Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s office announced yesterday that she has set a date to marry her longtime partner.
Quinn, who could become the city’s first gay mayor in 2013, set May 19 for her nuptials with Kim Catullo, said her office, which revealed virtually no other wedding details.
Quinn, 45, sent out “save the date” cards yesterday to wedding guests in the form of vintage subway maps.
So her aides decided to notify the media of the timetable before someone else leaked it.
The only other information they would provide was that the ceremony would be held in Manhattan “with family and friends” and would be private.
One guest on the invite list is Mayor Bloomberg, a political ally of the speaker.
Quinn vowed years ago that she wouldn’t travel to another state to get hitched and had been waiting for New York to legalize gay marriage, which the state did last June.
“When I get married,” she said in 2008, “I want to get married in my hometown.”
One veteran political consultant said the timing made sense since Quinn will be in the middle of the mayoral race next year.
