NYT can't help itself

Here is one of those New York Times “Vow”articles where they talk about some famous or near-famous people getting married. They talk about the ceremony, but they also talk about the romance that led up to the blessed day.

In this case, the victims/subjects are Ardin Myrin (MadTV) and her comedy writer, groom Dan Martin.

What struck us (in addition to the oddly detailed and personal romance story, of course) was the caption under the pic at the top. The photo depicts Myrin at her wedding, clutching a microphone at her Dec. 30 wedding at Round Barn Farm in Waitsfield, VT. It’s the happiest day of her life and the 140 in attendance are most likely joined in that delirium. The caption reads:

The bride, a comedian, takes advantage of a captive audience.

We wish it were an ironic cap.
