House Speaker John Boehner’s daughter Lindsay, 35, who lives in Hollywood, Fla., married Jamaican construction worker Dominic Lakhan, 38, last week in Delray Beach’s Sundy House garden.
She has a tatto’d arm. He a marijuana conviction. She: strapless white gown. He: dreadlocks. Sixty guests including Mrs. Debbie Boehner and other daughter Tricia, 32.
The Daily Mail and Gossip Extra report they’re registered at Macy’s. So far the pair’s classiest gift was a $500 KitchenAid; the cheapo was $7.99 on sale bath towels. Dress code besides heavy security plainclothes dudes, uniformed sheriff, a squad car, cops and invitees’ ID wristbands were Hawaiian shirts and sundresses.
A big-time six-course sit-down? Uh-uh. Three-piece band and buffet in a small banquet room. Blinds drawn. Snoopers couldn’t snoop.
Court records list the groom’s 2003 and 2006 arrests. Once for possessing 2 grams of pot. His new father-in-law has stated he’s “unalterably opposed to legalizing marijuana even for medical purposes.”
I am stating the Speaker wore a bright tie, bright smile, said he was “proud” and danced at his daughter’s wedding.
TONY Lo Bianco’s shoes have Botticelli paintings on the soles. He’s been doing “Fiorello,” a one-man show on La Guardia, and says: “My shoes are almost a bigger hit than I am.” . . . The Public Theater’s Oskar Eustis announces Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Hamish Linklater in “The Comedy of Errors” free Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte thru June 30 . . . Buyers, be aware. Every designer Ralph Rucci creation bears the label “Made in the USA.”
STEVE Guttenberg announces he bought two books. “One’s about the late Blackie Schwamb, 6-foot-5, LA’s 1940s semi-pro pitcher. Schwamb met baseball fan Mickey Cohen, who played daytime but nighttime became a gangster who broke legs and ended up one of the greatest players to go to prison. I want Jake Gyllenhaal or Ashton Kutcher for the role.
“The other’s ‘Autochromatic,’ a tragedy/comedy by a 20-year-old second year Vassar girl. I’m producing both films.
“Know why? Because I gotta do something and it’s better than laying around the pool drinking.”
UNITED States Sen. Rand Paul. Republican from Kentucky. Know what he did recently during a big-time high-powered hotshot multimillionaires’ fund-raising meeting? Clipped his nails. Those around were grateful he was manicuring fingers not toes . . . Daniel Craig keeps his ID secret with mail to his New York house. Being the truly wonderful person that it is well-known I am, I will not reveal the town or that fake name.
GRETA Gerwig co-stars in “Frances Ha.” Also in it Mickey Sumner, Sting’s daughter. Greta co-wrote this with Noah Baumbach with whom she also co-lives, co-loves, co-operates or co-does much besides writing a screenplay. They also co-answer.
Noah: “We wrote even when we were in different places. We didn’t do this by design. It was better than nothing. I’d write a scene, then send it to her, then she’d write hers, then send it to me. It was moment to moment, segment by segment. Staring at the same piece of paper I get anxiety. Creating is pure blood and spit.”
Greta: “I’d do my part then e-mail him. He’s better writing structure, the sense of what’s happening. We’re both strong in dialogue. Sitting down facing a blank page for four hours is tough. I multitask wherever I am. I work best, longhand or computer, in a makeup chair or when doing other things and something else is going on.”
Greta’s favorite scene: “I’m running down the street, on Broadway. In Chinatown. I felt like that just encapsulated everything. I never before danced down a street.”
Noah’s favorite scene: “When she’s running down the street. She’s in sneakers but has a backpack.”
Greta on the odd movie title: “Although it sounds silly it makes you happy and the meaning is revealed in the film’s last frame.”
Noah on the odd movie title: “I can’t tell you that now. You’ll find it out at the end.”
And running to see this film? Family members. Sting, whose kid is in it. Ben Stiller, who was in Noah’s 2010 movie “Greenberg.” Its producer Scott Rudin. Diane Sawyer and husband Mike Nichols, who directed Rudin’s Tony-winning “Death of a Salesman.”
JUNE’s coming. The weddings month. Let it be known he’s a loser if at the ceremony the bride shows up with a date.
Congratulations, good wishes, much luck and mazel tov to one of our own. Yesterday, 4:30, this page’s editrix extraordinaire Rachael Shapiro — who comes from some alien territory called Maryland — married pianist/composer Dan Lipton. They met in the only proper place there is: New York. The wedding was in Wall Street’s elegant Bayard’s. May longtime happiness and expensive presents follow.
FRIDAY night. Early 6:30 dinner at Our Place, a Chinese restaurant on East 79th. Three people. Guest to her host: “Do you have a tan?” Host: “Yes. Either that or my liver’s going.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
