Alright, here is a new, official, weekly feature of Hooray For Anything-- the NY Times Wedding Announcement of the Week. As anyone who reads the Times knows, the wedding announcement section, otherwise known as Jews Getting Married, is oftentimes the best part of the paper as it usually rich couples with even richer parents who are full of themselves enough to announce it to the world in the Paper of Record.

Anyways, the winning couple, heretofore known as the Cum Laudes, win for various reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they are either all broke right now, will about to be, or should be, all excepting the father who is too busy laundering money for drug dealers and CEO's looking for tax shelters to be in the poorhouse. Also, they win just for having the phrase "yachts department of an insurance subsidiary" listed in their announcement.

And here they go, the lovely Kathryn Bache & Christopher Lotz;

Kathryn Grace Bache, a daughter of Sara E. Davis and Stephen K. Bache, both of La CaƱada Flintridge, Calif., was married Saturday to Christopher Philip Lotz, a son of Wendy Lotz and Philip A. Lotz of New Canaan, Conn. The Rev. Kelly H. Rogers performed the ceremony at the Congregational Church of New Canaan, and Rev. Ken Kline Smeltzer, a minister of the Church of the Brethren, participated.

The bride and the bridegroom, both 22, met during their freshman year at New York University, from which they graduated, she cum laude and he magna cum laude.

Ms. Bache is keeping her name. She works in New York as an intern at Luntz, Maslansky Strategic Research, a market research unit of the Omnicom Group.

Her parents work in Pasadena, Calif. Her father is the owner of Bache Capital Management, an investment advisory firm, and her mother is a manager in the portfolio management department at a subsidiary of Legg Mason, the Baltimore investment management company.

Mr. Lotz works in New York as an underwriter-in-training in the yachts department of an insurance subsidiary of A.I.G. Until this month he was a research assistant in the political science department at New York University.

His father is an owner and the chairman of Juniperus Capital, a hedge fund in Bermuda.
