Here at OBABL, we love perusing The New York Times’ Sunday Weddings & Vows section. In fact, it inspired us to create our own announcement page to celebrate the unions of our readers. (You may submit your engagement or wedding announcement here.)

Have you ever noticed how often black lawyers are featured on The New York Times Weddings page? Well, we have. On any given Sunday, about 5 percent of the couples featured are comprised of a black partner, but easily 50 percent of that blessed 5 will be attorneys. This is quite a skew considering less than 2 percent of African Americans are attorneys! We understand The Times interest in them. Revisiting some of those profiled over the last year or so, we find them to be quite fabulous!

One of our favs was the union of Jennifer Nicole Wynn and Damian Williams. Here is a snippet from their profile, though the paper made a clear oversight in neglecting to mention that Mr. Williams was a Power 100 Honoree.
