WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are hosting a rare White House wedding reception for their eldest granddaughter. “Consistent with other private events hosted by the First Family and following the traditions of previous White House wedding festivities in prior Administrations, the Biden family will be paying for the wedding activities that occur at the White House,” LaRosa said. There's a long but exclusive history of weddings at the White House -- 18 couples have been documented tying the knot. Other recent wedding ceremonies have been held elsewhere, with only the reception on White House grounds. George W. Bush's daughter Jenna Bush married Henry Hager in Texas in 2008, heading to the White House the next month for a reception.
