Every once in a while, I wander over to the New York Times Weddings & Celebrations section on their website and I indulge myself in a few of the whimsical and romanticized weddings that their Vows writers cover. There is something so classic about the announcements that it feels like you are stepping back in time and reading a vintage newspaper. The announcements always mention the bride as the daughter of so-and-so, and the groom as the son of so-and-so as though they are regal and renowned. They talk about the bride and groom's childhoods, how they met, and their careers. It's all so romantic.
Today, I read about an artistic couple, Elizabeth Wood and Gabriel Nussbaum, who met at a film festival in the Hamptons, and now live in the West Village. Their home was once occupied by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. How cool is that? Even cooler is the fact that Wood and Nussbaum spent time in Louisiana donating their time and talent to children after Hurricane Katrina. Wood taught the children film, while Nussbaum taught theater. They created a documentary using footage the children shot. Shortly after, they were engaged and married in Amagansett, New York.
