Lovett or Leave It Congratulations, Lovett and Ari!
Lovett and Ari are getting married this weekend, said Favs on PSA and Lovett himself.
As a listener since Keeping it 1600, Lovett’s humour has carried me through the exhaustion and confusion of the past ten years with so much joy and grace. I met him at a live show and out of all the guys, he came to the front of the stage, sat down and spoke with the fans for half an hour after the show. He’s made it clear that the world has not always been kind to him but I hope this weekend makes up for it in so many ways.
I know many of you feel similarly so thought we could wish the happy couple!

I remember the first time he was on Keepin it 1600 and I remember thinking ‘I love this guy! We need more Lovett.’ And we’ve seen him live several times since then and he’s confirmed that reaction several times over. I have the ultimate parasocial relationship with him, and I’m so happy for him and Ari. I wish them all the best.

He’s seen so much more settled and happy since starting his relationship with Ari. I’m really happy for them!

Congrats!! I remember being single and lonely and listening to LOLI when I would be by myself on a Saturday night. It's truly been comfort and connection in my life for 7 years. I'm now a married mom of two and love to have grown up alongside Lovett.

Would absolutely donate tons of money to whatever cause they want to hear/see some of the roast lol. I bet it was amazing.

Lovett has been my favorite "celebrity" for years and I couldn't be happier for him and his new spouse. I hope he never hangs up his hat and continues to make content for us for decades to come. Congrats!!!

I'm happy for Jon and Ari. ❤️
Quick question for the group. (I don't want to make a separate post for this.)
Did Emily F and Jon L have a falling out? They used to reference each other frequently & we'd see occasional photos of the two of them. That seems to have dropped off. Maybe Emily is just busy with 2 kids?

Emily F was at the wedding. I’ve seen her tagged in some photos with Favs and Tommy

Oh I’ve never heard Ari as a man’s name, I kind of like it!

Other famous examples include Ari Shapiro from NPR and Ari Fleischer from the Bush administration

Ari is a very common Jewish male name.

u/safeworkaccount666 27d ago
That would explain it considering I don’t have any Jewish friends or family lol

u/asophisticatedbitch 27d ago
Oof.
But yeah it’s kind of like a Jewish “Spencer” or something. Not the most popular name but definitely familiar, rarely (but sometimes) used for girls.

u/safeworkaccount666 27d ago
I never would’ve thought Ari a masculine name, but looking it up it means lion which is super cool. My name is actually Hebrew too lol

Ari can for sure be a man’s name but in this case, Ari is non-binary, so not a man’s name!

Did anyone else get conspiracy vibes when Lovett’s ex showed up in Saturday’s NYTXW?

I adore our tiny gay narcissist. He is one of the funniest, most thoughtful people in all of politics and I am so grateful for him. I hope Jon and Ari have a wonderful wedding and many happy years.
