The Knicks win their first championship in decades and somehow my fiancée and I end up on the injury report.
We had our Manhattan City Hall marriage ceremony booked months ago. Family is flying in from San Francisco and Chicago, including little kids, and both of our families planned to attend the ceremony and take photos afterward.
Four days before the wedding, we find out we’re going head to head with a Knicks championship parade, security zones, barricades, road closures, and hundreds of thousands of fans.
To be clear: we love the Knicks. We were at Game 3 of the Finals. We’re thrilled for the city.
But after months of planning, we had to scramble to find an officiant, move the ceremony to Prospect Park, and rework a day that both of our families had been planning around for months.
Our wedding season ended earlier than Boston’s.
Amazing problem for NYC to have. Tough week for it to be our wedding week.
And now we’ve somehow managed to miss both our City Hall wedding and the parade.
Mayor Mamdani and our beloved New York Knicks, if you’re reading this, surely there’s a clause in the CBA covering collateral wedding damage.

@TheHeigan@curvigrl8@ashwindeshmukh That’s 🧢 for the average NYer. First and second level financial analysts with reputable IBs pull 100-175k. Ppl with avg jobs aren’t coming out ahead especially when you consider accrued net worth into the equation. Know plenty of people earning 80K in NY and own nothing.
@curvigrl8@ashwindeshmukh Lived in NY for 23 years and California for 5, now Michigan. They’ll throw 36K-48K a year in rent away to justify making an extra 30K a year and have zero equity their entire life. All to justify “being in the action.” Very rat race mentality, most locals from the 90s have left.
@BernieSanders The overlap of independents who voted Trump but would have preferred Sanders over Biden ignores the mirrored outrage politics both Bernie and Trump indulge in
@BernieSanders Your collectivist proposals and recent rhetoric are eerily similar to past communist leaders like Castro, yet you haven’t said a word about the squalor of Cuban people and other people repressed by their authoritarian governments for the sake of communism/socialism.
