Everyone loves a June wedding, right?
The warm weather, the fragrant flowers, the bride's beautiful gown, the spreadsheets, the questionnaires, the breakout sessions ...
Wait ... what?
Welcome to wedding ceremonies as held by the wokest of the woke left.
Yesterday, The New York Times tried to pay homage to the Manhattan nuptials of two of the leftist elite, former Eric Adams senior staffer Rachel Kelly Atcheson and Democrat pollster and lobbyist Sean Adrian McElwee.
Of course, the two were not married in a church. They officially tied the knot at the Manhattan City Clerk's office. But it was at the reception that the event turned into the nightmarish wedding from Hell.
Byron York captured the key details about the reception in a screenshot from The Times:

Good Lord. Just the guest list alone would make any normal person want to schedule a much more pleasant root canal surgery for that day. Plant-based nonprofit employees, alternative protein venture capitalists, hedge fund managers, and lobbyists?
As the saying goes, they must be so much fun at parties.
But maybe our favorite part is the end, where guests had to answer a purity test questionnaire to attend, and a spreadsheet was shared of everyone who would be there, just to make sure there were no undesirables who could have snuck in. And, of course, who wants gifts on their wedding day? Wouldn't everyone much prefer to force the guests to write a one-page honorific on how wonderfully superior the happy couple is?
Yeah ... I chuckled at the line about the couple reading these letters during their honeymoon. But, hey ... they're Democrats ... they probably can't figure out anything better to do on their honeymoon, eh?
Atty Tom Dickinson (@AttyTMD) ~ What are "plant-based nonprofit employees?" Groot?
Groot character from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies.
No idea. We're still trying to figure out what 'alternative protein venture capitalists' are.
Rhett Bise (@herotransform8n) ~ I can honestly say I’d rather spend the day in jail than attend that wedding.
Doesn't this reception violate the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution or something?
KAP (@KPeikert) ~ Just another explanation of why conservatives are happier than liberals at every income level and every demographic category. These people are insufferable.
Virtually every study or research experiment run in the past several years confirms what we already know. Leftists are completely miserable, and they have absurdly high levels of mental illness.
Looking at this wedding reception from hell thrown by the leftist elite, it's not difficult to figure out why.
