I guess I’ve never thought of weddings as being a big deal. Marriages, yes. But not all the Pomp and Circumstances involved with a formal wedding. My sister’s each had two very expensive weddings followed by divorces. Pretty much a waste of money. And didn’t have much meaning in their lives apparently. I was 10 years younger than them, so that was my first impression of weddings.

But I can understand the importance to some. And if it gets the couple off on the right foot, then that’s good. Plus I know a tremendous amount of energy and money go into planning this.

Perhaps both can happen. He can be flown to or from the vote and still be involved in most of the wedding. I can’t believe this wedding was planned for exactly the same time as the vote and he didn’t bring it up before this? McConnell could have skewed the vote by a couple hours if he had known.

Anyway I have to think of the founding fathers. Their personal lives we’re put at quite a risk. They sacrificed much. Congressman today are not cut from the same cloth.

IDEA!!! Use SKYPE. He can still walk her down the aisle and give her away. Unique, but hey, it’ll work.

Montana’s Republican Sen. Steve Daines now says he will be able, if needed, to help secure the confirmation this weekend for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — even his daughter is getting married Saturday, the same day the vote is scheduled.

Fox News originally reported that Daines would walk his daughter down the aisle no matter what, even if that meant a failed vote for the GOP majority.

But late Thursday, Fox reported that Daines had spoken to Kavenaugh, saying he had made “arrangements to get him across the finish line as needed.”
