And now the award for most cliches in a single Times article: (1) “I knew I was going to marry her.” (2) “I am so glad he came back into her life.” (3) “He was always ’that guy.’” (4) “You’ve been a light in my life.” (5) “You’re someone who cares about me for who I am.” (6) “I think I’m going to marry Calvin.” (7) “With the Louvre on one side, the Eiffel Tower on the other, Mr. Ford got down on one knee.” (8) “Two flower girls were in white with wreaths of flowers on their heads, much like those at the April wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.” (9) “Peter Duchin and his orchestra played two songs before dinner began.” And, last but not least, (10) “We knew it was supposed to happen.”
