Author Christopher Buckley has married Dr. Katy Close, a South Carolinian who runs a clinic in Haiti. They wed in Stamford, Conn., on Sept. 29 in front of 150 guests. Chris e-mailed, “It was a lovely day despite 55 mile an hour winds, a 9.6 Richter-scale earthquake, an eclipse and outbreak of dengue fever. Among the attendees were the Dalai Lama, William Howard Taft XII, Prince William and Kate Middleton (clothed, for once, thank God), the president of Iceland, Majorca, Minorca and Middle-orca, Higgs Boson (who kept getting trod on), and Jimmy Hoffa (very earthy fellow). Plus, President Obama (who really should have been practicing for the debate). So, all in all, a quiet but lovely celebration.”
