Jill Biden 'lost sleep' over Naomi Biden's idea to serve turkey sandwiches at her wedding lunch
International1 min read
  • Naomi Biden said Jill Biden "lost sleep" because Naomi wanted to serve turkey sandwiches at her wedding lunch.
  • Eventually, the lunch menu was amended, switching out turkey sandwiches in favor of chicken pot pie.

Naomi Biden revealed her grandmother — first lady Jill Biden — "lost sleep" over the fact that she wanted to serve turkey sandwiches at her wedding lunch.

Speaking to Vogue about her November 19 wedding at the White House, Naomi Biden explained how she planned a lot of her wedding with her "Nana."

"I do know she lost sleep over the fact that I was planning to serve turkey sandwiches at the lunch," Naomi Biden told Vogue.

The lunch menu was later amended, Vogue reported, ditching the offending turkey sandwiches for chicken pot pie as a surprise for Naomi Biden's father, Hunter Biden, who loves the dish.

Aside from the turkey sandwich dust-up, Jill Biden helped Naomi Biden focus on wedding planning and stay calm during the stressful months leading up to the event.

"She has really stressed to me that every time I get anxious about wedding stuff to take a breath and remember that it's just a day about Peter and me and being around the people we love," Naomi Biden told Vogue.

"She's taught me so much about being independent and self-sufficient. But that doesn't mean you can't also be a selfless and fiercely loyal partner."

Vogue reported that when they asked Jill Biden if she had any marriage advice for her granddaughter, she told Naomi Biden only to "maintain your independence."
