<p>Interesting that they give so much information about their parents. Is that a Southern thing? Around here it’s just: Brian, son of the late Jane and Joe Smith…</p>
<p>Loved it! I went quite a ways into their Guest Book and was very touched and pleased to see not even one negative comment, just lots of love and blessings. What a great way to start my day!</p>
<p>Sylvan- the info about the parents is not just a regional, Southern tradition.The New York Times has lengthy descriptions of the parents’ employment and professional accomplishments in their wedding announcements section.</p>
<p>Word, I noticed that, too, and wondered whether they delete negative comments. I can’t believe there’s not one idiot out there who would post something.</p>
<p>Another cool one - this elderly couple wed after nearly 40 years together. This is a long piece in the “Vows” section of the NYT - not sure if I can link to it here, since it mentions legislation. Sooo - Google (or go to the NYT site and search) “Jacques Beaumont and Richard Townsend”.
Very touching story.</p>
