After more than four decades of being married to the U.S. Marine Corps, retired Gen. James N. Mattis went for a new bride during a Las Vegas wedding ceremony officiated by an Elvis impersonator.
The legendary Marine and former Trump administration defense secretary, known affectionately in the Corps as the “Warrior Monk,” exchanged wedding vows on Saturday with Christina Lomasney, a physicist and tech entrepreneur who works at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington.
Politico, which reported the surprise nuptials, said the couple met at a bar. According to media reports, they were earlier married by a priest on the banks of the Columbia River.
