The embattled congressman took a break from his national conspiracy-theory speaking tour to elope with his girlfriend of one-ish years, Ginger Luckey, on Saturday.
According to Vanity Fair, former Rand Paul aide Sergio Gor officiated the ceremony, then went on to DJ for the approximately 40 guests. They included right-wing media personalities Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters; the bride’s brother and his partner; and, of course, Nestor, the 20-year-old brother of the groom’s ex-girlfriend, whom Gaetz never adopted but who supposedly lives with the Florida representative, making Nestor something like a … beloved roommate? Anyway.
Speaking of the wife: Who is she? Well, she works at a start-up that “focuses on extending the longevity of produce using only plant-based materials,” per Vanity Fair, which interviewed the couple in July. Apparently the couple hoped this conversation would “expand the public understanding of [Luckey] beyond ‘that poor girl marrying Matt Gaetz,’” and cement her as a sort of an apolitical, Ivanka-type figure.
Vanity Fair reports that the elopement comes as “something of a surprise,” given that these two originally planned to get married next August. Hmm.
