ARISTIDE TO MARRY LEGAL ADVISER IN SIMPLE WEEKEND CEREMONY.Byline: Associated Press Associated Press: see news agency. Associated Press (AP) Cooperative news agency, the oldest and largest in the U.S. and long the largest in the world. Haiti's priest-turned-president and his bride-to-be announced their wedding date Thursday - two days before the event. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, 42, and his legal adviser Mildred Trouillot Mildred Trouillot-Aristide (born 1963) is a Haïtian-American lawyer who married Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former President of Haïti in 1996. Mildred Trouillot grew up in the Bronx. Both her father, Emile, and mother, Carmelle, were natives of Haïti. , 33, said they will marry Saturday at Aristide's suburban residence in Tabarre, just north of the capital.

Although several hundred guests are invited, there will be no wedding cake, and Trouillot will not wear a bridal gown or carry a bouquet, she said. The new Mrs. Aristide will be Haiti's first lady only until Feb. 7, when Aristide hands over power to President-elect Rene Preval. In the years following his ordination, Aristide's fiery sermons calling for Haitians to overthrow their dictators outraged the Vatican, which expelled him from the order for allegedly inciting class hatred. Aristide became the symbol of freedom for Haitians, who elected him president by a landslide landslide, rapid slipping of a mass of earth or rock from a higher elevation to a lower level under the influence of gravity and water lubrication. More specifically, rockslides are the rapid downhill movement of large masses of rock with little or no hydraulic flow, in 1990. Aristide's relations with the Vatican remain strained. The Holy See is the only state that recognized the military-imposed regimes that ruled Haiti after the army ousted Aristide in 1991. Aristide met Trouillot in 1993 when she worked as a legal adviser to the government-in-exile he headed from Washington. After a U.S.-led military force returned him to Haiti in October 1994, Aristide asked the Vatican to release him from his vows. The Vatican has never said whether it granted the request. Aristide spokeswoman Michelle Karshan said that among the guests expected at the wedding are Gen. John Shalikashvili John Malchase David Shalikashvili (Georgian: ჯონ მალხაზ შალიკაშვილი , the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, and U.S. National Security Adviser Anthony Lake Anthony Lake (born April 2, 1939 in New York City) was the National Security Advisor under US President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.
