Former President Bill Clinton will be the officiant at Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner's wedding today.

Weiner is tying the knot on Long Island with Huma Abedin, a long-time aide of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The former first couple's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, is set to get married to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on July 31.

Meanwhile, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is reportedly taking his wedding outside the state, in protest of its gay marriage policy.

The New York Times reports Democrat Scott Stringer and fiancee Elyse Buxbaum have decided to walk down the aisle in Connecticut.

The move is over what they tell the paper is their personal disagreement with the state's failure to legalize same-sex marriage.

Stringer says he hopes more people will begin boycotting New York's marriage bureau.

Late last year, the State Senate defeated a bill that would have allowed gay couples to wed.
