BOSTON (AP) — Retired General Electric CEO Jack Welch brought a host of high-profile executives and media celebrities to Boston during the weekend for his marriage to former Harvard Business Review editor Suzy Wetlaufer.

"It's never been better, man," said Welch, 68, giving a thumbs up as he descended the rose petal-strewn front steps of the Park Street Church.

Wetlaufer became involved with Welch after interviewing him for a Harvard Business Review profile, and left the magazine shortly after the relationship was disclosed.

After the relationship came to light, Welch's wife at the time, Jane Beasley, filed divorce papers that described their lavish lifestyle and the retirement package that Welch received after leaving the company.

Guests included InterActiveCorp Chairman Barry Diller, GE Chairman Jeffrey Immelt, Sony Music chief executive Andrew Lack, "Today" show host Matt Lauer, talk show hosts Charlie Rose and John McLaughlin, lobbyist Vernon Jordan, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Wow.

How fake and disgusting can it get?

Oh yeah, i'm sure money has nothing to do with it

That man has a retirement package that pays more and has more quirks that the acting CEO of GE. He was responsible for thousands losing their jobs blaming labor costs, it's just ridiculous what he received and still receives for compensation. Loyalty is a thing of the past, to your employees, and to your family, you're right ken, $$$$ talks.

It could have been worst. He could have married the new and surgically improved Anna Nicole.
