Honolulu: A couple getting married near President Barack Obama's vacation spot in Hawaii learned the hard way that the big day rarely goes exactly as planned.
The bride and groom - both US Army captains - were scheduled to tie the knot on Sunday at Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course, a military course with ocean views near Obama's rented vacation home in Kailua.
But on Saturday, they were told they'd have to move their wedding away from the 16th hole because Obama and his friends planned to golf.
A person familiar with the incident said the White House didn't learn about the conflict until after the fact. The person said Obama called the bride to apologize and to offer his congratulations. The person wasn't authorised to comment publicly and requested anonymity.
