Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 2.1: Cy For Me
Remember Lisa Loeb? She got married last week. She’s 40 and still wearing those funky glasses.
Unfortunately, she didn’t marry a lawyer, so she isn’t eligible to be one of finalists. Here they are (only two this week):
1. Emily Rubin and Daniel Feldman
Read more about these couples, after the jump.

1. Emily Rubin and Daniel Feldman
(Buy them a roasting pan.)
The Case:
- This bride received her undergraduate degree from SUNY-Binghamton. She has a master’s in business administration from Adelphi and a JD from Cardozo.
- The groom’s credentials are similarly middle-of-the-road: undergrad at Maryland and JD from Hofstra.
- Both of them have eschewed Biglaw for itsy-bitsy practices. Dan runs his own shop in Flushing, and Emily is part of a two-person family law practice in Manhattan.
- Apparently it’s the first marriage on both sides, despite both of them being in their 40s.
The Case Against:
- Other than their mediocre resumes? Nothing.

2. Leah Yoon and Cyrus Frelinghuysen
The Case:
- This talented bride has been both a concert pianist (making her debut at the Kennedy Center at the age of 7) and a communications director for George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign. She has an undergraduate degree from Julliard and a master’s in public policy from Columbia.
- Cyrus is the grandson of a former Congressman. His mother’s first name is “Barrett.” You get the picture. But we must give you his credentials anyway, and here they are: undergrad at Princeton, master’s in international relations from Johns Hopkins, JD from Georgetown, associate at Howrey.
The Case Against:
- The NYT is confused about whether or not Howrey is prestigious enough to get the definite article, referring to it as “Howrey, the a Washington law firm.”
- “Cyrus Townsend Frelinghuysen” is kind of a douche-y name. And his picture doesn’t exactly shatter that impression.
The Verdict:
Team Yoon-Frelinghuysen is a June-caliber wedding, and they win this dead-of-winter contest easily.
