A year after the profound loss of his wife, Rhonda, Congressman Thomas Massie has found love again. He recently announced his marriage to Carolyn Grace Moffa, a union celebrated with both a legal ceremony and a joyous gathering of loved ones.
The couple formalized their vows on October 19th in Kentucky, presided over by their pastor. This past weekend, they shared their happiness with close friends and family at a Christian ceremony held in Carolyn’s home state of Pennsylvania, marking a new chapter filled with hope.
Their connection stretches back over a decade, originating through their shared work with Senator Rand Paul. Carolyn served as an agricultural policy staffer for the Senator, championing a vision of health and wellness that resonated with Massie, even leading her to visit his family farm years ago.
This is Carolyn’s first marriage, while Massie brings with him a legacy of 31 years with Rhonda, a partnership that blessed him with four grown children, three grandchildren, and a lifetime of cherished memories. He continues to deeply miss his late wife.
The wedding festivities were attended by several colleagues from Congress, including Senators Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Victoria Spartz. However, Massie emphasized that the true VIPs were his three grandchildren, with his eldest grandson proudly serving as the ring bearer.
The celebration was infused with personal touches, reflecting the couple’s values and passions. Guests enjoyed raw milk with wedding cake and margaritas crafted from peaches grown on the Massie family farm – a testament to their commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
The proposal itself was a romantic echo of their beginnings, taking place on the steps of the Library of Congress, the very spot where they shared their first date. It was a deliberate and meaningful gesture, solidifying their commitment to one another.
Massie concluded his announcement with a heartfelt request for prayers, asking for support as Carolyn joins him in his public life and his ongoing fight for freedom on behalf of the people of Kentucky. He expressed confidence in their future together.
The announcement arrives after a period of immense grief for Massie, who publicly shared his heartbreak last year upon Rhonda’s passing. He described her as his high school sweetheart, the love of his life, and a woman of extraordinary wisdom and kindness.
