Are we supposed to care about Taylor and Travis’s wedding? I suppose it took people’s minds off other things that have been nagging at us, but in the larger scheme of things, it’s not unlike a royal wedding—an event that draws outsized media coverage and allows the masses to drool over how the 1-percenters live.
Sure, I might be a bit envious about using Madison Square Garden as the venue, that Adam Sandler officiated, that they marry their fortunes together and will never want for anything. But that jealousy will fade quickly, because there are more pressing events and issues vying for our attention.
For some, it’s a pleasant distraction and a celebrity fix. For me, these or any nuptials don’t really belong in the multi-media sphere, are much ado about nothing, and I’m mystified by the attention paid them.
