Annoying Nuptials

Every Sunday the New York Times posts a video on their website about a couple profiled in their Weddings section. It's no secret that the couples profiled in the Times are privledged in some way. And since I find most overly privledged people out of touch with reality, their wedding videos are particularly annoying.

This one takes the cake.

Everything had been great except for that black silk shirt he was wearing. To Ms. Griffin, an interior designer who lives and works in Harlem, it looked like something guys wore when “Miami Vice” was popular. She hated it and wasn’t shy in telling him. Oh yes, and then there was that bit at the end of the evening when her fear of commitment got the better of her and she said they should just be friends.

Still, she was disappointed when he left right after that on a sailing trip, and didn’t call.

She offends the guy by ridiculing his clothes, tells him that they should just be friends, and then is surprised when he doesn't call?

Really?

If you watch the video (and you should if you enjoy laughing at people) you'll find the 40-something Elaine Griffin to be as annoying as a 20-something at the mall with her parents credit cards. If I could have reached into the screen on my laptop I would have smacked her.
