As the well-connected and status-obsessed know, there’s no greater pre-marital bliss than gracing the New York Times’ wedding page.
GW alumni are more likely than Georgetown University graduates to be featured in the coveted New York Times wedding section, according to Wedding Crunchers, a searchable database of two decades worth of prenuptial announcements.
The finding, which was reported by the Washington City Paper this week, includes 80,000 announcements since 1981. The site allows users to sort by any word in the announcement – such as college, degree, hometown or age.
You’re also more likely to wind up on the page if you’re living in New York, not living in Anacostia or working for a senator.
GW’s name has increasingly wound up on the wedding page since the 1990s, according to the site – which City Paper speculates is the result of increased enrollment or its skyrocketing tuition attracting students from society’s upper echelon.
Or, GW students are just cooler.
