Mary Cheney, Former VP’s Daughter, Marries Longtime Partner Heather Poe | Mary Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, married her longtime partner, Heather Poe, in Washington D.C. today. In a statement provided to the Daily Caller, “both the former vice president and his wife were ‘delighted’ that the couple could have their ‘relationship recognized.’” Unfortunately, because the state of Virginia amended its constitution in 2006 to limit marriage to one man and one woman, the couples’ license will not be recognized when they return to their home in Virginia where they have two children.
