TMI. I don't think people should be embarrassed of mental illness... but yeah, a little TMI for a wedding announcement.

[ttt]

Why do people insist on making every private detail of their lives public? You don't have to be ashamed of it, but why would you feel the need to tell everyone about it either?

[Chirp]

Ditto imoan and ttt.

Overshare.

I think it's kinda sweet. And meeing a rich attractive divorcee is sort of a Westchester fair tale.

[ringstrue]

Strange! WTF is the point of all this and how are they not AWing? I would cut it down to this:


Maria Lemos and Mario Maccioni were married Saturday at the Church of Our Lady of Peace in New York. The Rev. Bartholomew Daly performed the ceremony.

Ms. Lemos graduated from Colégio Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro. She is a daughter of the late Maria Lemos and the late Dr. Claudio Lemos.

Mr. Maccioni is the vice president of LC International. His parents are Sirio Maccioni and Egidiana Maccioni.

The couple met in May 2010 in White Plains and quickly struck up a friendship. In September 2010, they began dating. Mr. Maccioni proposed the next Valentine's Day.

Reminds me of a wedding toast I heard where the father of the bride me a comment about the grandparents of the groom being dead. Awkward.

You need credentials to get in the NYT wedding announcements. you've stripped them of all the interesting tidbits like his family owning Vegas restaurants.

NBD. Half of NYC is in therapy at any given time.

The writing is clunky and the whole thing is awkward.

Plus, it sounds needy and not at all romantic.

Also, pshaw, fuck mental illness. I WANNA GO TO THE BEACH!

[statlerwaldorf]

Definitely an overshare.

[copzgirl1171]

NYT hit pay dirt with this one. They look like they are doing a public service.

Gotta have street cred to get your marriage published in the Times...god, doesn't anyone watch SATC reruns

[marie427]

Par for the course in the NYT wedding announcements section - it's AW Central. It's why I feel like such an alien in my own city.

[Deleted]

I'm not sure what's AWy about telling the whole world your grief over selling the family house landed you in the nutfarm with a lady who didn't want to go to treat her own issues because the beach was calling.

I think drama llama is more appropriate.

Yeah, cuz I was being tasteful. Oh I see what you did there.

Insane. Once it is on the internet, you can't take it back. Maybe people that know them today won't care, but it seems shortsighted, because you never know what kind of turns your career will take, and this could hurt them in the future.

[heyjude]

I think it's wonderful that we are coming to a place where mental illness can be discussed. If they met in say the radiation wing of a hospital would it be AWy or TMI?

Keep in mind The NYT purposefully puts interesting couples in their wedding section. They are trying to tell a story.

Most of them are not at all interesting. This one was, I'll give it them that.

And I found that hilarious post about that section (it was once posted on TN):

www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6769919/matrimonial-moneyball

That is how I feel about the New York Times wedding section.

[brookles]

All I got from it was this:

" after a string of difficult events that included being blinded in one eye in a 2008 paintball accident,"

Heh heh. That sucks, man.

Every now and then the Times tries to troll the matrimonial-industrial complex by featuring an "off the beaten path" look at the weddings and relationships of drug addicts/dealers, homeless people, criminals, people who went to state school, and the like.
:-( :-(

[emmybean]

Shoulda played up the paint ball injury more.

[shopgirl07]

Crazy. And totally par for the course for the NYT. I once read an announcement where the groom resisted proposing to the bride for years because he thought she was "too old" for him. She was several years younger than he was.
