White House Wedding Ornament

On June 2, 1886, at seven o'clock in the evening, Francis Folsom married President Cleveland in the Blue Room. Grover Cleveland was the second President married in office, and the only President married in the White House itself. When the wedding was over, Cleveland decided to play one final prank on the media. He sent two wedding guests into the presidential carriage, which the media followed. Cleveland and his new young bride were able to leave the White House at their leisure for their honeymoon. On the front of the 24 karat gold ornament, President Cleveland's monogram anchors a decorative border using orange blossoms from his bride's wedding gown. The center features a color tinted illustration is a reproduction of an engraving that originally appeared in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Magazine depicting the President and his bride during their wedding nuptials. The back features the Frances Folsom's monogram. This Valentine Gift Idea can serve as either a elegant wedding display or wedding party gift. Own a moment of White House history.
