Gores’ Daughter Weds Physician in Cathedral Rite
Al and Tipper Gore’s eldest daughter married a New York physician Saturday in a Washington National Cathedral ceremony that had the vice president exclaiming “God bless America” as he left the church.
Episcopal Bishop Ronald Haines, whose diocese is based in the cathedral, presided over Karenna Gore’s wedding with ministers chosen by the vice president’s family and the family of the groom, New York physician Andrew Schiff.
The ceremony in the neo-Gothic cathedral, which has a stained glass window for each state, featured a violin rendition of the “Appalachian Waltz” and the singing of hymns, including “Amazing Grace.”
After the ceremony, the 23-year-old bride, wearing a gown custom-made by New York designer Vera Wang, posed for pictures with her husband, who is 31. The bride carried a bouquet of white Virginia roses tied with a satin ribbon. Her ivory satin dress featured a sleeveless fitted bodice and a full skirt. She wore a long veil pinned to her blond hair.
