HOW PRESIDENT SARKOZY MET HIS WIFE.

HOW PRESIDENT SARKOZY MET HIS WIFE. My brother Elmer and I will often make conversation by asking spouses how they met. The answer is usually romantic and sometimes surprising (a lady told Elmer that she met her husband when he came for a meal at the soup kitchen at which she volunteered). Based on the Wall Street Journal article on Friday about the divorce of President Sarkozy and his wife, their meeting was unusual: “Mr. Sarkozy fell in love with Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz while, as mayor of a Paris suburb, he celebrated her civil wedding to a French television-show host in 1984.” He pursued her and married her after divorcing his first wife.
