Guest list for Crist wedding is hush-hush
ST. PETERSBURG —The governor's father? A shoo-in. Mayor Rick Baker? Unclear. The man who trims Charlie Crist's hair? Probably not.
For all the hubbub about the governor's marriage to Carole Rome, much of the chatter is about what is not known — especially, who's going to the wedding, and who's not.
The Dec. 12 nuptials will take place at First United Methodist Church, where the governor and his family have worshiped for years. The ceremony is black-tie optional, with a reception afterward at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort. Invitations began arriving last week. They are cream and pale pink, printed in Copperplate script, and sealed with a capital "C" affixed to satin ribbon.
An enclosure card reads: "No gifts please, due to Florida law." The governor is required to report presents thought to be worth more than $100, except those from family members. (story here)
