's.

Oh, Anna sent me a link to this wedding site, indiebride.com. Interesting, a wedding site for people who are slightly (or greatly) embarassed about the whole wedding thing. Pretty good writing though, some of it funny, some of it rather pointless, but the kvetch section is pretty good.
