This week's
hate read, one of the extended meet-cute wedding announcements we've come to love, contains this gem of an opening salvo: "Jennifer Beck is someone who enjoys perfect outcomes, and she will do whatever it takes to make them happen." (
Exhibit A.) Guess she's probably upset about the impending Grexit. Or maybe that's a perfect outcome seeing as how a pied-à-terre in Athens will cost the equivalent of Papaya Dog with fries? I digress. More importantly, we have the honor at the Weekly Hate Read of our first guest post from
Raina Lipsitz covering Jennifer and Brian's just-so, precious invitation to hate:
Today's wedding announcement opens with the bride describing herself as "a bit controlling." Reader: she wasn't kidding! The fact that she wrote an insane multi-part document about the type of ring she wanted years before she was even engaged, plus her #humblebrag about always dating lawyers & hedge fund managers, were already grounds for license denial, but the real kicker is the correction the Times was forced to issue: "A previous version of this article and a caption in the accompanying slideshow misstated the number of items [the bride] collected to decorate the wedding. She collected more than 250 bottles and glass jars, not 100 bottles. The previous version also misstated the location of the bar in which the couple met. It was in Manhattan, not Brooklyn." Manhattan can have you, sweetie! #Denied
