Cheating gov. had the bit about not cheating taken from wedding vows
Now here’s a sign things may not end well: your hubby-to-be refuses to promise to be faithful and has the bit about not cheating removed from your wedding vows.
Ding, ding, ding, buzz.
Jenny Sanford says that’s what happened before she married now disgraced South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
In an interview set to air 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, on ABC, the estranged Mrs. Sanford reportedly tells Barbara Walter’s that she took a “leap of faith” and married Mark Sanford in 1989 anyway.
Details of the couple’s marriage became the nation’s business in June after Sanford ‘disappeared’ while supposedly hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Turns out the S.C. Gov. was visiting his lover Maria Belen Chapur in hot and spicy Argentina.
This was no fling.
Gov. Sanford apparently considered Chapur his soul mate and after his wife discovered love letters, he asked his wife for permission to cheat, Ms. Sanford told ABC.
“I could never have imagined this. I mean, I could never have even made this up. It never occurred to me that this person I knew, who was actually a fairly grounded person, would be asking me something so morally offensive,” Jenny Sanford reportedly told Walters. “He said, ‘Why, why can’t you just give me permission?’ I said, ‘Well, why would I give you permission? I mean, who, who gives their spouse permission to go see their lover?’”
Sanford, who moved out of the governor’s manison before the scandal broke, has a new book coming out.
