Stephanie and Brian Tobe were given a surprise of a lifetime when President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at their wedding ceremony at the 18th hole where Obama was wrapping up his golf game.
Upon realizing that the country's most powerful man was using the last hole, the duo was more than happy to delay their ceremony and watch him from the hotel balcony as he played through.
When the president was done with his game, he went on to greet the bystanders including the couple's friends Erin and Jeff Youngren.
The joyful couple took this opportunity to take photos with Obama.
"Nothing about this presidential drop-in negatively impacted the day," said Youngren on her website.
Though they started their ceremony late to accommodate Obama, they were able to make up for the lost time.
"In fact, the mood became so fun, laid back, and celebratory, that it was one of the most joyful weddings we've ever been at, ever. We easily made up the timeline with the cocktail hour, we were able to get better sunset photos, and in the end, things didn't run late at all."
"It was a life moment that none of us will ever forget." She added.
So how did Obama treat the couple after he made an unexpected appearance at their function?
"President Obama was kind and wonderful," Youngren also said.
"When he shook Brian and Stephanie's hands, he apologized for delaying the ceremony and then shared some advice with Brian, who is also from Chicago." She added.
