D.C. Brides Hoping for Surprise Appearance from the Obamas at their Weddings

Way back when our Commander-in-Chief was still referred to as “President Elect” we told all you patriotic brides out there exactly how to invite President Barack Obama to your wedding. Apparently you did just that – and told a friend, or two. According to a recent article on Politico.com, the White House has received thousands of wedding invitations for the Obamas, and many of the brides (especially locally) are kinda-sorta-hoping they might really come.

“It doesn’t even faze us when we see the Obamas on a guest list these days,” District Weddings blog editor and event planner Devon Pearce told the site. “We don’t even wonder why they’re doing it. It’s just another invitation to send.”

That is unless of course you’re banking on the fact that the Obamas are probably the most down-to-earth duo to ever call the White House home.

Pearce says that she and other local planners refuse to tell their clients it’s an impossibility for that very fact.

“There’s a lot of glamour surrounding the Obamas,” she said. “And they do socialize a lot and have this habit of randomly showing up to places where everyday people are.”

Wouldn’t that be one heck of a surprise wedding present? I wouldn’t put it past this dynamic duo. Do you think they’d ever show? Oh, and did you invite them to your wedding? Have you gotten anything back yet? (You were supposed to get signed response at the least.) Talk to me gals!
