Weddings/Celebrations Announcement: Joseph Biden, Barack Obama

[musette_sf]

(for those of you who, like me, has amongst her guilty pleasures the savoring each Sunday of the Weddings and Celebrations part of the NYT Style section - especially each week's featured couple, where seemingly no detail of their courtship is considered to be TMI for public consumption - i LOVED this piece!!!! a perfect parody!)

Joseph Biden, Barack Obama

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. and Barack Hussein Obama affirmed their partnership at the 56th Presidential Inauguration, a swearing-in ceremony that occurs on the West Side of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Reverend Rick Warren, a California evangelical megapastor, delivered the invocation while Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Stevens oversaw the oaths of office.

Mr. Biden, 66, is the Vice President of the United States of America. He was a six-term senator from Delaware who, at age thirty, became the fifth-youngest senator in U.S. history. He graduated from the University of Delaware and received a law degree from Syracuse University. He also served as an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law where he taught a seminar on constitutional law.

He is the son of the late Joseph R. Biden, Sr., a car salesman, and Jean Biden of Claymont, Delaware.

Mr. Obama, 47, is the President of the United States of America. He was a first-term senator from Illinois and was the only African-American member of the Senate. He is a Columbia University graduate and received his law degree magna cum laude from Harvard where he was the editor-in-chief and president of the Harvard Law Review. He also taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School.

His parents are the late Barack Obama Sr., a goat herder and senior economist for the Kenyan Ministry of Finance, and the late Ann Dunham Soetoro, a cultural anthropologist.

Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama met in the Capitol Building in 2004 where they both worked as Senators for the Democratic Party.

...And while Mr. Obama enjoyed Mr. Biden's company, the Delaware senator was totally smitten. "We connect on such a deep level," Mr. Biden added "that our bond feels more heart-warming than 'Rocky' or receiving a kitten on Christmas."
