Be in a movie, get a husband

So when Leslie Ghiz went to the Toronto Film Festival last September to see the documentary she was part of about the 2004 election, she met a guy in a bar.

He'd stopped in the place to get a pizza. Her sister talked to him first and learned that he wanted to have children too. He's also of Lebanese descent, like Ghiz. She insists she knew he was the one within three minutes.

So they're getting married. Possibly June 16, as long as the groom can be there.

He's salesman Steve Aziz. And he's Canadian. So he has to get his visa. They're working on that.

But they've bought a house in North Avondale. He proposed in it this weekend. She suspected the question was coming, she just didn't know when.

"I waited 37 years for this," she said. "I'm very happy. And I'm happy to share my joy with everyone."

She shared it, all right: with Bill Cunningham on his WLW Radio show.

The news brought hugs from Laketa Cole and Chris Bortz today. Ghiz showed off the diamond on her left hand; Bortz pretended to be blinded.

She won't drop her last name after the wedding. And she doesn't plan to hyphenate. She'll still campaign and practice law as Leslie Ghiz. But she'll add his.

So that's Leslie Ghiz Aziz.
