The photographs and exhibits below offer a visual guide to those White House weddings—not a complete record of every American first daughter’s wedding wherever it took place.
White House weddings: the eight documented brides
An archived White House page lists these eight presidential daughters as having married at the White House. The list spans more than 150 years and identifies the brides and wedding years, but it does not establish a complete list of first daughters’ weddings held elsewhere.
| Bride | Wedding year |
|---|---|
| Maria Monroe | 1820 |
| Elizabeth Tyler | 1842 |
| Nellie Grant | 1874 |
| Alice Roosevelt | 1906 |
| Jessie Wilson | 1913 |
| Eleanor Wilson | 1914 |
| Lynda Bird Johnson | 1967 |
| Tricia Nixon | 1971 |
Source: White House Historical Association, “White House Weddings”; the eight-name list is also recorded on an archived White House page.
Where to find the wedding pictures
Browse the White House Historical Association gallery
The association’s wedding gallery brings together images from different presidential eras. It identifies wedding-day photographs of Jessie Wilson, dated November 25, 1913, and Eleanor Wilson, dated May 7, 1914. The gallery is a useful starting point for viewing a sequence of White House weddings rather than searching for each bride separately.

Explore the National Museum of American History exhibit
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History presents a White House weddings exhibit with images and related collection material from different eras, including Maria Monroe, Alice Roosevelt, and Tricia Nixon. Its material can add context to pictures that may be encountered elsewhere without much explanation.
Use focused exhibits for the Johnson and Nixon weddings
The White House Historical Association’s exhibit on Lynda Bird Johnson’s wedding focuses on her December 9, 1967, marriage to Charles Robb. The exhibit says 500 friends and family attended the reception; it does not establish a publication year for that figure.
The association’s Tricia Nixon wedding exhibit identifies an official wedding portrait and a wedding-party photograph taken in the Blue Room. Nixon married Edward Finch Cox on June 12, 1971. Her ceremony was the first White House wedding held in the Rose Garden.
Find a specific Tricia Nixon photograph at the Library of Congress
The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs catalog has a record for a photograph describing President Nixon in a crowd at his daughter’s wedding. The catalog record links to digitized image files and provides item-specific access and use information.
How the weddings and images differ
The pictures are not all the same kind of record. Some sources identify wedding-day portraits or wedding-party photographs; the Library of Congress item is described as a photograph of the president amid a crowd. When comparing images, note the date, venue, image type, and holding institution.
| Wedding | Date and venue established by the sources | Image or context identified | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth | February 17, 1906; East Room | The museum exhibit includes Alice Roosevelt among its historical wedding material. The White House Historical Association notes that the marriage brought increased national attention. | White House Historical Association; National Museum of American History |
| Jessie Wilson | November 25, 1913 | Wedding-day photograph identified by the association gallery. | White House Historical Association |
| Eleanor Wilson | May 7, 1914 | Wedding-day photograph identified by the association gallery. | White House Historical Association |
| Lynda Bird Johnson and Charles Robb | December 9, 1967; East Room | The focused exhibit reports 500 friends and family at the reception; this is an exhibit-reported attendance figure, not a broader estimate. | White House Historical Association |
| Tricia Nixon and Edward Finch Cox | June 12, 1971; Rose Garden | Official wedding portrait and Blue Room wedding-party photograph identified by the association; a separate Library of Congress record describes President Nixon in a crowd at the wedding. | White House Historical Association; Library of Congress |
The White House Historical Association identifies both the Alice Roosevelt and Lynda Bird Johnson ceremonies as taking place in the East Room, while Tricia Nixon’s was held in the Rose Garden. Do not assume that every image in a gallery depicts the ceremony itself: portraits, wedding-party pictures, and candid crowd scenes document different parts of an event.

Before reusing an image
A gallery or digitized catalog entry helps locate an image, but it does not by itself grant permission to republish it. Check the rights and use information attached to the individual image at the holding institution, including the Library of Congress item record where relevant. Rights status may differ from one image to another.
