Richard Nixon was elected president in November 1968 but Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower did not wait for a White House garden wedding. They had a private ceremony instead. (Her sister Tricia did have a White House wedding in 1971)
Julie and David met at the Republican National Convention in San Francisco, California, in 1956. His grandfather and her father were campaigning for re-election that year. They were 8 back then and most have clicked quickly.
So we congratulate them on their wedding anniversary.
David wrote a few books later about his grandfather.
