&quot Biden's) office said the vice president obtained a temporary certification from the District of Columbia to preside over the wedding ceremony, which was attended only by the grooms' families. It took place in the living room of his home at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington.

The newlyweds are Brian Mosteller, director of Oval Office operations for President Barack Obama, and Joe Mahshie, a trip coordinator for first lady Michelle Obama."

I was wondering how the vice president is legally allowed to perform marriage ceremonies.

How cool to have your boss (and your boss's husband's coworker!) preside at your wedding!

I never really thought this type of equality would advance so quickly. Liberals are always on the right side of history.

Biden is totally awesome. He's the one who really drove the administration's gay rights policy I think. I'm certainly impressed with the progress made on this issue. Wouldn't want Pence to roll that back.

Curious if Trump or Pence comment on this. Kind of hope they do in a it will blow up in their faces kind of way.
