Excerpt from The Guidon, Vol. 2: March, 1906 Now, while the interest of the world is awakened by this event, the minds of many people naturally revert to the preced ing marriage ceremonies that have taken place Within the historic walls of the White House. Miss Roosevelt is the tenth bride to pronounce her wedding vows beneath this roof. Only one son of a president has been married here while four daughters, counting the recent bride, claimed the distinction of having been brides of the White House. In the choice of a room for the ceremony, the majority of the brides have shown a decided preference for the Blue Room, but, on account of its greater size, the East Room has been the scene of the most brilliant ceremonies. It is said that in the early days of the White House this now famous room was used by Mrs. Adams, the wife of the president, as a drying room during inclement weather.
