Joe Biden married Two Gay Officials
Washington: Mr Biden seems determined to have a good time during his last months as vice president. Joe Biden has been enjoying himself recently.
As well as filming an episode of Law & Order in July, the vice president also took on the honourable duty of marrying two White House officials.
On their request, he officiated for Brian Mosteller, the director of Oval Office operations, and Joe Mashie, a trip coordinator for Michelle Obama, at his Washington home.
The ceremony took place one year after his government legalised gay marriage.
“Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house,” he wrote on twitter.
“Couldn’t be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys.”
He obtained a temporary licence from the District of Columbia to officiate their wedding, as reported by BuzzFeed.
The ceremony topped off a busy few weeks for the man whose favourite put-down is “malarkey”, according to the Washington Post. Last week he spoke at the Democratic National Convention to advocate for Hillary Clinton, saying Donald Trump had “no clue”.
“He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break! That’s a bunch of malarkey,” he said.
He then filmed his first cameo on NBC show Law & Order, where he joined star Mariska Hargitay to praise the Special Victims Unit for working on the backlog of rape kits.
