Our Congressional Representative, the Honorable Gabrielle Giffords wed her long time love, spaceman/Commander Mark Kelly yesterday at the pumpkin patch in Amado. The chupa was “vibed” in by a Mariachi band. The bride was resplendent in a borrowed Vera Wang gown. They wanted a light eco-footprint of a wedding. I just wanted to know whose Wang? There was a four man honor guard with crossed sabers. Chuck was disappointed that she didn’t ask him. His saber is in the garage. Just needs a bit of a polish. Of course, I’m not sure how he would look in his uniform since he let his hair grow out.
They had a quite courtship. First of all, they met in China. She as an AZ State Legislator and he as an astronaut. Their first date was to the Arizona State Prison in Florence. Yeah, that’s what I said, too! First kiss was at the Club Congress (in the Congress Hotel) downtown. That’s where John Dillinger stayed when he was hiding out in Tucson. Maybe they had dinner there after touring the prison? Commander Kelly proposed to Gabby at the Naval Academy during Homecoming. He lives in Houston and she lives in DC and Tucson.
So, Mark and Gabby, best wishes, long life and love.
