Legal Eagle Wedding Watch June 2010: Board-dom
Most weeks nowadays, the New York Times weddings announcements — and our coverage of same — focus quite properly on the newlyweds and their impressive accomplishments. But occasionally, a few announcements hearken back to a simpler day, when nobody cared much about the bride and groom, because the game of social one-upmanship was played on […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Best of Spring

What matters is that we’re back, and our team of interns has diligently kept track of the nuptial triumphs and travesties that have occurred in our absence. We’ve identified the very best of the best couples from […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Rabbit, Rabbit
Holy crap. We did not Photoshop this picture. It actually appeared in a New York Times wedding announcement. Chuckle at it, if you must. But know that when you do, you’re fiddling while a venerable institution goes up in flames. December isn’t a great month to get married, and this December was particularly bad. Still, […]
