CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan was married last night to Maj. Ali Iyad Yakub, a Marine Corps judge advocate. Brennan and Yakub first met 17 years ago when both were students at the University of Virginia, but were re-acquainted in 2013 when they ran into each other on the street in Washington, DC.
