'Morning Joe' Co-Hosts Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough Wed in 'Secret' Ceremony



"'Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough married Saturday evening in a “secret” ceremony at the National Archives in Washington D.C., Vanity Fair reports. The media power couple, who got engaged in Antibes, France last spring, were wed “in front of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights” according to the magazine. The quiet ceremony is in keeping with their notoriously discrete relationship. The pair, sometimes described with the portmanteau “Scarzinski,” don’t discuss their personal lives on their morning news program which in Vanity Fair’s view, “lent the duo an unexpected celebrity air, rendering them a sort of Branjelina of the political-media in-crowd.” President Trump offered them the opportunity to have their nuptials at The White House. They reportedly said no.

1. Does anyone think it odd, this "story" that Trump would have 'offered' the White House?

Either that's a lie, the two are still playing "both sides", or Trump is insane enough to still think he can manipulate that easily....

2. That's what I thought also, then I gave them the benefit of the doubt (temporarily)....

and thought the idiot may have volunteered way back when they first announced their engagement. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

3. Yes, it certainly does seem odd.

If Trump truly did offer there has to be a rather large benefit in it for him.

It's always about him. He also said he would get Nancy Palosi votes if she needed them.

12. Mika explained why they chose the National Archives in the Vanity Fair article

and i think it was a great idea, given who they are:

“We did an event there more than a year ago and we were just blown away, seeing all these documents and how we felt seeing them,” Brzezinski told me before the ceremony, explaining how they settled on the rotunda in the Archives, with its 70-foot ceilings and those three historic documents framed behind glass, as the place where they wanted to marry. “It makes sense now more than ever, given what we stand for as a couple, what we do for a living, and what we’re worried about as a country.”

I've really enjoyed watching them the past few months. It was great to see how he's come around and together they continue to cover the worrying events (putting it mildly) that unfold on a daily basis in a bipartisan fashion. He's become more centrist and has taken on a much more unifying/reasoned tone. Congrats to the happy couple. It's not as if we didn't know of their relationship but they did a great job keeping their personal lives under wraps till they tied the knot.

Those documents that Scarborough pissed all over in his work in
stopping the counting of people's votes in bush v Gore during
the Florida 2000 election theft?


Every time I see Scarborough his actions in Florida 2000 come into
my mind. And as per me nothing will wash away that stain on his
being.

Good guests on their show .... if Scar would ask a short question and let them answer. Mika rarely finishes a sentence before Scar shuts her up. Congratulations.
