Macklemore / SnapchatWhat do you do after you meet the president of the United States? If you're Macklemore, you celebrate by...crashing a wedding.
On Saturday night, with some coaxing from his mother, Julie Schott, the rapper walked into what appeared to be a South Asian wedding at a hotel in Washington D.C. and partied with the guests, who seemed pumped. Macklemore documented his wedding crash on Snapchat.
"When your mom tells you to crash the wedding," he wrote.

During the festivities, his and Ryan Lewis' 2013 hit "Thrift Shop" was played.
Earlier in the day, Macklemore surprised a student walking while wearing a graduation gown, singing, "Congratulations, you graduated."
Macklemore had two days earlier spoken with President Barack Obama during the U.S. leader's weekly address to talk about addiction and prescription drug abuse, during which the rapper talked about his recovery and the loss of a friend who overdosed on prescription drugs.
Macklemore had said last summer that he had relapsed with pills and pot in 2014.
The talk came days after the House of Representatives passed measures to battle opioid abuse.
