Wedding Moved Due to Obama Golf Round

An Army captain and her groom-to-be had to move their wedding because President Barack Obama was golfing on the Hawaii course where the ceremony was being held, a friend of the couple said. "It was emotional, especially for her -- she's the bride and in less than 24 hours they had to change everything they had planned," said Jamie McCarthy, the groom's sister. Natalie Heimel and Ed Mallue Jr. found an "equally beautiful" spot at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, a friend said. Obama called the bride, an Army officer in Hawaii, after learning of the situation. "He apologized and congratulated them," said Jamie McCarthy, Mallue's sister. "We were all there, it was perfect. Made their day."
