The vice president and Second Lady Karen Pence were on hand at a courthouse to see youngest child Audrey Pence Tomanelli tie the knot shortly before the country voted.

The bride posted a black and white picture to Instagram of her parents watching her kiss husband Daniel Tomanelli outside the steps of a courthouse.

“Thank you to these two beautiful families for joyfully coming alongside us when we decided to throw together a courthouse ceremony in 10 days. We are truly blessed,” she wrote as a caption.

She also posted a colour picture of herself and her husband with the caption: “Married // November 1st, 2020.”

Ms Pence’s sister Charlotte Pence Bond and brother Michael Pence were also pictured on the courthouse steps.

There is no sign of anyone in the wedding pictures wearing a mask but they are all socially distancing.

Mr Tomanelli, whom she reportedly met at university, proposed to her in Provincetown on Cape Cod in February 2019.

The couple were reportedly due to get married this summer but the ceremony was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.Ms Pence studied international relations at Northeastern University before graduating from Yale Law School.
