The Tobes, who have been together for eight years, wed at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California, Sunday. While they knew Obama would be golfing nearby that day, they had no idea he would come meet them before the ceremony.
"So one photographer, Erin, she was down talking on the lawn and our photographer, Jeff, was up with us in the suite.
And they’re talking to each other, and saying things, like 'Oh. this might be the one chance; you’ve got to go now.'" "Stephanie was like, 'We're going to go do this,'" Youngren recalled, and "She bolted out the door."
"I think he [Obama] saw us coming from a distance and kind of paused," Youngren said. Stephanie added, "It was so cool because all of our friends were screaming and cheering for us. They weren’t even looking at the president, they were looking at us.
It was so exciting. And we just ran out across through the crowd and got up to the president and got to shake his hand." "As we were running out there, I started crying ... It was an emotional experience and then to see the sitting president there was even wilder," she said.

"I think it was our first marriage advice," Brian said. "I still can't believe it happened. It was not what we expected when we woke up that morning," he said.
It made me really hopeful and excited, and just proud to have him as a leader," Youngren said. The newlyweds will be spending their honeymoon in Obama’s home state of Hawaii.
