President Obama’s golf game Sunday forced Army Captains Natalie Heimel and her fiancé, Edward Mallue Jr. to relocate their wedding ceremony.
The lovebirds were set to wed Sunday at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course, located on the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, until they learned Obama had his eye on the same course and they would need to find a new spot for their nuptials.
“In less than 24 hours they had to change everything they had planned,” the groom’s sister told Bloomberg News.
Instead, they held the ceremony on green lawn on the base that offered views of the Pacific coastline.
Obama spent most of the afternoon on Sunday at the base golf course, in the company of golf partners Mike Ramos, Greg Orme and Bobby Titcomb.
But upon learning how the scheduling snafu interrupted the military wedding, Obama reached out to the bride and groom to apologize.
The gesture seemed to smooth over any hard feelings.
"Obama just personally called my sister & her new husband to apologize for foiling their wedding venue golfing. Amazing!" the bride's sister tweeted, posting an Instagram shot of the newlyweds chatting with the President on their iPhone.
Several other wedding guests also shared social media snaps of the incident, using the hashtag #ThanksObama.
The President has spent nine days in Hawaii for his holiday break.
He has golfed six times so far.
