Wokester wedding: New York Times puts out its most ridiculous 'Vows' wedding announcement ever

Do lefties fall in love and marry like normal people do?

Well, not hip, elite lefties, the kind who start NGOs or who might party with guys like Ezra Klein.

The New York Times put out this elaborate wedding story, about what happens when the leftist elites fall in "love" and marry each other:

"When Rachel Kelly Atcheson and Sean Adrian McElwee first met at a West Village coffee shop in June 2022, it was too tense to be a meet-cute. Ms. Atcheson — at the time, the senior assistant to Mayor Eric Adams — was planning to chew out Mr. McElwee, a pollster with whom she shared a mutual friend.

Mr. McElwee was conducting polling on behalf of Protect Our Future super PAC, which was backed by Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto billionaire later convicted of fraud. She was angry about political spending in general, including the more than $11 million that Protect Our Future put toward Carrick Flynn, a long-shot congressional candidate in Oregon.

As a proponent of effective altruism, Ms. Atcheson felt strongly that the money could have gone to charity."

Had enough? She likes to tell other people how they should spend their money. And for that matter, what they should eat.

"Ms. Atcheson, 33, is a food policy wonk who became deputy director in Mr. Adams’s office of food policy. She left the administration at the end of 2024 to start a nonprofit, Food Policy Pathways, for which she is executive director. She was raised in Washington, D.C., and graduated with a bachelor’s in philosophy from Boston University."

Naturally, she's been a vegan since high school. And you can bet she made him a vegan, too, as the story delicately puts it.

The pair shacked up together for a while and then had a city hall

They deserve each other. I’m sure they’ll be very happy making other people miserable.

Wow. Is things like this that make me wonder sometimes if I am indeed living on another planet.

Ms. Atcheson, 33, is a food policy wonk who became deputy director in Mr. Adams’s office of food policy. She left the administration at the end of 2024 to start a nonprofit, Food Policy Pathways, for which she is executive director.

Somewhere along her path, she learned of the great Fed.gov-funded, NGO/Non-Profit grift that was taking place in Washington DC, and wanted her share of the $$$.

I hope DOGE was able to destroy her dreams, if even temporarily.

when she was alive many years ago, my mother would watch the wedding announcements, and analyze the names for any she might recognize, as public wedding announcements themselves were a sign of good parentage, breeding and belonging to a certain class

These two have followed that same tradition, and have the proper Anglo/Scots, WASP names to match.

Yet after that, “tradition” goes completely off the rails with these two

Its a sign of what has happened to America’s elites.

No way she could get a real job, so she starts an NGO to con donors into giving her NGO enough to fund her a nice salary running the NGO.
