First Family Weddings - In this June 28, 1992 photo provided by the White House, President George H.W. Bush's daughter Dorothy and Bobby Koch exchanged marriage vows during a 23-minute ceremony in Camp David, Md., June 28, 1992.
Maybe not surprising, but the groom looks a little like George W.
Woah... I haven’t seen those pics before either. I did a spit-take there... figures that she’s gone totally earth-muffin. Wanna bet that the wedding cake was all organic and “sustainably” sourced, “cruelty-free” ingredients?

Yes, I wonder how many of these marriages are still ongoing? I don’t think the Robbs divorced after their scandal, but her sister, Luci, did. Dorothy Bush has been divorced. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg is rumored to be in the process of divorcing. Alice Roosevelt Longworth had a daughter by a paramour while still married to her husband.
I had no idea who some of those people are.
Who cares? They are not royalty. We separated from Britain so we wouldn’t have crap like this.
Nobody ever said they were royalty. Don’t you ever look at wedding pictures in your family? It’s fun to look at how the styles have changed.
Sure. But I just don’t get why politicians family members getting married is that big of a deal.
Father of the bride looking very evident, as usual. But isn't that a GORGEOUS dress? You can see why her nickname was "Princess Alice".
The geek guy’s PARENTS LOOK NORMAL!!
Note the “Jackie Kennedy” pill box hat on Maureen as a wedding headdress. The photo in #31 was taken in 1964; Jackie was in her heyday in 1963.
That’s one of the pictures I was looking for. Alice Roosevelt, it seems, couldn’t take a bad picture. And she had quite a wit.
I believe she said the her father, Teddy, “wanted to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral”.
Alice Roosevelt and her husband and father Her mother had died just days after she was born.

I had NO idea who *that* was until I read the captions and spotted Jimmy.
Luckily, one that is missing is Ross Perot’s World Class Daughter. Of course, the silly GOP almost disrupted her wedding.
