AL.com - Brides and grooms usually plan their wedding down to the smallest detail. What a couple getting married in Hawaii recently probably didn't plan on was a presidential golf trip forcing them to move their nuptials.
Edward Mallue Jr. and Natalie Heimel - both Army captains - were set to get married Sunday at Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course, Bloomberg reports. The military golf course is near the Kailua home rented by the Obama's for their family vacation.
On Saturday, the couple was told they'd have to move their wedding away from the 16th hole because the president and a group of friends would be playing golf. The couple was aware the president was in town, having earlier sent him a letter inviting him to the ceremony. He declined, but did send his congratulations.
It wasn't until later they learned they would be moving their ceremony because of the president's visit.
The White House said Obama wasn't aware of the incident and later called the bride to apologize and offer congratulations, the report notes.
The couple, who are stationed in Hawaii, ended up getting married on the lawn near the home of the base's commanding officer.
