On June 2, 1886, 49-year-old Grover Cleveland became the first and only president to be married in the White House. Cleveland?s bride, Frances Folsom, was the 22-year-old daughter of Cleveland?s late law partner and friend, Oscar Folsom. For years, the bachelor Cleveland acted as executor of Folsom?s estate, but no one suspected his interest in Frances until he proposed marriage after her graduation from Wells College. The intimate wedding ceremony took place in the White House Blue Room with fewer than 40 people present.
