Naomi Biden’s White House wedding: in pictures

Wedding bells are ringing! President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi, was treated to a White House wedding to Peter Neal over the weekend. The ceremony was the nineteenth White House wedding — and the first for a presidential family member held on the grounds since the Clinton era.

Naomi’s nuptials come just a week after Tiffany Trump’s private wedding in Mar-a-Lago. And the pair have more than November weddings in common: Tiffany and Naomi overlapped at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, the Ivy League college that Donald Trump attended. Cockburn’s spies claim they even used to be spotted at the same parties.

The Biden wedding was also a strictly behind-closed-doors affair. Here’s Cockburn’s round-up of the best pictures he could scrounge together:

The bride wore a custom Ralph Lauren Collection gown made of Chantilly lace and Tiffany & co. jewelry.

There were around 250 guests. Somehow, Cockburn wasn’t invited — but even if he was, there’s no chance he’d pass the background checks needed for invited guests to get in. Also, smoking is banned (how dare they).

At least Joe Biden’s presence in the White House is beneficial to someone. But the wedding has faced criticism with the main question of “who’s paying?” According to the FLOTUS’s spokeswoman, the answer is the Biden family. Reports suggest the bill comes to around $300,000.

Hunter Biden was noticeably absent from the pictures, but according to CNN he and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle walked their daughter down the aisle to “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by the Verve, a song which opens with the following couplet:

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, that’s life
Tryna make ends meet, you’re a slave to money then you die

How romantic!
