Jane Lynch marries a Smithie in Western Mass

Isn't this a lovely picture? It appeared in The New York Times online Wedding/Celebrations page accompanying the marriage announcement of Jane Lynch and Dr. Lara Embry. Can't you just picture Joyce Wishnia making the marriage proposal? Oh, wait, you don't have to picture it, you can see for yourself!

The marriage took place at the Blue Heron restaurant in Sunderland, Mass., which is located in the Smith-Mount Holyoke lesbian vortex in the Northampton region of Western Massachusetts. And let us not ignore that the vortex includes the hill town where Rachel Maddow and her girlfriend Susan Mikula spend their TV-less weekends driving to the dump in Rachel's truck.

Lara Embry, the new spouse of Jane Lynch, is a former denizen of the Western Mass lesbian vortex. She's a 41-year-old Smith College alumna. (And as we know, choosy lesbians choose girlfriends who are graduates of The Sisters...) She is now a clinical psychologist who told the Times that, when she first met Lynch, she was"basically ignorant" of Lynch's career as a film and television actress. Um, what kind of lesbian does not know Joyce Wishnia?? In any case, best wishes to the newlyweds!
