Correction on Julie Nixon. She was married a month before her father took office. Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower were married by Rev. Norman Vincent Peale in Manhattan's Marble Collegiate Church. Because her father was President-Elect at the time, Kleig lights, the curious and press turned up in droves as you can see from these photos.

Norman Vincent Peale had the stature of Billy Graham in those days.

Though a White House wedding with all the trimmings was offered, Julie and David wanted a private ceremony. They managed to keep their guest list a secret amid all the change in their lives. In addition, their Grand Ballroom at the Plaza wedding reception was closed to all press. Julie's gown was by Pricilla Kidder aka Priscilla of Boston. High-necked with pearls and beadwork, it had puffed sleeves and a long train. The bridesmaid ensembles were brocade overcoats with long Juliet sleeves.

Thanks for posting.... much variety! I am interested in Amy Carter’s two husbands..... I may poke around on the internet and see what I can learn about her history...(bless her heart - all the Southern ladies will know what I mean by that!)

Both of the Nixon girls had classy weddings IMO. And President Nixon looked happy too.

I think Tricia’s wedding in the Rose Garden was elegant and beautiful and from what I have read, exactly what she
wanted.
