In Pics: Biden's Granddaughter Naomi Gets Married at White House

Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of U.S. President Joe Biden, married Peter Neal on the South Lawn of the White House, marking the first wedding for a presidential family member held on the grounds since the Clinton era.

The grandparents of the bride issued a statement that read: “It has been a joy to watch Naomi grow, discover who she is, and carve out such an incredible life for herself.”

It added: “Now, we are filled with pride to see her choose Peter as her husband and we’re honored to welcome him to our family. We wish them days full of laughter and a love that grows deeper with every passing year.”

The ceremony lasted about an hour. Naomi, 28, was walked down the aisle by her father, Hunter Biden, and her mother, Kathleen Buhle, to the song “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by the Verve.

President Biden escorted the 25-year-old groom’s two grandmothers, one on each arm then turned around, jogged back up the aisle, and returned to the altar with first lady Jill Biden, according to guests who spoke to The Washington Post.

The couple wrote their own vows. “They reminisced about their experience with each other and what brought them to today,” said Linzi Lane, a friend of the Neal family. “It was beautifully done. … I don’t think there was a dry eye.”
