In which Commenter Girl reads the Times wedding section and proceeds to callously and unjustifiably assign a random “market value” to complete strangers by virtue of the fact that they work in the finance industry, and are begging for it.
Well well well. It seems that after last week’s EBITDA Cinderella story, all similar unions have been cast underground for fear of inclusion in today’s write-up. To which I say: cowards! Wither the couples lathering each other up with reference to yield curves? Hiding, apparently, ‘cause we know they’re out there. This weekend’s batch of weddings was virtually unmockable (especially since we’d been spoiled by Mr. and Mrs. Fredston last week). And yet, we forge ahead, confident that there will be many more nuptials capable of making you upchuck your lunch ahead. (Also, our pain was eased by a strong cocktail at the finish…more on that later.)

This is incredibly sad. May his family and friends find the strength to deal with their loss.
Bess is reporting this because it has to do with a community and culture of which you are all a part. How about a little introspection and a lot less negativity? This thread certainly isn't the appropriate place for it.
