Wedding party toasts amidst pivotal political showdown
To the mix of Democratic Party officials, TV crews, reporters, hotel workers and assorted demonstrators — an unruly cast of thousands — add a couple of hundred well-dressed wedding guests and a bride and groom.
Yes, festivities celebrating the Debuchananne Rogers Wedding were held Saturday at the same hotel where the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee was also meeting as the political world watched. There would be a lawn reception followed by dinner and dancing.
Luckily, the rain stopped before the wedding party and guests — dressed in smart summer fashion — began arriving. Unluckily, they had to make their way through a hotel filled with protesters, politicos and journalists who were already dragging from a long, long day.
“Oh, it’s so exciting,” said one guest in a yellow frock. “Besides, we’re Democrats.”
