Annie Haslam, daughter of Tennessee Gov. Bill HaslamIt took President Barack Obama - speaking during a nationally televised White House event on Friday no less - to let the cat out of the bag that Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's daughter, Annie Haslam, is getting married today.
Democrat Obama thanked the Republican governor for joining an announcement about education, although he noted Haslam obviously has some other things on his platter.
"I'm especially appreciative because I found out that his daughter is getting married, and he is doing the ceremony tomorrow," Obama said. "So we've got to get him back on time."
Indeed, Annie Haslam and David Colquitt are scheduled to tie the knot at 5 p.m. CDT at the governor's residence. The couple met while attending Princeton University, according to their wedding website.
Asked for elaborate about the festivities, the governor said, "I'll leave that one alone," but confirmed he will be performing the ceremony.
The rehearsal dinner was slated for Friday night at the exclusive Belle Meade Country Club.
