Obama poses for wedding photos with California couple

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama played an unexpected starring role in a Southern California wedding over the weekend when he ended a round of golf and posed for photos with a bride and groom.

Obama was playing golf on Sunday at the world famous Torrey Pines course in San Diego's upscale La Jolla neighborhood, where Brian Tobe and his bride, Stephanie Mirkin, were getting married, the couple's wedding photographer, Jeff Youngren, said in an email.

The couple delayed their ceremony so the president could finish his game at the 18th hole, in front of where the wedding was set to take place, according to a blog written by their other photographer, Erin Youngren.
