Biden to host White House wedding reception for granddaughter
President Joe Biden and the First Lady are to host a rare wedding reception at the White House for their granddaughter, Naomi.
The eldest Biden grandchild, 28, and her fiancé, Peter Neal , 24, will celebrate at perhaps The Most exclusive venue in the US.
Ms Biden said she was " endlessly grateful" to her " Nana and Pop" for the honour.
Four other wedding receptions have ever been held at the presidential home.
Ms Biden, a graduate of Columbia Law School and The Daughter of Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle , announced her engagement to Mr Neal, a law student at the University of Pennsylvania, in September.
Ms Biden will only be the fifth bride to have a White House wedding reception, to be held in November. The previous one took place in 2008, when Jenna Bush Hager, Daughter of former president George W Bush, celebrated a month after she was wed in Texas.
It has actually been more common to hold wedding ceremonies themselves at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - There have been 18 in total.
Since The First White House wedding in 1812 - Between the sister of First Lady Dolley Madison and Thomas Todd - Most have involved close Family Members of The First couple.
The Wedding of Nellie Grant , Daughter of President Ulysses S Grant, in May 1874, was seen as The Most elaborate event ever held at the White House at The Time .
Two hundred and fifty guests gathered in the East Room , decorated with masses of white flowers and Nellie's white satin dress fell into a six-foot train. Still, like many weddings, it was also a stressful affair. Mr and Mrs Grant were said to be concerned about their 19-year-old Daughter 's wedding to Algernon Sartoris, a diplomat.
One sitting president has said " I do" at the White House: President Grover Cleveland wed Frances Folson in The Blue Room in June 1886.
Other recent White House weddings have included those of Lynda Bird Johnson - Daughter of President Lyndon Johnson - who married Charles Spittal Robb in a grand event in the East Room in 1967. In 1971, Tricia Nixon - Daughter of President Richard Nixon and Pat Nixon , was The First to hold A Wedding in the White House Rose Garden .
The latest White House wedding, in 2013, was one of just three not involving family of The President . Pete Souza , who was chief White House photographer under President Barack Obama , married fiancée Pattie Lease in the Rose Garden .
