It has been nearly a full year since Naomi Biden first got engaged to her longtime partner Peter Neal, and her White House wedding is now nearly upon us! Naomi is the oldest granddaughter of President Joe Biden, and the daughter of his son Hunter Biden.

They will be tying the not on November 19, and Biden has reportedly hired Bryan Rafanelli to manage the wedding. Rafanelli is a well-known Democratic event and fundraiser planner who also planned Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky in 2010.

More recently, Rafanelli also planned fundraising parties while Pete Buttigieg was running for President in 2020, and has done other jobs for local governments, including doing a review of Boston’s tourism office at the request of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh.

Neal and Biden met around 2018 in New York City. They are both politically active and recent law school graduates now working as practicing lawyers. Neal even interned for the Barack Obama White House and Hilary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

This will be the first wedding to take place at the White House for years. While Laura Bush, the daughter of George W. Bush, had her reception there, the last wedding was in 1971 when President Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia Nixon Cox got married there.
