It’s the beginning of a weekend of celebration for Biden, who is celebrating the occasion with a birthday celebration on Sunday by his family.
Since former president John Adams moved into the newly built White House in 1800, the 18 weddings that took place there usually included the family members of the first lady and president.
Based on the White House Historical Association, the tradition started in 1812, when Lucy Payne Washington, the sister of the First Lady Dolley Madison, got married to Supreme Court Associate Justice Thomas Todd.
Grover Cleveland is the only president who has married at the White House. He was married to Frances Folsom in 1886 in the Blue Room.
Naomi Biden is the daughter of the president’s son Hunter Biden and his first wife, Kathleen Buhle.
Jill Biden’s communications director, Elizabeth Alexander, said the Biden family will cover the wedding celebrations that will take place at the White House, “consistent with other private events held by the Biden family and following the tradition of prior White House wedding festivities in the previous administrations.”
Contrary to past events, these were not open to the media.
“Naomi as well as Peter have requested that their wedding not be open to the media and we’re observing their desires. This is something the couple has made a decision on,” White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said to reporters on Friday.
