Yes, he walked her down the aisle. Her little brother and sister were attendants.

Hopefully John will stay out of the public eye now, and Cate will have a quiet life with her new husband.

7. Looks like she will still be in the public eye...

Although, perhaps as part of philanthropy. But she is her mother's daughter. So, I expect she will be involved in political causes.


......Dr. Upham was raised in a Republican family. Friends joke that they knew the couple were serious when he decided to become an independent.

Ms. Edwards was practicing law in Washington until this year, when she left her firm to start the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation, which will provide volunteers to serve as mentors to disadvantaged college-bound students. The couple has suggested donations to the foundation as an alternative to gifts from traditional bridal registries.

The Edwardses had started another foundation and a computer learning lab for students after their son Wade — Cate’s older brother — was killed in a car crash in 1996 when he was 16.

And, yes, Mazel Tov to the two of them.

She's had a lot of loss in her life, and deserves some happiness.
