On the Tuesday evening before her wedding, under the watchful eye of a Secret Service agent, Naomi Biden and Peter Neal came downstairs from their living quarters on the third floor of the White House residence to practise their first dance.
Mia and Asha, Naomi’s two best friends and classmates from Sidwell Friends, have come down from New York for the occasion and are acting as ladies-in-waiting – cooing over how majestic she looks and offering bottled water with a straw so as not to disrupt the bride’s make-up. It was Mia, also an attorney, who introduced Naomi to Peter at her house in East Hampton in June 2018.
At the White House, as a magnificent sunset outlines the Washington Monument in shades of lavender and pink, Naomi’s two little sisters, Finnegan, 22, and Maisy, 21, shuffle into the Blue Room where everyone is oohing over the cloudscape. They have their hands over their eyes and so move a little clumsily in their sweatsuits. “We don’t want to see the dress before!” the sisters chime.
She isn’t but will be soon. Dr Biden is teaching today and coming straight back to change into her gold embroidered seafoam blue Reem Acra dress and glittering Jimmy Choo pumps that she will be wearing to the reception .
