Human nature is funny. We are so easily distracted by things like our cell phones and our computer screens and nuclear warnings that turn out to be a false alarm that we are missing the life happening right in front of our very faces.
Like, Amy Schumer’s marriage to a man named Chris Fischer.
Surprise!
Schumer married Fischer on Tuesday in front of people like Jennifer Lawrence, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Larry David – a casual crowd if I ever did hear of one.
Schumer shared the photos of the wedding on her Instagram Thursday.
Who is Chris Fischer? Great question. He is a man with whom Schumer has been seen in public approximately two times throughout the duration of the relationship. He is a chef who lives on Martha’s Vineyard and now he is Amy Schumer’s husband.
That is his official new identity.
Congratulations Amy! Nice to meet you Chris! Welcome to the family.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
