People get married everyday. Some weddings are on the beach in Cordova Bay, at a big fancy church downtown or a fancy hotel in the Inner Harbour — others fly off to a destination wedding in Maui.

Victoria’s Marv Nicholson had a pretty classic wedding this weekend.

They flew off to the bride’s hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Friends and family came from all over to support them on their special day, as one would expect at most nuptials. His brother, Walt Nicholson at his side as best man, his mother (Liz Beatty) flying in from Victoria for the wedding.

Oh, and his groomsman had to fly in as well. On Air Force One.

Marv has worked for President Obama as an aide for the last 8 years and they do a lot of golfing together. So naturally, Barack Obama was one of Marv’s groomsmen. And Secretary of State John Kerry officiated the wedding. Marv Nicholson worked for John Kerry for 6 years before working with Obama.
