Naomi Biden will become the first member of the presidential family to celebrate her wedding at the White House since Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of then-President George W. Bush, who got married in June 2008 after holding a ceremony in Texas.

“Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House. We can’t wait to make our commitment to one another official and for what lies ahead,” tweeted Naomi Biden.
