On Saturday, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack got married to
Congresswoman Mary Bono in a private ceremony held at the Richmond Inn in Asheville, North
Carolina.
35 members of the Mack and Bono families, including Mack’s
children and parents, attended the ceremony. Bono's father Clay Whitaker lives
in Asheville
and a spokeswoman for Mack had said in November that’s why the town was
selected for the marriage.
Mary Bono and Connie Mack dated for two years and they announced
their engagement to the public on September 7.
Mary Bono is the widow of late singer-turned-politician

election was held to fill the seat left vacant by her late husband. Mary Bono,
who represents California's
45th Congressional District, serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Connie Mack, 40, was elected to his second term in the
United States Congress in November of 2006 to represent Florida's 14th Congressional District. He is

cancer prevention advocate Priscilla Mack and grandson of Connie Mack, the
manager and owner of baseball's Philadelphia Athletics. Connie Mack currently
