John McCain gains a new Daughter...



An All-American wedding! Arizona Senator John McCain's son, Jack McCain, wed Renee Swift on Saturday, June 1 in San Francisco, Calif., a spokesperson for the senator confirms to Us Weekly.

Jack, 27, is a Navy lieutenant and helicopter pilot. His bride, 29-year-old Swift, is a San Francisco Bay Area native and a captain in the United States Air Force Reserve.

The spokesperson tells Us that the happy pair met in Guam, where they were both stationed.

The rehearsal dinner was in the Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco on Friday, May 31. The pair then married Saturday, June 1, at Grace Cathedral with a reception at the California Academy of Sciences.
"Wonderful day at my son Jack's wedding!" Sen. McCain tweeted, Instagramming a picture from the reception.

Swift looked stunning on her special day, wearing a white sweetheart neckline wedding dress with narrow cap sleeves and a natural waistline. She completed her look with a simple necklace and put her hair in sleek undo.

Following their wedding festivities, it's back to work for the newlyweds.

"Jack will return to Guam for another deployment after their honeymoon in Africa," the spokesperson reveals.

who also happens to be non-100%-caucasian.

Welcome to the melting pot. The world just keeps getting better, and something that would have been UNTHINKABLE (and illegal not that long ago), is now so mundane as to generate "No one cares" from you.

Congratulations to the happy couple! And GOD BLESS AMERICA!

she was starving herself during his Presidential campaign. Wasn't she a former model or am I confusing her with someone else? The Bride is beautiful and I love that wedding dress.

She used to take a lot of medication, maybe it made her gain weight. I think that she was pretty thin all her life.

it gets tougher as one gets older anyways. she always came across to me as one of those women who put so much into staying thin. and this crosses many things like age, race, politics ,class etc.

and she did have that stroke so maybe she now focuses on health more than just physical appearance.

It's a high society thing. You rarely see anyone plump in Palm Beach or on 5th Ave. in NY. You know what Wallis Simpson used to say: A woman can never be too rich or too thin.

Being too thin is unattractive at a certain age IMO, makes a woman look older than she is.

but menopause is the great leveler for women.

(Supposed to be an answer to HIpChick, something hiccupped)

I feel bad for her, the same damned thing happened to me--scrawny all my life and then BAM!

I don't think it's two different ones. It really looks like the little cap sleeves come off and well as a dress bottom that comes off. I notice that the top is the same otherwise in both photos.

I looked again and the draping of the bodice seems different. The second pic is small, so I may be wrong.



I just found a larger version of the same pic.

I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt until someone posted a thread of right wingers attacking Boehner's daughter for marrying a black man. Typical.

he has a nice family. i think he would be much more happy if he retired and just spend more time with them without worrying about pleasing his party that would never accept him. and making a fool of himself with things like benghazi and syria.

Last month Boehner's daughter married a Jamaican. The tea party folks are losing big time.
