'Here comes the bride': White House to host its 19th wedding

[groundloop]

“Here Comes the Bride” will be heard at the White House very soon. Again.

Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of President Joe Biden, and Peter Neal are getting married on the South Lawn on Saturday in what will be the 19th wedding in White House history.

It will be the first wedding with a president's granddaughter as the bride, and the first one in that location, according to the White House Historical Association.

A mutual friend set up Naomi Biden, 28, and Neal, 25, about four years ago in New York City and the White House said they have been together ever since. Naomi Biden is a lawyer; her father is Hunter Biden. Neal recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania law school. The couple lives in Washington.

Nine of the 18 documented White House weddings were for a president’s daughter — most recently Richard Nixon’s daughter, Tricia, in 1971, and Lyndon B. Johnson’s daughter, Lynda, in 1967.

Hunter Biden's daughter...... I'm sure the GQP faithful will be whining about this.

1. Guess they'll be looking at Naomi's laptop next.

2. Weather should be clear with a high in the mid 40s.

3. I am curious...

...(and I doubt he would do it anyway) but in his capacity as President of the United States, can Joe Biden actually perform the ceremony?

I never thought about it before.

7. He could go through the rigorous seminary training I endured to officiate my niece's wedding . . .

It was brutal. I had to read a whole three paragraphs of explanation, then pass the critical final exam: fortunately, my credit card was up-to-date and the $35 fee was covered.

You can call me Reverend J -- got all the same credibility as any preacher or priest, more so than most, and best of all, I was able to officiate not only my niece's nuptials but any other weddings I care to perform.

[sdfernando]

8. Sure I get that

but I'm thinking more along the lines of like say the Captain of a ship being able to marry people while at sea. No special training just something in the Presidential Took Kit we've never seen or heard about before.

[Captain Zero]

15. I'm a minister in The Dude's Church.

I'm available to officiate weddings for some good beer and some good Brandy that's my only charge.

[DemocraticPatriot]

26. I think Joe has too much humility to do anything like that---

but imagining the explosion of right-wing heads if he did, is DELICIOUS!!!!

[onetexan]

31. Given the young lady is catholic i would imagine in least they w have a catholic priest offician

Esp'ly since her Pops is a devout catholic (a sensible one at that). Not sure what the groom's religious affiliation is but i'm sure they w work it out & it w be lovely. Naomi is a great combo of both beauty & brains. Her Pops shld be so proud. Also it's time we have a wedding in the WH. It's a lovely tribute to her Pops while he's in office.

4. Trump missed by a hair in giving his daughter this WH wedding.

That must really PO the Trump criminal gang and MAGAts.

[a kennedy]

9. I bet, they're all probably pissed as heck. 😂 🤣 😂

[JI7]

27. No, they don't think the White House is "fancy" enough

[NCjack]

29. The Rose Garden (redesigned by Malaria), the pomp, the circumstances,

and the TV cameras.

5. all of POTUS' grown grandchildren have turned out to be great citizens and model young people for

their peers. Naomi w be a lovely bride & i'm happy they decided to have a WH wedding

6. Best of luck to them!

Forecast (for southern MD, 60 miles south of DC,) calls for 'mostly sunny' and hi of 43 degrees F.

[TNNurse]

10. Hope there is extra security...there are awful people out there.

[Riverman100]

11. my thoughts exactly

especially with Hunter there

[DFW]

12. If we could suffer one of Nixon's progeny, they can handle this

It'll be non-news less than a week after the vows have been said.

[usonian]

14. Captain of the ship!

He can do it.

or ask a fully credentialed minister. Hint, hint.

(I'm single again and would ask the Senator)

[Cha]

16. That's almost PJB's Birthday on the 20th of Nov!

How exciting for everyone!

[KS Toronado]

17. All attendees should carry a laptop.

As a big middle finger to all right wing propaganda news.

[twodogsbarking]

18. Trump hosts burials at his golf course.

[rubbersole]

19. Burials of top secret stolen documents.

Alledgely.

[iluvtennis]

20. Aww, so sweet. n/t

[whistler162]

21. And the ring bearer will use

Hunter's laptop to carry the rings.

22. Very nice! 43F sounds pretty chilly, though for So Maryland

It's actually 43°F here in NYC right now. A temperature I expect more like up here than there.

[elleng]

23. Yes, kind of chilly! 40 right now, in southern MD.

But lucky if no wind.

[electric_blue68]

24. Windiness makes a big difference!

[elleng]

25. Sure does!

Temp was similar yesterday, hi 30s, but WIND all day, so I didn't step out! Was out much of this afternoon making p for yesterday; calm most of to day.

Cloudy and showers tomorrow afternoon, low wind.

[ZonkerHarris]

28. Tiffany missed it by THAT much.
