On this occasion, we decided to remember who else celebrated a wedding in the presidential residence.
According to the White House Historical Association, there have only been 18 documented weddings and four receptions (with vows taken elsewhere).
Not all of the photos and pictures taken during those holidays have survived to our days, but we still offer to look at some of them.
