Will we have another cool, understanding, down to earth Vice President like this in the near future?  Sure Kaine speaks Spanish, but will he officiate a gay wedding?

Washington (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden on Monday officiated his first wedding ever, for two longtime White House staffers.

Posting a photo of the ceremony on Twitter, Biden wrote, "Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house. Couldn't be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys."
 
His office said the vice president obtained a temporary certification from the District of Columbia to preside over the wedding ceremony, which was attended only by the grooms' families. It took place in the living room of his home at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington.
    The newlyweds are Brian Mosteller, director of Oval Office operations for President Barack Obama, and Joe Mahshie, a trip coordinator for first lady Michelle Obama.
     
    Biden's wife, Jill, later tweeted: "Love is love!"

    Thanks Joe for your continued support.  Here's a pic where Vice President said he was very comfortable with gay marriage / marriage equality back in 2012.  This was great that the Vice President supported marriage equality, but Joe's announcement came days before President Obama had a chance to weigh in on his stance on marriage equality.
