The 12 Best Wedding Guest Purses

The 12 Best Wedding Guest Purses No matter the dress code, season, or venue, you're sure to find a wedding-approved accessory you love on this list of the best wedding guest purses.Having attended many weddings (and danced to many a rendition of “Twist and Shout”), I’ve bought my fair share of handbags for wedding guests. As it turns out, the best wedding guest purses have a lot in common with what many of us look for in a potential life partner: adaptability, a style that complements yours, knows when to make a statement and when to play a supporting role... Anyway, while I may not be able to help you shop for a life partner, I can help you find a wedding guest bag you’ll love.

President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden's granddaughter Naomi Biden married Peter Neal at the White House on November 19.

My divorce rebound turned into my husband. We've been happily married for 7 years.

My divorce rebound turned into my husband. We've been happily married for 7 years. When she got divorced a few months after her wedding, the author intended to have as much fun as possible. She fell in love quickly.While that may sound scandalous, the story of how we fell in love is less about infidelity and more about how sometimes the universe gets a kick out of making you take a detour on your way to your destination.

While the wedding itself was closed to the press, Naomi and the first lady spoke with Vogue in the days leading up to the celebration for a cover story published Tuesday.

Naomi shared that her "Nana" was "super involved" in the wedding planning, much of which took place over SoulCycle classes and evening glasses of wine.

"She has really stressed to me that every time I get anxious about wedding stuff to take a breath and remember that it's just a day about Peter and me and being around the people we love," Naomi told the magazine. "She's taught me so much about being independent and self-sufficient. But that doesn't mean you can't also be a selfless and fiercely loyal partner."

      27 Long-Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses to Look Chic While Warding Off the Chill

      27 Long-Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses to Look Chic While Warding Off the Chill You’ve RSVP-ed to the invite and got your date lined up, but wondering what to wear to a fall or winter wedding? No worries, there’s a long-sleeve wedding guest dress that’ll be as fun as any strappy summer look, but suitably covered up for the season. Especially appropriate for evening weddings, most long-sleeve wedding guest dresses skew toward the more formal, but even the most basic black look can be jazzed up with colorful accessories and dare we say it, a feathered evening bag. Here’s our 27 picks for the dresses that will get you noticed as a guest of stye and distinction.

    President Joe Biden's granddaughter, Naomi Biden, got married at the White House on November 19 to Peter Neal. Their wedding, which took place on the South Lawn, was the 19th wedding at the historic home.

    "Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House," Naomi Biden tweeted on April 4.

    The presidential mansion has been a symbol of the US president's executive authority since John Adams and first lady Abigail moved in 218 years ago. Its iconic porticos, halls, and rooms have witnessed several administrations and countless guests, including tourists, celebrities, and heads of state. Past presidents have called it "the best public housing" and a "gilded cage".

    After receiving either a high-profile invitation to an official event or clearance from a local representative for a tour, visitors to the mansion might be surprised at its modest scale, especially compared to the massive monuments and museums that sit a few blocks away.

    6 Ways To Have An Eco-Friendly Wedding

    6 Ways To Have An Eco-Friendly Wedding Congratulations! You and your beloved have decided to say "I do" while treading lightly on Mother Earth. Here are six ways to have an eco-friendly wedding.In the United States, the average wedding will produce an astonishing 400 pounds of trash and emit over 60 tons of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas (via Zero Waste). Americans already produce three times the amount of garbage compared to the global average (via Verisk Maplecroft), which means the choices you make on your special day really do make a difference.

Biden also shared the marriage advice she gave her granddaughter: "Maintain your independence."

That advice appears to have worked well for the president and first lady, who have been married for 45 years. It is the second marriage for both. The president lost his first wife and daughter in a 1972 car crash. Jill Biden divorced her first husband after five years and married Joe Biden two years later.

Jill Biden felt "lost" when her first marriage ended, she wrote in her book "Where the Light Enters," explaining they were young and quickly grew apart.

"It was at this point that I learned how essential it is to be financially independent, especially as a woman," she wrote. "My daughter would tell you that I drilled this message into her from an early age."

Jill Biden has a doctorate in education and fulfills her duties as first lady in between the writing classes she teaches at Northern Virginia Community College. Her stamp on the role is groundbreaking as the first president's wife to continue her professional career as first lady.

She wrote that she stresses this message of independence to the women in her class and the young female students that she mentors. "That, and the fact that you can't always prepare for what life brings you," she wrote.
