Naomi Biden married Peter Neal on the South Lawn of the White House late Saturday morning, in the first wedding for a presidential family member held on the grounds since the Clinton era.
The impressive backdrop almost made up for cold temperatures. President Biden’s oldest granddaughter donned a long-sleeve, ballgown-style wedding dress with a long veil on a crisp, blue-sky 40-degree day. The White House’s south portico was decorated with white and green flower garlands, and a floral arch and wreaths festooned the doors.
The bride’s sister Finnegan served as maid of honor, and her other sister, Maisie, and new sister-in-law, Katherine Neal, who goes by Betsy, were bridesmaids — all dressed in navy blue, and carrying white bouquets. The groom’s brother, Robert Neal, was the best man. The wedding was presided over by two officiants: Monsignor John P. Hopkins and Rev. Dr. Paul E. Hayden. Four flower girls and a ring bearer accompanied the couple.
Peter and Naomi, both lawyers, met on a date arranged by a mutual friend in 2018 and have been living on the third floor of the White House. They exchanged vows they wrote themselves.
