The couple met in 2012 through a Federal prisoner pen-pal program. The bridegroom had been sentenced to 6 years following convictions for insider trading, wire fraud, making false statements, and conspiracy. He was acquitted of securities fraud and false accounting.
Dr. Thompson - who will continue to use her maiden name professionally in her medical practice - began corresponding with the bridegroom after seeing letter writing mentioned as a fun, interesting hobby in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop.
The ceremony was held Saturday evening, before family and friends, at the Doubletree Hotel and officiated by the High Priestess from the West Seattle Wiccan Coven.
In lieu of gifts, the couple requests donations be made to the Mitt Romney SuperPAC.
I’ve been thinking this year’s birthday present to myself will be purchasing my imaginary wedding announcement in the newspaper. For the photo, I’ll use a prom picture.
Or I’ll buy an entirely serious personal ad in the classifieds in the back pages of The Economist.
