Another reason to love the Obamas! Barack and Michelle Obama sent the sweetest reply to an adorable couple who sent the former first family an invitation to their wedding.
Liz Whitlow, the mother of Brook Allen, the bride-to-be, mailed the invitation of her daughter’s wedding to Eddie Edgar in March and received a thoughtful response from the Obamas on Monday, July 31.
“Congratulations on your wedding,” the letter reads. “We hope that your marriage is blessed with love, laughter, and happiness and that your bond grows stronger with each passing year. This occasion marks the beginning of a lifelong partnership, and as you embark on this journey, know you have our very best for the many joys and adventures that lie ahead.”
