Joe Biden's eldest granddaughter Naomi Biden will have a White House wedding to marry her fiancé Peter Neal.

First Lady Jill Biden's communications director Elizabeth Alexander confirmed to CNN that a White House wedding is set for November 19. "The first family, the couple, and their parents are still in the planning stages of all of the wedding festivities and look forward to announcing further details in the coming months," Alexander said, per reporter Kate Bennett.

In July, Naomi noted that their ceremony will be on the South Lawn.

CNN reported that the wedding will be three parts: An 11 a.m. ceremony on the South Lawn; a luncheon for just the family and wedding party in the White House; and a reception of dessert and dancing in the evening for all the guests. They will be the first couple to marry on the South Lawn.

Their wedding planner is Bryan Rafanelli, founder of Rafanelli Events, who also planned Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010.

Two days before the wedding, Peter shared a snap of the engaged couple getting their wedding license at the Washington D.C. Marriage Bureau:

Naomi and Peter first shared the happy news of their engagement on Instagram over Labor Day weekend last year, with a photo taken in Peter's hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Naomi simply captioned the post, which shows off her stunning new ring, "Forever,"—and the comment section quickly filled with congratulatory messages for the Columbia Law School graduate and her husband-to-be. The engagement ring incorporates the band of Peter's grandmother's engagement ring, and was designed by a D.C. jeweler.

Naomi is the oldest daughter of the President's son Hunter Biden and his ex, Kathleen Buhle. She currently lives in Washington, D.C., and actually moved into the White House last August, according to CNN. In November 2022, New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers also reported that Naomi and Peter have been living at the White House with President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

Even before popping the question, Peter was already getting accustomed to being a part of a political family. Last year, he accompanied Naomi to Joe Biden's inauguration.

The happy couple will join a long tradition of wedding receptions in the White House. Most recently Jenna Bush, the daughter of George W. Bush, had her reception at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a month after she officially tied the knot.
