After Wedding Crashers, breaking into weddings seemed like a fantastic idea. But breaking into a White House state dinner? Would anyone have the audacity to try it?
Michaele and Tareq Salahi say no, despite allegations that the couple crashed into a recent dinner for the Indian prime minister. According to The TODAY Show, they insist they were invited to the bash by a Washington law firm with ties to a senior Pentagon official, and that the hurtful claims have ruined their lives.

“This has been the most devastating thing that’s ever happened to us,” Tareq Salahi, along with his wife Michaele, told Matt Lauer in the couple’s first television interview. “We’re greatly saddened by all the circumstances that have been involved in portraying my wife and I as party crashers. I can tell you we did not party crash the White House.”
The couple said they are reeling from the media attention. “Our lives have been destroyed, everything we’ve worked for, Matt,” Michaele Salahi said. “For me, 44 years, just destroyed.”
Dramatic much? Come on. If they’re telling the truth, it certainly must suck…but lives destroyed? We all know how these things work…you’re highly Googled one day, and the next day no one can remember who you are. And if they really were invited, I’m sure their friends will know the truth!
And if they weren’t…you have to give them credit for pulling off such a feat. Getting past White House security? You know Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson couldn’t have mastered that.
