First Family Weddings - President William Howard Taft is seen at the Murray Bay, Canada, wedding of his daughter Helen to Frederick Johnson Manning, a history instructor at Yale University, on July 15, 1920. The bride's gown is white taffeta draped with old Brussels lace, and she carried a bouquet of white sweet peas and white roses
I’ve thought Margaret Truman was perhaps the homeliest president’s daughter until I scrolled down to Amy Carter. I’m going to have to wait for lunch, now.

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.
Thank you for this thread!!! I’m going to the link to view all.
Interesting that Jenna Bush’s wedding was so low-key, and unpretentious, and her father was the SITTING President, not a former one.
what a nice thread. Thank you
so nice to see you posting & your ping. I dont get here to check around enough.
(love the pix of your garden)
I tried to find a picture of my ancestors' WH wedding - John and Julia Tyler, but since cameras weren't real big back then, there weren't any. :)
Thanks for the thread! I’m enjoying it!
Thanks for the thread...I love weddings.
I almost want to dab at my eyes with a handkerchief!
