Pence plane parks in Columbus; son’s weekend wedding in Brown County

Columbus, Ind. — Vice President Mike Pence has returned to the Columbus area this weekend for a family wedding.

Pence’s son, Michael, is the groom.

The younger Michael Pence married Sarah Whiteside in December in a small ceremony at the governor’s mansion in Indianapolis, when Mike Pence was governor. But an Instagram post from Oct. 9 by Charlotte Pence, one of the vice president’s two daughters, indicated that the couple would be celebrating again.

The wedding celebration is planned for Brown County State Park in Nashville, inside the Abe Martin Lodge, park officials confirmed.

State Park Property Manager Doug Baird said the vice president’s visit should not have much of an impact on visitors or on traffic around the park, however.

“The (Abe Martin) Lodge will be operating as normal, though the public won’t have access to areas immediately around the VP,” he said.

“(There’s) not a big number attending, so I don’t expect a great impact traffic-wise.”
