When the President completed his game at the 18th hole, he walked over to the wedding ceremony and posed for photos with the groom, Brian Tobe, and his bride-to-be, Stephanie, who was so shocked and excited that she started to cry, NBC San Diego reports. I was like, you know what…
As they waited for Obama to come down, Youngren said, “I realized the couple is upstairs; that’s where the story actually is”. Her wedding dress included a long lace train.
“Stephanie was like, ‘We’re going to go do this, ‘” Youngren recalled, and “She bolted out the door”.
The bride and groom watched Obama from the windows of a hotel overlooking the 18th green of the picturesque course, which hugs the Pacific Ocean coastline. “We literally ran down an aisle of friends to the president”.
The couple was holding the ceremony at the Torrey Pines Golf Course, and Obama just happened to be playing a round of gold on the same day.
And as the meeting unfolded, Youngren captured the unforgettable moment on camera. There, he took “some time” to shake hands with and greet families and members of the armed services before boarding Air Force One and taking off that same afternoon.

“He said congrats and good luck”, Stephanie said.
