WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Fred Thompson ( news, bio, voting record), a star of Hollywood movies and real-life political dramas, played the leading man again on Saturday. This time it was at his own wedding.
Taking a big step toward life after politics, the retiring Republican senator married political and media specialist Jeri Kehn in a small, private ceremony in Naperville, Ill.
Thompson, 59, has known Kehn, 35, since they met on the Fourth of July in 1996. The couple is departing this weekend for France for a honeymoon.
