<p>I find this completely disgusting. Things like this happen, but who but an absolute narcissist would flaunt it like this? Why does the NYT enable her?</p>

<p>I think that goes for both of them. He was married… Blech…</p>
<p>Enable them to get publicity, yes, but the NYT doesn’t put a glowing stamp of approval on them either. They are showing us all who/what they are. </p>
<p>My impression is that she is the one who wanted the publicity. Imagine how painful this must be for his ex-wife, who was probably blindsided, and his kids? </p>
<p>I guess they don’t fear karma in the least.</p>
<p>Perhaps true love will find his heart again.</p>
<p>Right, electronblue. Doesn’t every mother tell that to every daughter? " If he cheated on his first wife with you, he will cheat on you, too."</p>
<p>I wanted to throw up when he said “During my divorce, there were days I could hardly get out of bed.” Wow. Poor guy. Then she blathers on that “moving forward as a family unit is worth fighting for.” </p>
<p>Ex-wife is clearly the winner here. Those other two deserve each other.</p>
<p>They don’t say, they pronounce. </p>
<p>Things like this do happen - often. But I agree that it is pretty crass to make a public attempt to romanticize it with all the analysis and verbosity. Seems like they have something to prove to someone.</p>
<p>I reacted somewhat the same way when I read the NYT story about Chris Kimball’s third marriage:
<a href=“All the Ingredients Were There - The New York Times”>All the Ingredients Were There - The New York Times;
<p>I will never understand people. Why would you want the world to know that you found your true love when you were married to someone else - someone you had children with? I don’t think many people will watch this and think, “ohhh, how sweet,” which I imagine is the point of little films about how couples meet. This one is not a day-brightener.</p>
<p>My take: their ethics are questionable and so is their taste.</p>
<p>Something a little “off” with her as well - whats with the bubbles?</p>
<p>That’s to demonstrate how innocent it all is, HarvestMoon.</p>
<p>I didn’t see a comment section on the page with the video. I’m wondering what the opinions were of the other viewers.</p>
<p>Watch this one! It will take the bad taste away:</p>

<p>This reminds me of a truly unfortunate wedding speech I witnessed several years ago. Prior to getting together with the groom, the bride had been in a long-term (over 10 year) relationship with Man 1, whom she left for Man 1’s best friend (the groom). Man 1, best friend, and bride were all part of a close knit group of friends and despite everything Man 1 managed to stay friends with best friend and bride. A couple of years later, bride and best friend get married. At the wedding, the bride gives an impassioned speech/toast in which she says that she had fallen in love with groom at first sight, but they didn’t get together for ten years. She also stressed that the groom was the only man she had ever loved. Man 1, who had been totally civil through the whole break up, was present at the wedding ( as were all of his friends) and it was utterly humiliating. The bride was basically saying that she had been in love with Man 1’s best friend the whole time she was living with Man 1 and that she had never loved Man 1 despite living with him in a long-term relationship. She had been a close friend of mine before then but I never looked at her the same way after.</p>
<p>^^^^^^Amazing lack of tact. </p>
<p>Yes, and why was it necessary for her to make a speech at her own wedding, anyway?</p>
<p>That was incredible, NYMomof2! What a beautiful couple and such a pleasure to watch them together.</p>
