State Sen. Darrell Steinberg brought the assembled wedding guests to tears as he led Gretchen Bender and Lisa Rabo through vows at their small wedding on the Capitol grounds on Tuesday. The pair—who’ve been together four years and are expecting their third child—promised in front of their parents, their daughters and a handful of friends, to remain “together forever in the legal and spiritual partnership of marriage.”
