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.
