Meghan King reveals what Joe Biden gifted her and Cuffe Owens for wedding

Meghan King keeping one thing from her fleeting marriage to Cuffe Owens — a special wedding gift from his uncle, President Joe Biden.

“He gave me a crystal bowl, like, with the presidential seal,” the former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 38, told Us Weekly, adding that she still has the unique present.

She continued, “And Kamala Harris wrote me a note.”

King went on to describe how “weird” it was to have secret service and snipers at her low-key nuptials.

“The craziest moment for me, was when my daughter said, ‘Mommy, what are those guys doing?’ And there were two snipers with these, like, massive guns, like, walking because the president was getting ready to leave,” she explained.

“So they’re packing up and going, so they have these massive guns. And I said, ‘Oh honey, those people were there to protect the president because the president was here.’ And she said, ‘President Biden.’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ She goes, ‘No, he wasn’t!’”

Although her daughter Aspen, 5, didn’t remember speaking to the groom’s uncle that night, King says the Bidens “felt like family.”

“The wedding day was great. It was so much fun, intimate and his family’s wonderful. I mean, I don’t have a bad thing to say about the Bidens at all. They were so warm and normal and welcoming.”

King and Owens, 43, tied the knot in October 2021 during a “tiny wedding” at the attorney’s childhood home in Kennett Square, Penn., after just one month of dating.

The pair’s relationship lasted only three months from start to finish. Instagram

However, the mother of three quickly realized she made a “mistake” and the pair had their nuptials annulled two months later.

Back in July, the former reality star revealed she was “rushed into” the marriage even though she “didn’t ever want to get married again.”

“Like I said earlier, I’m a lover and I want everybody to be happy. I learned some big lessons from that mistake. I’m sure he did as well,” she said on Caroline Stanbury’s podcast “Divorced Not Dead,” adding it was “short and sweet and it’s done and it’s annulled.”

King has also had some choice words about her marriage to former MLB player Jim Edmonds since finalizing their divorce in early 2021.

The “RHOC” alum called her marriage to the athlete “embarrassing” after she started rewatching the Bravo series and realized how little the 52-year-old “respected” her.

However, co-parenting hasn’t been easy for the former couple as King filed two protective orders against Edmonds back in June for “frequent and consistent verbal abuse” toward her via text and in the co-parenting app Family Wizard. 

The cases have since been dismissed and King hopes to set the “best example” for their children by trying to work things out amicably.
