President and Mrs. Johnson Pose with the Johnson-Robb Wedding Party

In this photograph by Frank Wolfe, President Lyndon B. Johnson and First Lady Lady Bird Johnson pose with their daughter, Lynda Bird Johnson, on her wedding day on December 9, 1967. The Johnsons are joined by Lynda's groom, Marine Corps Capt. Charles S. Robb, her younger sister, Luci Baines Johnson, to the right of Mrs. Johnson, and the wedding party in the Yellow Oval Room on the Second Floor of the White House. This photograph was captured following Lynda and Charles' ceremony in the East Room. Along with the bridal ensemble, Geoffrey Beene designed the bridesmaids red velvet dresses which were inspired by Francisco Goyas 1787-1788 painting Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zúñiga and reflected the medieval aesthetic popularized by the 1967 film Camelot.
