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.
"Then he finishes his game and goes down to the lawn area, which is where our ceremony was," Stephanie told ABC News.
She said all her 60 wedding guests lined up to shake his hand.
"Our photographers, they had earpieces in, talking to each other," Stephanie said. "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."
"Once I heard that that there might be an opportunity to even just say hi, shake his hand or even try to take a picture, we darted," Stephanie said. "We ran to the closest elevator, got downstairs and I picked up my huge dress and I just started running across the lawn to get over to the president.”
