Chief Justice John Roberts officiated Friday's secret wedding of David Rubenstein, the investor and patriotic philanthropist, to Caryn Zucker, who's active on the boards of several New York City cultural institutions.

Rubenstein is co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, owner of the Baltimore Orioles, and an author and interviewer. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, for his lavish support for preserving and restoring historic landmarks and artifacts.
Zucker worked at "Saturday Night Live" early in her career.

The couple, who have been together for 4½ years, wanted an intimate wedding with just their families, including their children; two of Rubenstein's grandchildren; and Caryn's siblings and father.

They began the day at the Supreme Court. Rubenstein and Roberts got to know each other at the Smithsonian, where the chief justice is chancellor and Rubenstein chaired the board of regents.
A religious ceremony followed at the historic Sixth & I synagogue, officiated by Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt. Then the small group gathered for lunch on the rooftop of the Hay-Adams hotel, where this photo was taken.

Tony Powell, the photographer, wrote on Instagram: "Just photographed the best-kept wedding secret of the year. And when I say secret, I mean I didn't even find out it was a wedding until 15 minutes before it started."
