Mike Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and Taylor exchanged vows in a small, private ceremony at their Upper East Side home, surrounded by family, including Bloomberg’s daughters, Emma and Georgina.
The couple met in 2000 while seated next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting during Bloomberg’s first campaign for mayor. A chance seating assignment turned into a relationship. Two decades later, it turned into a marriage.
The Ceremony
The wedding was private and a family-only celebration. There were no cameras, no press. Just the couple and the people closest to them.
Bloomberg announced the marriage on social media: “Twenty-six years after a chance seating assignment, Mike Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have married.”
The Bottom Line
Mike Bloomberg and Diana Taylor were married in a private ceremony at their Upper East Side home. The couple met 26 years ago during Bloomberg’s first mayoral campaign. The wedding was attended by family, including Bloomberg’s daughters.
My Opinion
Twenty-six years. That is a long time to wait. Most couples do not make it that long without a ring. But Bloomberg and Taylor did. They built lives together, separate and shared, for more than two decades. And now they are married.
It is a nice story and at a time when everything feels cynical, this is a reminder that some things are not. Two people found each other and stayed.
