Joe Biden: Grandfather and President
The President and the teacher write: “Congratulations, Naomi and Peter! We love you.” It was the first time a president’s granddaughter had been allowed to wed in the famous Washington DC building. According to the White House Neal and Biden tied the knot at 11 a.m. on the South Lawn of the White House in the presence of around 250 guests.
It was a joy for the US President and First Lady to watch Naomi grow, discover who she is and build such an incredible life. “We are proud that she has chosen Peter to be her husband,” they said. It is an honor for both of them to welcome him into their family. “We wish them days of laughter and a love that grows with each passing year,” the White House website said.
For Joe Biden, it’s just one of two celebratory occasions this weekend. On Sunday (November 20th) the President turned 80 years old.
