Gawker's wedding expert, Phyllis Nefler, is on vacation this week, so someone else took over for her reviewing The New York Times' Weddings & Celebrations section. That in itself isn't unusual, but their choice for a guest writer is: Hunter Walker, a man! Can a male writer do justice to all the bride-centric goings on? Let's find out!
The answer is sadly, 'no.' Hunter starts off by declaring that weddings are a "bigger deal" for women, and refers to a recent study showing how men benefit financially from getting married. Hardly a romantic place to start an Altarcations column! The Gawker editor seemed to think so too, as three separate comments (playfully) admonished Hunter!
When he finally gets around to this week's couples he's pretty rude about it, calling couples names and everything! Check out this week's Altarcations here.
All in all, it was an especially sour Altarcations. We're not fans of this Hunter character. We miss Phyllis.
