Former President Bill Clinton will preside at the wedding of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner to a longtime aide of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.The Clintons hosted a garden party Wednesday night at their Embassy Row home with more than 300 people, a sumptuous buffet of Mideastern food and a sign with the couple's wedding date, "7-10-10," near the pool.
Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin have been dating for about two years and announced their engagement last summer. Weiner is Jewish. Abedin grew up in Saudi Arabia and is Muslim.
Abedin began working for Hillary Clinton in the White House in 1996. She followed her to Capitol Hill in 2001 after the former first lady was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York. Abedin served as Clinton's traveling chief of staff during Clinton's 2008 presidential bid and took much the same role after President Barack Obama named Clinton to be secretary of state last year.
