Barney Frank keeping wedding details under wraps (pssst -- it’s on a holiday weekend in July)

It’s not exactly the secret celebrity wedding of the season, but it still might be high-wattage enough -- at least in political circles -- to attract unwanted paparazzi. So a spokesman said Monday that Representative Barney Frank would prefer to keep the timing of his marriage to Jim Ready under wraps.

It’s not working too well. Frank himself has leaked enough clues that it is easy to conclude the wedding is this Saturday afternoon, in a private ceremony in Newton.

Barney said in a C-SPAN interview in May that he was not inviting President Obama and his wife, Michelle, to the nuptials because of the traffic disruptions it would cause in Newton and because guests would have to endure heavy security. Then he added telling details: he is marrying on a "Saturday afternoon" and "a holiday weekend." He had previously spilled the beans that he was getting married in July.

There are many other signs the big day is at hand, including on-the-record confirmation from guests.

On Friday, during an interview with the Globe about economic policy, an aide burst into Frank’s Capitol Hill office with a giant bunch of flowers. Frank shooed the aide away, saying, "must be for the wedding."

If any of you right wing nuts are in Newton this weekend ... and don't have anything else to do ...

[Patriot Babe]

So Barney is going to be the Bridezilla for this weekend. What a shame he didn’t invite ODumbo I know they would all fit in well together.

Barney thinks is wedding will be like Princess Diana. Who would want to go or watch this freak show?

PING

[Patriot Babe]

O I forgot I wonder if Barney will relinguish his gifts (whatever that be - don’t want to know lol) for money.

Memo to MA ANG:

Get coordinates for Frank "Wedding?"

[Flag_This]

Do you think he’ll wear white?

[Kudsman]

Will Barney be taking his husbands last name or will it be hyphenated? Barney Ready-Frank. What a mess.

[twister881]

For what is Bwaney Fag’s bride Frank “Ready?”

[1raider1]

I think Ol’ Barn’s been frank ready for a long time.

[PLD]

This disgusting queer bastard makes me want to puke.

[layman]

Reasonable people can disagree with much of what Barney says and does, but I think we can all agree on one thing .... Barney Frank is one handsome dude !

[Kudsman]

That would probably turn the ole scatologist on.

[Fightin Whitey]

Somebody’s marrying Barney? In a pig’s @$$. But I repeat myself.

[duckman]

Ya think they’ll be serving tube steaks at the reception? Just askin.

[Dr. Sivana]

Somebody’s marrying Barney? In a pig’s @$$. But I repeat myself.

Depending on the age of the "spouse", one could imagine the decades of benefits the "spouse" will get once DOMA is overturned as Barney's "widow" one day.

Did Barney encourage everybody to donate to ∅'s Wedding Gift Registry to help the campaign?

[RedMDer]

Please help stop this madness in DC and donate.

[QT3.14]

My mind revolts at trying to visualize the blushing bride tossing the bridal bouquet!

My mind revolts at trying to visualize the groom tossing the garter!

But I repeat myself.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He's going to Malta, right?

And John Roberts is his bridesmaid, right?

“Barney Frank is one handsome dude !”
Yeah, and have you noticed his speech impediment. I guess that comes from eating “gherkin's” every day!
