When Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) weds fiance Huma Abedin this weekend, they might be overshadowed by the person officiating the ceremony: Bill Clinton.

Sources close to the couple told The Associated Press that the former president will preside Saturday at the wedding of the 45-year-old congressman and Abedin, a longtime aide of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The ceremony will take place at the Oheka Castle in Huntington on Long Island, the AP said.

The couple have been dating for about two years and last summer announced their plans to marry. Weiner is Jewish and Abedin, 34, is Muslim, from Saudi Arabia.

Aides to Weiner and the former president declined to comment to the AP.

The Clintons will be attending another wedding later this month. Their daughter, Chelsea, will tie the knot with investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in Rhinebeck, N.Y., on July 31.
