i'd like to thank the 1st family for not turning this wedding into a media circus.

i dont have cable, but i see what's up here and elsewhere. i'm here to tell ya, they left me wanting more pics. and i hate weddings.

it was barely in the news. no one would have begrudged joe a warm, glowing spotlight at this moment in time. but they didnt go there.
god love em.

If it were made available to the public, MAGATS would have used the event to attack the bride’s father, Hunter Biden, and therefore spoil the couple’s special day

I see at least one network show a day for breaking headlines and saw nothing on the wedding.

They showed some photos, said a few nice words, threw in a bit of White House wedding history, and that was it. Which is fine. That's as it should be. To their credit, they also pointed out that the Bidens paid for it themselves.
