NEW YORK TIMES WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS GONE HORRIBLY HILARIOUS

Going through this morning's New York Times, I suddenly remembered this wonderful NPR interview with Rob Baedeker, one of the authors of "Weddings of the Times," a parody of all of the somber and oh-so-staid wedding announcements published each Sunday in our nation's newspaper of record. Baedeker wrote the parodies along with other members of his comedy ensemble Kasper Hauser. One of my very favoritess:

Catherine Doyle and Alfred Park

Catherine Doyle married Alfred Park on Sunday evening at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton.

The bride, 26, graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown. The groom, 34, graduated summa cum laude from Brown. The bride's father, Eugene Doyle, graduated egregia cum laude from the University of Washington and his mother, Kate Doyle, graduated double platinum cum laude from Wayne State.

Her grandfather graduated the harder they cum laude from Texas A&M. Her uncle graduated cumma cumma cumma cumma cumma chameleon laude from the University of Colorado.

The bride's brother, Lewis Doyle, graduated pre-cum laude from the University of Stockholm.

The groom's father, Bruce, graduated cumfortably numb laude from Cal State Fullerton. The best man graduated cumpire strikes back laude from the College of Outer Space. The best man's grandfather graduated viagra cum laude from Hofstra.

If you have the time, be sure to listen to the full interview. Baedeker's reading of the announcements is wonderfully smooth and ridiculously funny.
