Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 10.11: Five Guys
Warning: The penis-to-vagina ratio in this week’s column is quite high. If you’re already on the mailing list for Rick Santorum 2012, you may want to avert your eyes — or go make fun of sissy-boy John Kerry for helping plan his daughter’s wedding.
Our fabulous finalist couples:
1. Sebastian Dungan and Lavi Soloway
Read more about these newlyweds, after the jump.

1. Sebastian Dungan and Lavi Soloway
(Buy them a soup bowl.)
The Case:
- Sebastian (pictured right — we think), a graduate of Yale, is an independent film producer. Lavi (pictured left — we think), who graduated from the University of Toronto and Cardozo, is a partner at Masliah and Soloway, an immigration law firm in New York. He’s also a founder of Immigration Equality. (Lavi’s name should be a familiar one to many ATL readers, as he extensively covered the Aaron Charney vs. Sullivan & Cromwell lawsuit on his blog.)
- The third cutie in the picture is Lavi’s daughter, Lily.
The Case Against:
- Sebastian’s decision to purchase a blazer on their first date appears to mystify the Times. Hello? You see a fabulous blazer, and you jump on it. Mr. Right will respect your shopping acumen. End of story.

2. Adam Levine and Janson Wu
(Make a donation in their honor.)
The Case:
- Adam has quite a diploma wall: two undergrad degrees from USC (one in creative writing and another in biomedical engineering), a medical degree from UCSF, and a master’s in public health from Berkeley. He’s currently an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University.
- Janson (pictured) graduated from Harvard and has a JD from HLS. He works as a staff lawyer at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders in Boston.
The Case Against:
- We couldn’t come up with a picture of this Adam Levine. (But there are oddles of this Adam Levine, who’s quite hunky.)

3. Alisha Bhagat and Mark Egerman
(Buy them a garlic press.)
The Case:
- These two met as undergrads at Carnegie Mellon (she graduated with “college honors” and he got “university honors”). She has a master’s in foreign service from Georgetown; he has a JD, cum laude, from HLS, and a master’s in international development from Cambridge.
- They’ve dated for eight years but spent much of that time apart, do-gooding separately in various foreign lands like the Cook Islands, India, and Sri Lanka.
- Mark works for the National Abortion Federation in Washington, an association of abortion providers with an admirably straightforward name. He also has a fellowship at GULC in women’s law and public policy.
The Case Against:
- As committed as these two are to social justice, radical activism, and all things progressive, we hope they’re suitably embarrassed to be this week’s only heterosexual couple — and with these totally bourgeois registries at Macy’s, Crate & Barrel, and Williams-Sonoma.
The Verdict:
- Since the personal is political, let’s simplify things: Team Dungan-Soloway = immigration reform; Team Levine-Wu = marriage equality; Team Bhagat-Egerman = abortion rights. Which cause/couple will ATL readers chose?
