Bill Clinton is not giving away his daughter Chelseas 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.
Only in the bazarro world of Rats could this statement be made.
“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!
So he will officiate for A. Weiner who loves a Huma....
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.

Maybe he's a notary democ.

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.
Why is this reminding me of.......

Will someone post the famous freak show photo of this Minelli wedding quartet? PLEASE?

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.
Her name will be Huma Weiner, how awful.
Just kind of seems a natural for Clinton doesn't it?
A Jew marrying a Muslim? Had to read that one twice..
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.

Ding!
