This evening in the company of family, Lieutenant Governor Mongiardo and fiancée Allie Patrick were married in a private ceremony in Covington, Kentucky.

The wedding was held at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, a landmark church built in 1910 in the style of Norte Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. The couple was married by Father Stan Puryear of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bowling Green, KY.

“The ceremony was everything we dreamed it would be,” said the new Mrs. Mongiardo. “We couldn't be happier to start our new life together and are blessed to have our families share in our special day.”

“Allison is truly one of the most remarkable women I have ever met, and I am blessed to now have her as my wife. I know she will prove to be a wonderful asset as—together—we work hand-in-hand with all Kentuckians to move our state forward,” said Lieutenant Governor Mongiardo.

The bride’s father, Dan Patrick, walked her down the aisle. Her sister, Sarah Patrick, served as Maid of Honor and the Lieutenant Governor’s brother, Vincent Mongiardo, served as Best Man.

I went to high school with her, she I think she's 26 or 27... NOT right out of high school. :p I'm surprised they didn't use their relationship to mud-sling during the campaign. They were dating then, too. I didn't know her personally but I think she was pretty nice. I don't think she'd be the type to marry for money. Everyone is so judgmental. Maybe they are soul mates, who cares about age? They are both adults, everything is legal so who cares?!

Who's to say that they weren't made for each other regardless of the age difference, sometimes it really takes a while to meet your soulmate, just let them be happy!Its no-ones bussiness but theirs, not gradys not yours!!

Funny one, KentuckyGuy! LOL! ...They've been dating for 3 years???? Oh my goodness. Oh well. But imagine if it were reversed & a female lt. governor married a guy that much younger...people would be outraged!

Posted by: Jeb Location: KY on Jun 23, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Everyone thought he was gay (or at least that was the rumor). Like Zatoichi said, this should put those rumors to bed. Thankfully he didn't marry Liza Minelli or those rumors would be true! LOL!

I thought he was gay too. I hope them the best....they are both adults...so yea

Posted by: ben Location: lex on Jun 23, 2008 at 09:04 AM
Good for Dan. I can see why some of you older people might have a problem with someone choosing to go with someone who isn't as aged as you. And the girl is an adult, so if you were her father you don't get a say, gramps.

Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 23, 2008 at 08:54 AM
wow, last time I checked they were both adults! get over yourselves.

Icky, Icky, Icky, Sorry it just is. I'm at a loss for words.

He's a doctor who knows the ropes. He needs a nurse maid when he gets older and she's just young enough to be healthy and strong to do it.

Who cares that he got married. Heck, at least he should have married someone that was older so that it would not look like it does. The girl could be his daughter...How sick is that??

Posted by: Gary Location: Lexington on Jun 22, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Interesting . . . they met when she was 18. Great role model Danny!

Posted by: Brenda Harrison Location: Baxter Ky on Jun 22, 2008 at 12:25 PM
She just got out of high school!!! What????

Posted by: KentuckyGuy Location: Bluegrass on Jun 22, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Maybe he delivered her?

Posted by: Zatoichi Location: Richmond on Jun 22, 2008 at 12:13 PM
I guess this will put those spurious rumors to bed. No pun intended.

Posted by: heather Location: lexingotn on Jun 22, 2008 at 11:47 AM
I wouldn't let my daughter marry a man more than twice her age.

Posted by: jealous on Jun 22, 2008 at 10:37 AM
Sounds like you guys are jealous. Why can't you just be happy for people. It is not any of your business.

Posted by: Kevin on Jun 22, 2008 at 06:52 AM
Way to go Danny boy, she is young enough to be your daughter. She'll be 35 when you turn 60.

Posted by: Angie Location: Lexington on Jun 22, 2008 at 03:43 AM
Best Wishes to you both!!!

Posted by: steve on Jun 21, 2008 at 11:51 PM
Oh thats the one that he is old enough to be her dad?

Posted by: Grady on Jun 21, 2008 at 10:10 PM
