Globe celebrates Youklis engagement, suggests it won't last
Is today's Globe article on the
future Mrs. Kevin Youklis a case study in credulity or a masterpiece of understated snark?
You
be the judge. The headline writer concluded that the story--written by
Mark Shanahan--was about how Enza Sambataro will provide a "strong
foundation" for Youklis. But the piece was packed with details that
suggest otherwise. Some examples:
--"The wedding will be Sambataro's second since her five-month fling with
[Ben] Affleck ended in 2004. She was briefly married to a South Shore car
dealer with whom she had a child."
--"Describing herself as "wild" in high school and "far from a
cheerleader" in college - she took courses at Boston College but did
not graduate - Sambataro admits she used to be more madcap than mature. "The
reason I don't drink anymore is because I did all my partying under the
age of 21," she says. "Among my friends, I would always be the first
one to do something over the top and crazy."--On a recent afternoon, while the couple was sitting in the kitchen
eating lunch with [her son] Mikey, Sambataro was asked when she and Kevin are
getting married. "It's a day-to-day thing," she said, laughing.
"Saturday, we weren't getting married because Kevin had too many
margaritas. But it's back on now. Right, Kev?"
Good luck, kids.
