Elizabeth May married John Kidder, a retired technology entrepreneur and longtime Green party member, in a ceremony attended by about 500 guests.

Instead of marching for Earth Day, Green party Leader Elizabeth May marched down the aisle in Victoria's Christ Church Cathedral Monday afternoon.

May married John Kidder, a retired technology entrepreneur and long-time Green party member, in a ceremony attended by about 500 guests.

As church bells tolled, May and Kidder emerged smiling from the church, kissing for the crowd and greeting onlookers before getting into the back of a Tesla where they were shuttled to a reception. 

May announced her engagement to Kidder last November. 

Kidder has deep roots in the Green Party, having run federally for a seat in B.C., and is a founder of the provincial party.
