Dwire, who had three daughters from a previous marriage, met Kelley when she patronized the beauty salon he owned."The Clinton Family Bio," cnn.com. They married on January 3, 1969, in Hope, Arkansas; the ceremony was performed by the Rev. John Miles, and Bill Clinton served as the best man. He also played and sang at the reception. Earlier, in August, Clinton had watched the Chicago Democratic convention on television with Dwire."Cliffs Notes For Clinton's Book: The Ultimate Abridgement Of My Life," CBS News (July 7, 2004). Friends of the bride were concerned about the union, which was Kelley's third, because Dwire had been convicted of stock fraud in 1961.
