Weeks afterJoe Biden’s administration unveiled further details about granddaughterNaomi’s November wedding celebration comes word of another ceremony — this one atthe vice president’s residence.
Th 62-year-old Lujan Grisham is the first Democratic Latina to be elected governor in U.S. history and previously served as Congress.
According toher official bio, she is a 12th-generation New Mexican, has two adult children and is a grandmother of three, as well as the caretaker for her mother, Sonja.
Lujan Grisham’s first husband, Gregory, died of an aneurysm while jogging in 2004, theJournalreports.
She and Cordova’s wedding was set to be held much earlier but, due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, was postponed. In a joint statement sent to theJournalthis week, the couple said they were “delighted to celebrate our wedding in front of family and close friends. Like so many New Mexicans, we’ve postponed family celebrations over the past two years during this pandemic. We feel fortunate to be with our loved ones in celebration of our marriage.”
Per theJournal, the couple is planning a separate event in New Mexico following their wedding.
The news of the Naval Observatory ceremony comes shortly after the administration said Naomi Biden will celebrate her own nuptials at the White House in November.
The 28-year-old daughter of President Biden’s sonHuntertweeted the news earlier this month,writing, “[My fiancé] Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House. We can’t wait to make our commitment to one another official and for what lies ahead.”
As Elizabeth Alexander, the communications director for Dr.Jill Biden, told PEOPLE in an earlier statement, “The President and First Lady will host the wedding reception for their granddaughter Naomi Biden and her fiancée Peter Neal at the White House on November 19, 2022. The First Family, the couple, and their parents are still in the planning stages of all of the wedding festivities and look forward to announcing further details in the coming months.”
