Naomi Biden announces that her wedding will be on White House South Lawn

President Biden’s granddaughter says her wedding this fall at the White House will take place on the South Lawn.

“We have finally figured out where the ceremony will be,” Naomi Biden wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

“And much to the relief of Secret Service and with the dogs’ endorsement…we’ll be getting married on the South Lawn!” Biden, 28, said.

Jill Biden’s communications director announced earlier this year that the first lady and president would host their granddaughter’s Nov. 19 wedding reception at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Naomi Biden is poised to take the plunge with fiancé Peter Neal.

Not many people get to say that they got married at the White House.

And I imagine the Secret Service would be happy about this choice.


I imagine there are downsides to getting married at the White House too... but, all-in-all, I think this is cool.

so I'll agree with you about outdoor wedding in August.
But I believe it could be cold and maybe some snow on the ground in Nov.

I guess the best time is around Cherry Blossom season., maybe?

October would probably be better, but there may be conflicts.

Outside of a bad weather spell that no one can predict, DC is usually in the 60s around that time. I don't know what is considered good "wedding weather," but I would think 60s would be nice.

It's an incredible venue. The exposure of President Biden as a loving family guy can't be a bad thing.

..while there was a war going on (2.400+ US military deaths that year) -- and it was no big deal. Nevertheless, cons will pitch a fit about a Biden family wedding at the WH "while there's a crisis going on."

because it won't be in Melania's redesigned rose garden (which seemingly lacks roses).

I suppose it will be at least another decade before the unfriendly monochrome gets a refit.

weddings that took place elsewhere. (The last of these took place under George W Bush.) But you’re right — the right will claim this is outrageous, demand to know who is paying, etc.

It looks like all or nearly all of the rest were close relatives of presidents.

She got engaged at the WH and most likely wanted a WH wedding. She's been engaged for 2 years now and had considered Greece or somewhere else, but has settled on Mar-a-Lago for some reason.

Maybe if they could get ABBA to sing in Greece, they could have lived the Mamma Mia musical.
