Rejected by the NYT Weddings Editors? Fake Law Firm Fights for YOU!
As ATL’s resident expert on the New York Times weddings section, we hear all the time from bewildered couples who didn’t make it into the paper. And they’re hurting. No matter how raucous the reception or how passionate the wedding night, when the mother of the bride rips open the Sunday Styles section and realizes […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 6.7: Matched
Another week, another NYT Vows column comparing the bride to a giant coniferous tree (“The bride stood stately and erect, echoing the Redwoods that surrounded them . . . “). Seriously, could they maybe assign Vows once a month to a real writer, just to make it a little less chirpy and insipid? What about […] - Sponsored

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.31: Canon-Baller
We were dying to write about this wedding announcement, featuring a slutty Strawberry Shortcake costume (WTF?) and a wacky/tacky proposal story. But alas, commenters would have crucified us for elevating comedic potential over excellence. So behold, this week’s finalists. They include five Harvard degrees, five Yale degrees, and OMGOMGOMG the best Article III officiant ever. […]

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.24: Food for Thought
Before we discuss this week’s finalists, here’s a peek at some of the weddings we can’t feature due to space constraints: a former Kirkland & Ellis partner marrying the youngest-looking 62-year-old we’ve ever seen, the creator of the Anonymous Lawyer blog marrying an anonymous doctor, and a Rhodes Scholar marrying an ordinary person. The fact […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.17: Be My Bâby
Last week, the “normal-seeming” couple won our reader poll in a romp over the buttoned-up, hyper-achieving competition. No danger of that this week! All three of these contestant couples give off major type-A vibes and are firmly locked in prestigious-degree-accumulation mode. And oh, how we love them. Here are the contestants: 1. Alyssa Worsham and […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.3: One Word: "Awesome"
Six impressive lawyers headline our survey of this week’s NYT wedding pages. Even more impressive is that four of them are still clinging to Biglaw jobs — assuming, of course, that bad news does not await any of our returning honeymooners. Here are the finalists: 1. Neda Karamouz and Stephen Vander Stoep 2. Danielle Cohen […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 4.26: Irish I-Dos
There are certain phrases you don’t expect to encounter in the same wedding announcement. “U2’s The Edge” and “associate counsel to President George W. Bush” probably fit that bill. And yet one of this week’s weddings manages just that curious alchemy, and more. Here are this week’s finalists: 1. Robyn Neblett and Jermaine Fanfair 2. […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 4.19: Partnership Prospects
The first weekend after Easter traditionally marks the beginning of High Wedding Season, where the weekly NYT fodder switches from merely interesting to heart-stoppingly impressive.

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Couple of the Month Results
Voting has ended for last week’s Couple of the Month polls, so it’s time to announce the winners.

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 3.15: The Brides of March
It’s NCAA Tournament time, which means that if you get married this weekend or the next two, your guests will be cursing you as they surreptitiously refresh their BlackBerries. We therefore applaud this week’s brides, who planned their weddings for this past weekend, before the madness struck. They are — if we may say so […]

Marking a new low for the legal industry, there was only one practicing lawyer in the NYT weddings section this week. We were able to round out our contestant list with a 3L and a non-practicing JD, but LEWW remains alarmed about this decline in our profession’s visibility. We hope there is no truth to […] -

Remember Kathleen DeLaney and Courtney Thomas? Almost a year ago, this comely couple was named an ATL couple of the week.

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 2.15: First-Rate
There was no LEWW last Friday because last week’s wedding pages were even bleaker than the Biglaw employment news. We’ve bounced back nicely, though, because Valentine’s Day fell on a Saturday this year, making this week’s weddings section a February feast of premium nuptial news. We present three outstanding couples for your consideration: 1. Parisa […] -

Some of our friendly commenters frequently gripe about the high number of Rabbi-officiated weddings featured in this space. They’ll be delighted to know that only one of our three weddings this week is a straight-up Rabbi wedding. The others were jointly officiated by a Rabbi and a Mennonite minister and a Rabbi and a bankruptcy […]
