This is the Jamaican-born fiancé of House Speaker John Boehner's daughter, pictured just weeks before their upcoming nuptials.
The construction worker was spotted enjoying a McDonalds in Florida recently, with his

Dominic Lakhan, 38, has been arrested for possessing marijuana in the past. This may not have gone down well with Boehner - who is a staunch opponent to legalizing the drug.
Lindsay Marie Boehner, 35, is set to marry Lakhan on May 10 in Delray Beach, Florida.

BOEHNER'S POSITION ON POT
House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican representing Ohio, has said he is 'unalterably opposed' to legalizing marijuana, even for medical purposes.
'Whether it is the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society - all of those people, by and large don’t believe there is any medicinal value in marijuana,' Boehner told CNN in 2009.
In 2006, Lakhan was arrested in Pembroke Pines, Florida for misdemeanor possession of two grams of marijuana during a traffic stop, the National Enquirer first reported.
The police report from the incident states that 'upon making contact with the driver,' an officer 'observed in plain view a 16 oz. Natural Lite beer can opened in the driver door.'
The officer 'also detected the odor of burnt cannabis emitting from the interior of the vehicle,' the police report continues.
'A search of the vehicle revealed two bags containing approximately TWO grams of suspected cannabis… inside the center of the ashtray.'
