love in New York

My new favorite site: the "Vows" section of the New York Times.

Of course the NYT is only going to pick unions that are interesting, otherwise people wouldn't read them; with brides and bridegrooms who by themselves would make good profiles. I know not all marriages and the courtships leading up to them are as magical and destined-to-be as these sound. And I would like to see how the marriages actually turn out, after the wedding.

Still. Each story gets to me. I'm surprised how so many of the guys in the profiles are just as sweet and shy and silly about crushes and romance as the woman. And most have gone through failed relationships and disappointing one-sided crushes, and feel like they'll never find the real thing. But then gloriously, they do! And then I get teary and start daydreaming about wedding dresses and china patterns. I'm such a girl.
