We interrupt today’s blood-letting to bring you the latest from the NYT weddings page. In keeping with the dark mood around here, all of this week’s contestants are brunettes. Here they are:
1. Sophie Jensen and Robert Lalley
See which of these newlyweds still have jobs, after the jump.
1. Sophie Jensen and Robert Lalley
(Buy them an ice bucket.)
The Case:
- This two-lawyer pair met as students at Albany Law School. The bride was cum laude at Union College; the groom went to SUNY-Buffalo and has a master’s from SUNY-Albany.
- Sophie began a new job this week as an assistant district attorney in Binghamton, NY. Robert works as legal counsel for BAE Systems.
The Case Against:
- Everything in their write-up happened in the state of New York, yet none of it happened in New York City.
2. Vicky Hallett and Jeffrey Miller
(Buy them some spaghetti tongs.)
The Case:
- This Washington wedding features the fitness columnist for the Washington Post (the bride), and a 2L at American Law School (the groom).
- Vicky’s undergraduate degree is from Harvard; Jeffrey graduated from Haverford and has a master’s in European politics from Oxford. He was also a Fulbright fellow at Berlin’s Humboldt University, studying the German welfare system.
The Case Against:
- Not many Harvard girls dream of one day standing under the huppah with an American Law student. Vicky must be marrying for love — or the Fulbright.
3. Gillian Deutch and Daniel Solinsky
(Buy them a cutting board.)
The Case:
- Another two-lawyer pair, this one from Yeshiva’s Cardozo School of Law. The bride, who apparently goes by “Gilly,” is a graduate of MIT; the groom went to Penn.
- The bride is employed! She’s an associate in DLA Piper’s New York office.
The Case Against:
- Daniel’s employment status, on the other hand, is murky. The write-up only says vaguely that he “is a litigation lawyer in New York.” We wonder if he’s a “litigation lawyer” in the same sense that those poor 440 souls “work at Latham.”
The Verdict:
It’s a sign of these troubled times that LEWW must reluctantly award top honors to two Albany grads simply because both of them happen to be employed. Congratulations, Team Jensen-Lalley.
