Joe Biden explains how he married Jill Biden: ‘I asked her 5 times’
A heartwarming video of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden narrating their love story has captured the internet’s attention.
A video shared on Instagram by ‘Meet Cuties NYC’ on Valentine’s Day shows how America’s first couple met.
In the video, Joe Biden said that they initially met at a blind date organized by his brother. “My brother called me and said, I go to school with this woman. You’ll love her, she’s beautiful and she doesn’t like politics,” Joe Biden said.
Jill said, “He called me on a Saturday afternoon, and he said, you know it’s Joe Biden, and I said how did you get my number? Then he said, do you want to go out tonight? I Said, I’m sorry, I already have a date. He said, well, will you break it? I’m only for one night, so I said, OK, call me back in two hours and I I’ll see what I can do.
“She broke the date, but she didn’t break my heart,” Joe Biden said, placing his hand on his wife’s shoulder.
The US President said that after their second date he realized that he wanted to marry Jill.
The First Lady shared her side of the story, revealing that Joe asked her to marry him five times before she finally agreed.
Reflecting on the commitment of marriage, Jill stressed, “You have to remember. I mean, it wasn’t just my heart that was with Beau and Hunter. I knew if we were going to get married, So it had to work out. It had to last forever because they had already lost their mother and sister in a car accident, and I knew they couldn’t lose anyone else in their lives. So here we are. ‘It’s forever, it’s 48 years later.’
