Obama was finishing up his golf outing at the same time Stephanie and Brian were having their ceremony at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, KSWB reported.

After he was done, he shook hands, greeting the crowd.

Youngren asked a Secret Service agent if the president would take a photo with the bride and groom.

And he did. As he shook the couple's hands, he apologized for delaying the ceremony, Youngren posted on her site.

The president then allowed the newlyweds to get a quick hug and photo to make their memorable day a once-in-a-lifetime event.
