Allyn's Wedding

Today my second-cousin Allyn got married (for the second time) to an absolutely beautiful & fun & wonderful woman.

Not to get stuck on the wedding theme… but this is how I’d do it.

Nothing boring. No fancy readings. Engage the audience & get the formalities done… so you can wine, dine & dance! It was just a lot of fun. They are actors, and their wedding was a performance of true love. I’m so happy for them.

And we, the guests, had a lot of fun. My table was filled with interesting people from New York (including a Times reporter), and — according to cousin Nicky — I was “on fire.” We talked about work and social entrepreneurism, and (thanks to my big mouth) engaged in a heated & intellectual discussion about corporate social responsibility, Starbucks, brand identities & marketing.

Good God.
