Mayor a Mrs. today
By Kate DUBINSKI, Free Press Reporter, Sat., June 17, 2006
When London's mayor ties the knot today, she'll be making history.
Among the three female mayors the city has had, Anne Marie
DECICCO
is the only one to get married while in office.
The only other sitting London mayor to get hitched was Tom
GOSNELL,
whose wedding in 1986 to Laurel
STROPLE was kept under wraps
until the day after it happened.
"Mayor managed to keep lid on wedding until it was over" and
"GOSNELL wed in secret" screamed the headlines in the April 19,
1986, edition of The London Free Press.
There was no keeping a lid on this party, though.
Yesterday, while
DECICCO, her bridesmaids and fiance Tim
BEST
were busy setting up a banquet hall at the Marconi Club for today's
post-nuptial reception, city hall staff were buzzing with anticipation.
"It's like the Queen getting married.
(DECICCO) is the No. 1 person
in the city," said Vilia
ZOCCANO, who has worked at city hall
since 1972.
ZOCCANO remembers
GOSNELL's wedding, which she -- with everyone
else -- found out about at the last minute when she was asked
to put out a statement about it.
"He was a different personality than Anne Marie. He wanted to
keep it private," said
ZOCCANO, who will be attending the reception.
Yesterday,
DECICCO was putting the finishing touches on the big
day and getting congratulations from every angle.
She picked up her wedding dress -- traditional white -- and was
driving home when two women began gesturing wildly in the car
beside her.
Rolling down her window,
DECICCO said she heard: "You're the
mayor. That's your dress! Congratulations."
At the Marconi Club, she and three of her bridesmaids were setting
up centrepieces and joking around with
BEST.
"He appreciates Italian,"
DECICCO joked.
"What can I say -- good company, good food, good soccer,"
BEST
replied.
"I'm hoping to get the pictures done in 20 minutes so we can
get here to watch the soccer game," he added, referring to the
World Cup soccer game between Italy and the United States that
will be going on today while the bridal party is getting wedding
photos done.
"I think at some point (on Saturday) it will hit me. Right now,
I'm just planning. It's another day,"
DECICCO said yesterday.
