TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Charlie Crist is engaged to a
woman he met last September during a trip to New York.
The 51-year-old governor popped the question to Carole Rome on
Thursday morning at his St. Petersburg apartment. Crist says she
said yes without hesitation.
Crist says the couple may plan a fall wedding, most likely a
small ceremony in St. Petersburg followed by a larger reception at
the governor's mansion. While Rome has two daughters from a
previous marriage, 9 and 11, Crist said he hopes he and Rome can
have a child of their own.
Crist's first marriage ended nearly 30 years ago.
