Everything we know so far about Naomi Biden's White House wedding

Neal graduated from law school at the University of Pennsylvania in May. During his studies, he completed externships at the National Security Division of the Department of Justice and the US House General Counsel's Office.

Biden graduated from Columbia Law School in 2020 and works as an associate attorney at Arnold & Porter, a law firm in Washington, DC. She is Hunter Biden's eldest daughter and one of the president's seven grandchildren.

The couple met in New York City on a date set up by a mutual friend, according to CNN.

They've also collaborated on legal matters before, creating the online My CARES Act Benefits quiz to help people and small businesses determine their eligibility for COVID-19-related government aid.

Neal proposed near his childhood home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the White House told People magazine in April.

"Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House," Biden tweeted on April 4. "We can't wait to make our commitment to one another official and for what lies ahead."

Biden tweeted on Thursday that "much to the relief of Secret Service and with the dogs' endorsement…we'll be getting married on the South Lawn! Couldn't be more excited."

The South Lawn hosts celebratory gatherings like the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, as well as official functions like a recent event marking the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in July.

"I can assure it to you that taxpayer dollars would not go to that," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a briefing on Thursday. "Look, that is a personal affair that's happening — that is not White House business."

There have been 18 documented weddings at the White House hosted by presidents and first ladies, according to the White House Historical Association. Most recently, President Barack Obama hosted the wedding of his official White House photographer Pete Souza to Patti Lease in the Rose Garden in 2013.

President Richard Nixon held the first outdoor White House wedding for his daughter Tricia and Edward Finch Cox in the Rose Garden in 1971, followed by a reception in the East Room.
