I got this video from Andrew Sullivan's blog, and while it surely sets a new high bar in the realm of "life as a romantic comedy musical," the cynic in me can't help wanting to tell the groom: Dude - Talk about a hard act to follow...!

Billy's Books
CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost
Judith Lewis Mernit and I both contributed essays to this book, along with Jane Smiley, Thomas McGuane, Anne Lamott and a bunch of other famous and non-famous writers. Edited by Barbara Abercrombie, it's available on Amazon for a mere 10 bucks and change, and all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.

I'd be interested to know how this Isaac guy put all of this together, and how long it took.
Incidentally, here is a go-big proposal that actually involves a rom-com:

hey Billy,
The romantic in me is also a little saddened,that there isn't anything like a private moment anymore.
Posted by: Judith Duncan | June 02, 2012 at 06:50 PM
Thanks, Rob - pretty funny stuff.
Judith: This is one of those OMG synchronicity moments, as I just finished reading a spec screenplay (meaning, literally one minute ago) about a guy who totally screws up his wedding because he's an indie filmmaker who tried to integrate his real wedding into the movie he's been making. And your comment is totally, like, the subtext of this script!
And aside from that, the romantic in me kind of agrees with you, too.

they all seem to be having a great moment but it's nice to see more people share my dislike of this clip.
too much "look at me! let's be youtube stars! i'm not even really singing."
yuck.
