According to ABC, Peter proposed to Naomi, who was introduced to him by friends around four years ago, during the Labor Day weekend of 2021, in his hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They announced their engagement in an Instagram post with a simple caption, "Forever."
The couple revealed in April that they are going to get married at the White House. However, the specific details about the location were not out then. Naomi, at that time, wrote, "Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House. We can't wait to make our commitment to one another official and for what lies ahead."
