Houston Mayor Weds Her Longtime Partner In California
Source: Associated Press
Houston Mayor Annise Parker has married longtime partner Kathy Hubbard in a sunset ceremony Thursday at a private residence in Palm Springs, Calif., Parker's office announced.
A small group of family and friends, including Parker's mother and Hubbard's sister, attended the service.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Paul Fromberg, rector of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco. The couple chose Thursday as their wedding date because it was the 23rd anniversary of the beginning of their relationship.
"This is a very happy day for us," Parker said in her statement. "We have had to wait a very long time to formalize our commitment to each other. Kathy has been by my side for more than two decades, helping to raise a family, nurture my political career and all of the other ups and downs and life events that come with a committed relationship. She is the love of my life, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life married to her."

(49,988 posts)I know someone who is pretty right wing, that loves to spend her winters in Houston. Will have to gently (or not so gently) ask her what she thinks of her sinning Mayor.
