After a few campaign stops in Midwest with US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Gaetz and Luckey were married in a small ceremony at Catalina Island just 22 miles from the coast of Southern California. Vanity Fair reported.

A few dozen people attended the event, including Sergio Gor (ex-Rand Paul staffer), who was both the officiant as well as the DJ. According to Vanity Fair, Palmer Luckey, his wife and "Bannon's War Room" hosts Rahem Kassam, Natalie Winters and Nestor Galban were among the other attendees.

Gaetz, a Republican, has been representing Florida's 1st Congressional District from 2017 to 2017.

Greenberg was charged with 33 criminal offenses and pleaded guilty in May to six felony charges of sex traficking, wire fraud and identity theft.
