NEW YORK (AP) — Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his longtime companion tied the knot Saturday night in a 15-minute ceremony before 400 guests gathered on the lawn outside Gracie Mansion.

Giuliani and Judith Nathan recited traditional wedding vows before Mayor Michael Bloomberg under an altar surrounded by yellow flowers and facing the East River, said Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel.

Giuliani started seeing Nathan more than three years ago while still married to Donna Hanover, who drove him out of Gracie Mansion after their 20-year marriage fell apart.

Their divorce became final last July, with Giuliani agreeing to pay Hanover more than $6.8 million. Hanover, too, has since found love again. She reunited with her old high school sweetheart, and they became engaged in March.
