Amy Carter, the 28-year-old daughter of former President Jimmy Carter, was married in a homespun ceremony Sunday on the bank of a pond where her late grandmother, Lillian, used to fish.
The groom is James Wentzel, a 27-year-old computer consultant at the University of New Orleans whose parents are from Herndon, Va. Carter is studying for a master's degree in art history at nearby Tulane University. The two met last summer while she was working in an Atlanta bookstore managed by Wentzel.
``We are all happy. The bride and groom are now husband and wife,'' the former president said after the 15-minute private ceremony attended by about 140 friends and family members.
Wentzel is the son of Jim and Judy Wentzel of Herndon. His father, a retired Mobil Oil Co. executive, met the Carters for the first time Saturday night.
