Ah, love! Today, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and her girlfriend of over ten years, Kim Catullo, finally get to tie the knot. The couple will make it official at 5:30 this evening at the Highline Stages on West 15th St in front of a potpourri of local politicos: guests include Mayor Bloomberg, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, and State Assembly members Vito Lopez and Deborah Glick.
But don't expect these bigwigs to bring Quinn and Catullo any fancy blenders. The Speaker enforced a gift ban on certain guests so as not to overstep city laws barring public officials from accepting gifts over $50 from one another.
Quinn's same-sex nuptials are noted for being the first ever for a high-ranking city official.
