Winchester continues its reputation as a wedding mecca in Virginia.
Linda Tripp, who caught the nation's attention during the Monica Lewinsky episode of President Clinton’s second term, came to the Winchester Circuit Clerk’s office to obtain a marriage license Dec. 30.
“I asked her if she was THE Linda Tripp and she said yes,” reported Will Gardner, deputy clerk of the court.
“I was curious about how many people could have that name,” Gardner said. He didn’t recognize her physically but did remember the name when he was typing up the license.
Gardner said she seemed a little anxious once he asked about her identity.
Both bride and groom, Dieter Hermann, were cordial to the staff at the clerk’s office and wished them a happy holiday before trekking across the street to the Valley Wedding Chapel at 201 E. Boscawen St.
Gary Patterson,co-owner of the chapel for 10 years with his wife, Sherry, did not recognize her nor the name. When he took the license to the clerk’s office, they told him who she was.
“When they brought it my attention, I thought ‘Wow.’”
She looked familiar to Patterson but he couldn’t figure out where he had seen her before.
The couple really wanted to get married and said they were in love, Patterson added.
“They came walking up when I was putting the closed sign on the door and asked if they were too late,” Patterson said.
They purchased the “stripped-down” model, $30 wedding, that takes about three minutes, Patterson said. There were no pictures and no one else came with them.
The couple said they will have a religious ceremony later in the year.
Sherry Patterson also didn’t recognize Tripp or even the name. “I write so many names that hers didn’t click.”
Sherry is planning an all out campaign to get celebrities to come to the chapel to be married. With the services available here for private planes, she feels it would be a great location for those wanting a quick marriage.
“We’re contacting a publicist in Beverly Hills to sell the idea of coming to Winchester to be married,” Sherry said.
Apparently you think Politicians are whiter than white.
Apparently, not murdering people makes a person “whiter than white” in your world, whatever that means.
OK so I ask questions about a situation a few years ago and I am putting on false front?
I look and the information provided, reassess the arguement THEN change my mind and publicy state it and I am putting ona false front?
That sounds a bit odd to me.
Acting the way you do does no good for your cause.
Insulting people that ask for information with an open mind is a poor way to act
Actually, Monica was pretending to be HER friend, all the while working on Linda to lie to the Grand Jury to save Clinton's butt. She resorted to death threats, even.
Linda spent hours trying to convince Monica to save herself from Clinton's lies and bull$---, not realizing that Monica was a willing accomplice.
Linda is a brave, honest and patriotic woman. I wish her all the happiness in the world in her new life.

Would you care to rephrase this?
I KNOW NOW!
Apparently changing my mind and educating myself is a bad thing on this board!
I ask some questions, get some answers then get insulted by a bunch of people.
Calm down, Sweetie. lol
You'll see that I answered your post at #13. Most people read and comment as they start at the beginning.
I'm glad to have had the oppotunity to wish Linda well, I wasn't attacking you. Keep reading and thinking, it looks like you had no idea what hot bottons you were pushing. People here have supported Linda all the way through this. She's family to us. ;-)

Thanks for the post!
Everyone seems to be giving me a hardtime today without realising that I have learned a lot from this thread.
When all this was going on I was not living in the States and only heard bits and pieces from the Media.
I was also in an exam year so had little time for this.
All I knew was that Clinton was a dirty old man and Linda Tripp was bad.
So at least I got one thing right : )
You want to appear to be fair and balanced in the way you think - but that is not what is happening here.
President Bush has nothing to do with the sleaziness of Clinton.
Why are you bringing him up and comparing him in any way to the disgraced one?

John Goodman is to ugly to play her now.

............................................................
It seems normal to compare a current President with the previous one?
Please read all of my posts.
All I have said that I hold all politicians to be generally dishonest to varying degrees.
I like Bush because of his Foreign policy not because I think he is the most honest person in the world.
When I find a politician I trust I will let you know.
Cynicism is a healthy thing in politics.
So is COMMON SENSE!!!
So is COMMON SENSE!!!

Yes it would be nice. Thank you for trying!
Wow!
The libs were already measuring the rocks at Mt. Rushmore, until Linda Tripp came along and exposed the whole thing.
Think what could have happened if Clinton hadn't been exposed.
Yea, I hear the Chinese (in exchange for our nuclear technologies) were going to finance the addition to Rushmore. ;-)
Poor witless creature. You come in and give all these opinions on a subject that you admit you have little knowledge about. That is not using common sense.
Just a suggestion to think about...We are not responsible for educating you about politics or anything else. Do some research and keep your opinions and your mouth shut until you know what you are talking about.
If Linda is still around here I wish her much happiness and joy

You sincerity and politeness is exquisite!
It is a shame that instead of trying to help educate people you would prefer them to remain ignorant of the truth so you can insult them instead.
I am glad most people on this board do not follow this imbecilic and inane practice.
All I have done is ask questions.
People have answered them happily.
You come in at the end and troll at me.
Perhaps it is you that should go away and reconsider you opinions.
Thank you. Now go out and get some education about what you are talking about and then come back and impress us!
