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.

You may be right... or he may have one of those accredited man of the cloth certificates. There are ways I guess.

“Sham wedding”

Is this a signal that Hill is going to run for prez?

Former President. Perhaps special permission from the Governor. I am sure that part is totally legit.

In NY lots of people may perform marriages. Mayors, County clerks and the like.

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.

If it were a Jewish wedding, she'd have to behead him on their way out of the synagogue.

Thanks for the ping. Her dress is nice - not my style, but nice. Of course, you’d sort of expect that from Oscar de la Renta! :)

[DollyCali]

nice looking couple. thanks for ping

They no doubt both rejected their prior faith walk & have become Christians (or was the Scientologists?)

side note: she needs to eat more!

Give them each a glass of tomato juice and use them as thermometers.

It's funny...Huma uses Oscar De La Renta but Big MO won't!

If Huma ages like her mother, well, Weiner got the wrong end of the deal!

[mrs tiggywinkle]

in agreement.
