White House Weddings: The Weird, Disturbing and Romantic
First daughter Jenna Bush exchanged vows with Henry Hager over the weekend at President Bush’s Crawford, Texas ranch, disappointing some who wanted to see the first White House wedding in 37 years.
Mental Floss has highlighted the most memorable 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. nuptials including the wedding of President James Monroe’s daughter Maria who at 17 wed 21-year-old Samuel L. Gouverneur, her first cousin.
Another eyebrow raising union occurred in 1886 when 49-year-old sitting President Grover Cleveland married 21-year-old Frances Folsom, who he had known her entire life. Cleveland had also acted as the bride’s legal guardian up until shortly before getting hitched.
Scandal in the White House? Shocking.
