While President-elect Donald Trump spent the weekend in a fit of Twitter rage over Meryl Streep's Golden Globes speech, President Obama spent Saturday night attending the wedding of one of his personal aides, Marvin Nicholson, as a groomsman.
Nicholson and now wife Helen Pajcic invited the Commander-in-chief to assume the additional title of groomsman at their wedding in Florida over the weekend.

Aside from being a longtime aide to Obama during his time in office, Nicholson has also been a personal friend and occasional golf partner to the POTUS during his time working in the administration.
Both Nicholson and his wife worked on Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and Pajcic also has worked in the Obama administration, most recently on policy at the U.S. Department of Education.
Not only was the couple confident in inviting President Obama to be a groomsman and guest at the wedding in his final weeks in office, they also had United States Secretary of State John Kerry officiate the ceremony.
Obama arrived at the wedding accompanied by a number of personal aides and secret servicemen, all dressed appropriately in tuxedos to attend the event.
The evening before the wedding, Obama hosted a farewell bash at the White House with big name celebrities in attendance including Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Usher.
Obama was looking very dapper and cheery at the wedding ceremony despite reportedly leaving the party held in his honour at 4am.
