Only 18 other weddings have been held at the White House.
"Here Comes the Bride" will be heard at the White House very soon. Again.
Nine of the 18 documented White House weddings were for a president's daughter - most recently Richard Nixon's daughter, Tricia, in 1971, and Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter, Lynda, in 1967. Stewart McLaurin, president of the historical association, said special occasions at the White House aren't soon forgotten.
Her planner - a black, three-ring binder labeled "TRICIA'S WEDDING" and kept by the historical association - has tabbed sections for every aspect of her special day, including the attendants, social aides, gazebo, flowers, parking, seating, menu, champagne, the press and more. "I want you to know how grateful all the Nixons are for your splendid contributions on this very special day," Nixon wrote.
"It gives people a sense that I had a unique relationship with Barack Obama that he would insist I have the wedding at the White House," Souza said. "I'm so honored, as is my wife, to have my wedding ceremony at the White House. Not many people can say that." Among the approximately 250 guests were President Biden and his wife, Jill. Biden and Barbara Boxer served in the Senate at the time.

Biden talks Taiwan with Xi in effort to avoid 'conflict'President Joe Biden on Monday objected to China's “coercive and increasingly aggressive actions” toward Taiwan and raised human rights concerns about Beijing's conduct in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong during his first in-person meeting with President Xi Jinping since the U.S. president took office, the White House said.
