Bree and Jean Woodrum, a delightful couple, decided on a whim to send wedding invites to some famous folks, including Michelle and Barack Obama. What happened next is quite a charming surprise – the Obamas sent back a response!
Bree was organizing her wedding to Jean for September 2, 2023. With some extra invitations in hand, she thought, why not send them to some celebrities? Barack Obama was at the top of her list. He's a significant figure for them, having legalized gay marriage, which directly impacts their lives.
Bree’s idea wasn't just a shot in the dark. She'd seen others online receive responses from celebrities for various celebrations, and figured it was worth a try. Several months later, Bree, who lives in Richmond, VA., received an unexpected and exciting piece of mail from the former President and First Lady.
In a video on TikTok, Bree shared her excitement about receiving a letter from the Obamas. The envelope, with Barack's presidential stamp and signature, was quite a sight. The real thrill came when Jean returned home, and they opened the letter together.
The message from the Obamas was warm and congratulatory, wishing Bree and Jean a marriage filled with love and happiness. The personal touch? The Obamas' signatures were handwritten.
This adorable story blew up online. Bree's video got millions of views, and the comments were full of excitement and congratulations. It was a small, playful gesture of sending out the invites that turned into a memorable and heartwarming story for Bree and Jean.
