Photos: President Obama & his family attend his chef's wedding

What a lucky man. Imagine the President of the United States, the First Lady and their kids attending your wedding. Yesterday August 30th, president Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters, Sasha and Malia flew from Washington to New York to attend the wedding of the White House assistant chef and their longtime family chef and close friend, Sam Kass (top right), who married MSNBC host Alex Wagner (bottom right).

Kass began cooking for the Obamas when they lived in Chicago before Obama became president, and in 2009 they persuaded him to come to the White House. Obama even attended Sam's bachelor party last week. See photos of their arrival in NY after the cut.

Be great at what you do and kings would want to associate with you. If the guy wasn't a good chef, Obama would have done away with him since. Excellence brings about relevance.

Inspiring. How down to earth. On a lighter note, the "yes we tan" suit would have been more appropriate for this occasion, lol. I guess obama and Omoni's stylist both went on vacation.

Benue state governor went to his aide's wedding and even stood in as best man. I think GEJ went to an aide's wedding too or was it thanksgiving celebration, whatever! My point kudos to the Obamas but this ain't new. Just big people trying to act simple.

He's very handsome with very well defined arms. I'm sure this a wedding between the wealthy because the bride makes nice dough as a national TV personality. That the groom is called a chef shows he's also extremely well paid for his cooking talents. Money married money. It'd be remarkable if he was called a cook and the Obamas atttended his wedding. Lol. Cooks are low end. Chefs are not.

I'm currently in Westchester county, NY for my cousin's wedding wkend. After the reception, I couldn't use the highway back to my hotel cos it was closed off (Patience Jonathan style) cos the Obamas were there and some nut had threatened them the day they flew in. It was a little inconvenient. It's never happened to me b4 and I've lived in the DC area for over a decade. It reminded me of Naija a little #Umissthegoodandthebad

Look at the beautiful Obama girl. Simple dressing, no make up, flat shoes, nice stature etc, unlike our politician children here, with very high heel shoes, see true dresses, heavy make up and very fat.

Nigerians i ope you're seeing?see super simplicity for dressing and all for a whole president of the United States wife and children....If na us now,na the whole designer wears for this world we go wear resemble ekpo calabar...God help and save us from inferiority complex that makes us want to always overdo.

Better family. See how they dressed moderately so that the chef can feel comfortable and not take the chef's day of attention from him (chef).

Are u trying to compare his aides to a chef, this is synonymous to GEJ or any Nigerian president attending his cook's wedding. The best they'd get is prolly wedding gifts, no presence. So till GEJ does same, pls don't compare yet
