Sen. Cory Booker has married his fiancé Alexis Lewis in Washington, DC, less than three months after announcing their engagement in an Instagram post.

Only close family were present as the New Jersey Senator, 56, tied the knot on Saturday in an interfaith ceremony blessed by both a pastor and a rabbi — Lewis is Jewish and Booker Christian, according to the New York Times.

The venue’s location wasn’t disclosed for privacy reasons.

On Monday, the pair legally wed at the US District Court in Newark, where Booker rose to prominence as mayor — with their parents as witnesses.

The couple celebrated afterward with Italian pastries and a vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cake to fit Booker’s vegan diet.

The pair were introduced in May 2024 by a mutual friend known for matchmaking, the Times reported.

Ms Lewis, 38, who was living in LA at the time, went on a blind date with Booker while visiting family in DC.

“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers”

Of course, that only applies to Christians, so I suppose Booker is in the clear.

Gay black men will never win national elections.

I thought he was a homo!!! Oh well.

It passes the half + 7 rule.

[Bon of Babble]

Maybe he's trying to deflect (I assumed also he was gay, not that that would hurt his political career, if anything in this day and age being openly gay would enhance it).

Gay black men will never win national elections.

You either forgot your sarcasm tag, or you forgot Obama.

Everyone’s first thought.

Well way to go Spartacus.

Why is he wearing his wedding ring on his middle finger?
Does it signify something?

“Half plus seven rule”

Does that mean my next one can be 42 1/2?

38 years old ? She’s only a child!

He’s only woth about 80K it won’t last long.

If you want to invite yourself to that party, have at it.

[PAR35]

To quote a line from Caberet, she doesn’t look Jewish to me.

Did Cory buy a beard for a Presidential run?

[T.B. Yoits]

In places like New Jersey, due to the immigrant population, that the politicians are pressured having fake marriages to cover up their sexual orientation.

Former Governor Jim McGreevey had not one but two ex-beards.

A new beard may be stylish for a while, but inevitably everyone will realize that it just doesn’t look right on you.
