Kim Catullo & Christine Quinn

Isn’t it funny that Kim Catullo straight-out refused to meet Christine Quinn when a friend first offered the idea. Quinn was the leading politician running for mayor in 2013, so maybe that had something to do with it. But put that all behind and see how happy they are together now after marrying one-another. They even had some special guests like, Michael Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer and Andrew Cuomo.
