I Want What They Have: Taika Waititi and Rita Ora
Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when you’re gawking at it from the outside. In this column, we’ll be examining the celebrity couples that give us hope for our own romantic futures and trying to learn what we can from their well-documented bonds.
If there is one thing I truly love in this world, it’s a surprise wedding. Go off! Elope! Tie the knot in a chill, romantic, fun way that does not require me to spend half my monthly rent on a blender! (Just kidding: if you’re my friend and you’re eloping, I’m still getting you a present—and in fact, you’ll get a much finer class of gift in exchange for not making me wear heels.) It seems the latest celebrity couple to tie the knot in an impromptu fashion is Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, who, according to multiple reports, recently married “in an intimate ceremony in London.” Chic!
“A big, showbiz-style bash is planned to celebrate, but don’t expect to see it being flogged to the highest-bidding magazine,” an unnamed source (hmm) told The Sun of the Waititi-Ora nuptials, and while I respect the couple’s privacy, I also kind of want them to flog their big wedding to the highest-bidding magazine, because I have a feeling these two would throw a hell of a party.
I knew I was a fan of the Waititi-Ora relationship when I saw that the two got engaged in almost “simultaneous” proposals. This is extreme lesbian energy—said with deep respect—and honestly, not since the pair’s brief entanglement with Tessa Thompson have I respected them so much.
While making out with Tessa Thompson is always a laudatory achievement, what I really liked about the Taika-Rita-Tessa kiss was Taika’s response: “I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick. And also, is it that big a deal? No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It’s fine.” He basically told us all to get a life, and honestly, we deserved it. (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Ora was forced to come out as bi after she received heat online for her song “Girls,” and we really should have left her alone after that. Let people kiss whatever consenting adults they want to kiss!)
