Lt. Gov. Hunt marries Bono in Vegas Wedding
Lieutenant Govenor Lorraine Hunt married Dennis Bono in a Las Vegas cermony on Sunday. A reception was held at the Hilton Hotel in the Tuscany Sky Villas. Among the guests: Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme, Lance Burton and Gabriella Verace, Freddie Bell, Nelson Sardelli, Blake Pier, Corrie Sachs and Kathleen Dunbar. Hunt and Bono, both performers, joined together to sing "Our Love is Here to Stay."
Hunt is the owner of The Bootlegger Bistro, a nightclub long popular with Las Vegas locals and showroom performers. Hunt is herself a singer, and often performs at the restaurant. (In Nevada, the job of lieutenant governor is essentially a part-time post, which allows Hunt to keep her "night job.")
Hunt filed for divorce from her second husband, Blackie, in July 2003; he died on December 30 of that year, before the divorce became final.
Lorraine T. Hunt (born 1943 in Niagara Falls, New York) is the current Lieutenant Governor of the U.S State of Nevada. She was elected to the position in 1998, and re-elected four years later.
She is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the 2006 Nevada gubernatorial election. She is considered the moderate alternative to Republican Congressman Jim Gibbons. Also in the race is Republican State Senator Bob Beers, another conservative.
The following is from Bono's official website.
