Perhaps the most famous wedding crasher in history, former President Bill Clinton showed up an Irish wedding last weekend to help one Irish-American couple celebrate their big day.
Clinton was in Ireland for the annual Irish Funds conference in Cork when he took the time to pose for a photo with the newlyweds.
The happy Irish-American couple had their wedding at the luxury Castlemartyr Resort where the 42nd President of the United States was staying. Pat Howard and his wife Kelly Seamans, originally from Minneapolis, were amazed when Clinton strolled over and introduced himself.
Howard, who hails from Cork, thanked the former president for his contribution to Ireland.
"I thanked him for all he did for the Peace Process and for being such a friend of Ireland," Howard told the Irish Independent.
"That is one photo that is definitely going into the album -- it is a memory that will last us forever," he added.

wtf I hope someone made sure he had no alone time with the bride. As a matter of fact I don’t think I would want slick Willie in the same building as my bride

Tis grand that President Clinton, the frequent occupier of The Oval Orifice,has such respect for the sanctity of marriage.I'm inclined to agree with Murph46 and Porickseantuny...

He had his eye on the bridesmaids!

I realize this web site doesn't claim to be objective or for that matter real journalism, but its fascination with the Clintons is starting to suggest something self serving. Maybe it should be renamed the Clinton Central.

How silly. He was trolling for women.
