*On Saturday, President Barack Obama carved time out of his very busy schedule to appear as a groomsman in the Jacksonville, Fla. wedding of his longtime staffer, White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson.
The bride was Helen Pajcic, who worked on Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008, according to The Florida Times-Union.
A pic tweeted by local reporter Steven Dial of First Coast News shows the leader of the free world suited and standing alongside fellow groomsman as the couple took their vows.
