Eric Garcetti Gets Married, Young Women Depressed Across LA

The young, hip and cute superstar City Council President Eric Garcetti of LA's popular 13th district (Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village, etc), is now a married man. "It should mellow me out," Garcetti joked at today's City Council meeting. The small wedding was on Sunday with parents and close friends. Amy Elaine Wakeland and Garcetti have been dating for a while now; they currently reside in Echo Park. He's up for reelection on the March 3rd ballot with little competition.
