So he knocked up his girlfriend?

Regardless, congrats to them both.

I'm somewhat disappointed that he has dated this woman for so many years and even Andrew Young told him to propose years ago but he would not...and now it takes her getting preggers for him to propose. That is disappointing Mr. Mayor. I like him but that is just disappointing. If this is the young woman's doing, I suppose she might have had to do what she had to do to get married. He sure was dragging his feet.... Shame on him.

ETA: Again, I like him and think he has done a great job with bringing business to Atlanta, re-development and basically making Atlanta look like the major city that it has been for years. Congratulations to the happy couple.

At least he is marrying her now. That sort of behavior is not common is certain segments of society.

Hi GTcorndog,

To what type of behavior are you referring and to what segment of society is Mayor Reed affiliated? He is a lawyer and past senator. Now if he was a celebrity, I guess I would say, yes, I see this all the time. Of course, I guess some lawyers and politicians have had some pretty bad behavior in the past that, I guess, makes this type of judgment look mild. I think I'm also annoyed bc he is such a role model and really it would have been more helpful to marry first and then get preggers.

I'm sure he's referring to his race.

Good grief. Why not just congratulate them and move on?

In defense of Mayor Reed - he and his fiancé are both professionals. Who is to say that she was not in a hurry to get married any more than him. She had a good career and I assume a good income.

Now that there is a child on the way, there are obvious benefits for both of them to get married. Don't treat her like an helpless female that finally snagged her man.
