The First Presidential White House Wedding
The 2007 White House Christmas ornament honors the first
administration of President Grover Cleveland. The only
U.S. president elected to two non-consecutive terms,
Cleveland served as the 22nd president from 1885 to
1889 and as the 24th president from 1893 to 1897; his
will be the only presidency to be featured on two White
House Historical Association ornaments. Cleveland
was also the only president to marry in the White House.
The historic event is the focus of the 2007 ornament.
The central illustration is a tinted reproduction of
an engraving that originally appeared in Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Magazine depicting the bride
and groom taking their vows.The gold-plated frame surrounding
the engraving showcases design elements from the Cleveland's
wedding certificate album. The groom's monogram, which
anchors a decorative border incorporating orange blossoms
from Frances Folsom's wedding gown, is incorporated
on the front of the ornament, while the bride's monogram
is featured on the back.
