    Hilarious. We got a 1. And it was only because Rob went to a niche prestige school (VMI).

    What a lowly, lowly NYT wedding announcement we would've had. :)

    "Nicknames that abide by the Chip/Skip/Trip rule ? "Chip" if he's named after his dad ("chip off the old block"), "Skip" if named for his grandfather ("skipped a generation"), or "Trip" if he's the third (also "Trey")"  - I never knew this!

    I gave us a 16.  

    Name- +2, we just don't use the "von". 

    Universities - 0, although I was surprised Nico didn't get points for going to school abroad or for doing some graduate work at NYU. 

    Parents - +1 his father is a doctor (of science)

    Tropes - +1, I don't entirely remember the night we met.  (and I may have given my number to another guy that night too) 

    Identifiers (0 because we weren't actually in the Times)

    Avocations- 0

    Locale- +5 - Greenwich, CT home town, +4, met in Darien, +2, church service in Vienna (not listed, but sure it counts, also honeymoon in France and we went to Cannes on our honeymoon.), +1 his parents are in Jupiter, FL.
