A bride and groom took a gamble when it came to their guest list, and it partially paid off.
Liz Whitlow sent a wedding invitation to Barack and Michelle Obama. The invite went out a few months ago, but Monday, she got a surprise in the mail: a congratulatory note from the former president and first lady, the "Today" show reported.
Her daughter, Brooke, posted the response to Twitter.

This isn’t the first time a wedding surprise was connected to Barack and Michelle Obama.
The former president crashed a wedding in San Diego. He was at the hotel playing golf in 2015.
He also served as groomsman for a friend and former aide earlier this year.
President Obama was a groomsman last night in Jacksonville. John Kerry officiated. The bride and groom had some BIG names. @FCN2go pic.twitter.com/d0YkFSW6ZX

Just an ordinary wedding? Look more closely. That's John Kerry officiating, and President Obama as a groomsman. pic.twitter.com/6SPw15FRpP
