The News-Journal of Wilmington reported that the couple exchanged vows at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine church, where Ashley was baptized. It was a joint Jewish-Catholic ceremony, followed by a reception at the Biden residence in Greenville.

Jill Biden said that Krein spends two weeks a year in Belize performing reconstructive surgery on children with facial deformities.

“Howard is the perfect guy,” Jill Biden said. “He’s perfect for Ashley.”

Barack and Michelle Obama are not among the 200 guests invited to the wedding.
