Wedding plans are still up in the air, too. They have already ruled one idea out, however. In January, when they went to visit Donald Trump in the White House just a little more than a week after his inauguration, Scarborough and Brzezinski sat down for lunch with the president, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, ostensibly to talk to their longtime friend about his first week in office and issues related to women. Once the fish and scalloped potatoes had been served, and special sauces delivered directly to Trump were placed on the table, the couple said that the president came up with an idea: If they planned on getting married, they should consider doing so at Mar-a-Lago or the White House, they recalled. “That’s when Jared interrupted and said, ‘Hey, you know what? I’ve got my license. I could marry you,’” Scarborough said. (A White House spokeswoman had no comment.)

According to Scarborough, that’s when Trump snapped from the end of the table, saying: “Why would you marry them? They could have the President of the United States marry them.”

I asked them if they would consider the offer now that they are engaged. “The White House that I grew up in was an amazing place. If it weren’t Trump, it might be something to think about,” Brzezinski said. “The mental picture is just fascinating, but the reality is just . . . no. No, no, no, no, no.”

Good decision. Not only would the Orange Turdsicle officiate, he'd also demand to serve as Best Man and Maid of Honor. Not to mention coming along with them on the honeymoon.

No word on whether they ate any of the "special sauces delivered directly to Trump." (I wouldn't eat anything "special" that was "delivered directly to Trump," for obvious reasons.)

If they can't afford it, then they're incompetent at managing money.

Congratulations, lovebirds! Spend time with each other, enjoying each others' company in some far-away paradise. Maybe the Fyrefestival. Or one of Trump's clubs. As long as you stay off the air and don't blather away in print, I wish you all the best!
