Washington: Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, married Peter Neal on Nov. 19 in front of 250 guests, right on the South Lawn. It marked the 19th time that the White House has been used for a wedding and the first time one took place in that specific outdoor area, per CNN.

"It has been a joy to watch Naomi grow, discover who she is, and carve out such an incredible life for herself," the President and First Lady said in a White House statement. "Now, we are filled with pride to see her choose Peter as her husband and we're honored to welcome him to our family. We wish them days full of laughter and a love that grows deeper with every passing year."

The sources also said that Naomi's parents, the president's son Hunter Biden and ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, walked their daughter down the aisle as a band played The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Naomi, 28, wore a long-sleeved, lace, high-neck Ralph Lauren bridal gown with a veil and train, the sources told CNN.

Saturday’s event took place almost entirely out of the public eye. The event was closed to the media.

A photo of the married couple with the President and First Lady was shared on her Instagram, with the caption, "Congratulations Naomi and Peter! We love you."

After the couple exchanged vows, the President and First Lady hosted a wedding luncheon for family and the wedding party in the State Dining Room of the White House. A reception with dessert and dancing is planned for later in the evening. The wedding celebration lasted all day.

The White House Historical Association said 18 weddings have been performed at the mansion, including those of Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia in 1971 and Barack Obama's official photographer, Pete Souza, in 2013.
