Clinton to Perform Weiner Wedding
The New York Times ^ | July 9, 2010 | staff

Posted on 07/10/2010 12:26:48 AM PDT by Cincinna

Bill Clinton is not giving away his daughter Chelsea’s hand in marriage for another three weeks. But he is going to get a little practice at the altar on Saturday, when he officiates at the wedding of Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The ceremony will be at Oheka Castle in Huntington, N.Y., in the early evening.

Matt McKenna, a Clinton spokesman, told The Associated Press that Mr. Clinton would conduct the ceremony and was authorized to do so, but did not elaborate. Aides to Mr. Weiner, who represents Queens and Brooklyn, declined to comment.

Mr. Weiner, 45, has been a longtime ally of Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Weiner, who is Jewish, has also been considered one of the most eligible bachelors on Capitol Hill. Ms. Abedin, 34, who grew up in Saudi Arabia and is Muslim, was once featured in a Vogue fashion spread.

The two have been dating for about two years, and announced their engagement last summer, not long after Mr. Weiner decided not to mount another run for mayor of New York.

Don’t worry, Anthony. Love, honor and obey is a wink, wink phrase.

“actually is this all a joke?”

No, it is not a joke. It was on the news yesterday. I was a tad surprised to hear that Anthony Weiner wasn’t having a Jewish wedding, now I find out who the bride is that explains that.

I’m not sure how Clinton is authorized to perform the ceremony though. I’ve never heard of another pres doing this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the pres could do that, but not sure you’d retain that authority.

Maybe Bill is a member of some mail order church that makes you a rev.

It’s actually a very strange story.

The jokes make more sense than the facts!

A mixed religion marriage, so clergy is out. Democrats are involved, respect for the Rule of Law is out, so no judge either. It makes sense to have an impeached president who lost his law license perform this wedding.

If she ends up looking like that... this boy will need some help. Maybe he can gouge his eyes out, when the time comes.

The jokes just write themselves.
Don't they though?

Only people who do not recognize the sacredness of wedding vows could ask a person like Bill Clinton to conduct the ceremony. What an obscenity.

You could knock me over with a feather with that information. Since he's 45 and unmarried, I'd assume that it's that winning personality and his golden tongue that have kept him from finding any woman who'd want him. [Huma, having the ability to withstand Hillary in close quarters, is probably well suited to withstand Weiner.]

How trashy of a life must you have to want Bill Clinton conduct your marriage ceremony?

You can't make this stuff up. I hear Tiger Woods is the best man; Mel Gibson and the New Black Panther Party will be conducting the Briss.

I recently attended a wedding in Pennsylvania where the bride and groom essentially married themselves, using a special type of marriage license which permits this. They had a friend “officiate.” Since he was not legally required, he needed no legal authority. I suspect New York has some similar procedure, so Clinton would not need any authority to preside.

Bingo! Sham marriage to quash the Beast’s lesbo taint for her 2012 candidacy.

If Hillary wins look for Huma to be on her staff and Wiener to be given a gravy Admin. job.
