Heard about this blessed event on a podcast this morning while running so I looked it up. It was interesting to read what was left in and left out in various versions of the article (Huff Post, LA Times, and this from the local NBC affiliate:

Here are a couple of interesting points:
[The Bride], an undergraduate in Middle East studies at Hunter College

So she's in college. Hunter College appears to be part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Tuition is $5100 per year for NY residents and $13,800 for non-residents. Doesn't that alone put her in the 1%?


The two went on dates at nearby eateries and spent time at the park discussing politics and their shared Muslim faith

Clearly, they have free time since they are occupying, but they also have funds since they are going on dates and apparently paying for food.


[The Groom] told the News he planned to find a job and settle in New York with [The Bride]

The groom has a degree and was applying to Law School, now he's going to use that degree and find a job to settle down with his new wife. Doesn't that kind of imply there are jobs available? So what's he occupying for again?





Ahh, the precious snowflakes!
