For the record, comedy’s most beloved anti-heroine never stopped being a feminist. Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon dithered and dawdled so many years to commit to marriage that she almost convinced herself she doesn’t care, but recovered herself at the last minute and stepped to the altar in a full Princess Leia get-up. This marriage, then, is not for nerds or feminists or even fans of the show: this marriage is for the Liz Lemon in all of us, the voice that tells you that you deserve what you really want even if it embarrasses a teensy little part of you. After fighting through her misgivings and finally admitting to herself that maybe she does want the whole white-dress-hair-done treatment for her special day after all, Liz Lemon’s marriage is a rallying cry for people the world over to really examine how much we get in our own way when our fears distract us from what we truly want.
