President Donald Trump took time out of his busy schedule to greet a wedding party at his New Jersey golf club on the first day of his 17-day vacation.
Trump hopped out of his golf cart to say hello and schmooze attendees of a wedding that was hosted at his National Golf Club in Bedminster on Saturday.
The president sported his iconic Make America Great Again cap as he ambled over to the group and asked some of the women where the bride was.
Trump was seemingly in a good mood on the first day of his 17-day golf vacation, despite critics slamming the president for the extended trip.
However, Trump is adamant that his time spent at the luxury club isn't a holiday but rather a working trip and he is taking meetings and calls.
The wedding clip, filmed by a member of the wedding party, shows Trump getting out from behind the wheel of a golf cart and walking over to the group.
Trump asks them where the bride and groom were as the wedding party excitedly chatters among themselves.
They jokingly say they've been cleared by security and are willing to be strip searched as Trump approaches them.
Trump asks to someone in the wedding party if his 'star' was doing a good job, making the group laugh.
The video was uploaded to Instagram and the user captioned the clip: 'Look who Mike bumped into at Trump National.'
ABC6 reported that Trump asked the group if they were enjoying themselves before taking a selfie with them and waving goodbye.
Trump announced his getaway on Thursday, which was met with much criticism.

Our Cromwell?
Although he became one of the most famous figures in English history, Oliver Cromwell began life as an ordinary country gentleman; when the English Civil War broke out in 1642, he was a middle-aged father of five children with no military training. Yet within a decade, according to one leading Royalist statesman and historian, he “mounted himself into the throne of the three kingdoms [England, Wales, and Scotland] without the name of a king but with greater power and authority than had ever been exercised or claimed by any king.”
Cromwell’s power stemmed from his military ability and his unique relationship with his troops. As soon as the war began, the creation of a pious and professional army to serve the English Parliament became his principal concern, and in 1645 he pushed for the formation of a standing army, with central funding and central direction. Under the command of Thomas Fairfax, with Cromwell as his deputy, this “New Model Army” quickly routed the main Royalist force at the Battle of Naseby (June 14, 1645), marking the beginning of a string of remarkable victories that within a year forced Charles I to surrender. Cromwell always led his cavalry from the front, although it took its toll: he sustained combat injuries and often laughed hysterically immediately before and after action. But close contact with his troops paid dividends, for Cromwell managed to lead his “Ironsides” back into battle when other units paused to plunder.
Could have been a Russian wedding.
