Adorable "Altarcations"

Oct05

Gossip site Gawker has a Sunday feature Altarcations, in which couples featured in The New York Times' Weddings & Celebrations are scored and rated by Gawker writer Phyllis Nefler.  It's usually pretty funny, and not at all as mean-spirited as our little description might unintentionally imply.

This week's installment of Altarcatiosn (we love that title!) featured that fabulous photo you see above, and included this letter to Phyllis:

"Dear Gawker,
On August 16, we were subjects of Phyllis Nefler's Altarcations nuptial scoring.

Having not met the other couple, but realizing we were in the same neighborhood, we arranged to meet for beers and bratwurst.  It was quite an enjoyable time – visual evidence is attached.  Many thanks for making the introduction."

We love it!  This weeks installment also features other couples, fun photos and links to videos.  Check out the entire Altarcations post here.

Hey, thanks so much for this link! I really do try not to be mean-spirited and rather sit back and celebrate the absurdities in a loving way. I mean, most of the jokes practically write themselves : )

We love your Altarcations feature! We know it's witty and fun, and we just wanted our brides to know not to worry about how you "rate" weddings -- that's it's not mean at all and really pretty sweet and celebratory.

We can't wait for your next column!
