This was the best WH wedding ever. Tricia was as perfect as any Royal and Edward amazingly handsome. It was absolutely gorgeous in every way. They have been happy for now 50 years!
It really was a beautiful wedding. Tricia was stunning. Best wishes to Tricia & Ed on their 50th anniversary.
❤️
I'd love to see a picture of Ed and Tricia Cox today, just to see how they look 50 years later. I hope they're as happy as they were on their wedding day!! ♥️♥️♥️
Nice
@@janeforst5973 There are many out there... Jus google.. She hasn't changed much, but wow, what a difference in height!
@@susanbannister6270 Hello. How are you doing?
My favorite wedding gown throughout time. The Bride was radiant, elegant and stunning. The Groom: handsome and dignified. I read awhile ago Tricia and Ed renewed their wedding vows. Wishing them continued happiness and joy.
How are you doing?
Hello Rhubarb 😊
@Rhubarb 68 mine too! Timelessly elegant, feminine and beautiful
@@quietandmildone It certainly is! One of the loveliest brides I’ve ever “seen”. Understated elegance and uber feminine. I love it.
Trica Nixon was one of the most beautiful, elegant, graceful brides in history.Her dress was elegant and delicate soft and flowing.Her dress was not like others of the day.She was the closest to American 'princess' we had. The picture with the White House doorway is stunning! The lighting framed her with a halo effect. My coodos to the photographer( of course the subject was very feminine). I watched the wedding and was glued to the television. I was very fortunate to have met Trica Nixon at the 1968 Republican Convention at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. She was so striking and elegant in a white ballgown. We chatted for several minutes and she was so gracious and soft spoken. Later while she was dancing I couldn't help but notice how effortlessly she moved. She glided across the floor as if she she never touched it. Throughout the convention I had opportunity to speak with her. She was always radiant and gracious. I liked her very much. Her elegance and beauty remain today. My encounters with her are among my most cherished memories.
She married a handsome American "prince" with great dignity,strength and confidence. Her Father's note was exactly that 'a father's note to to little girl on her wedding day----not from a president or powerful person'. What a cherished memory she has. You can see the love in the family in every picture.The love Pat ant Dick Nixon had was very evident in the video. Thank you for sharing these intimate moments of a happier time.
My very sincere congratulation wish on your 50th wedding Anniversary. May you continue to have health and happiness for 50 more years.
I appreciate being able to see this excellent footage of Patricia Nixon and Edward Cox's wedding. The bride looked beautiful. It was also nice seeing the Johnson daughters, Lynda and Luci, as well as The Reverend and Mrs. Billy Graham. Tricia's sister Julie N. Eisenhower had married first, and there were brief glimpses of her as Matron of Honor. I had met her during the summer of 1968, when she was campaigning for her father in SC. A lovely, friendly person.
I loved President Nixon's comment about the wedding being remembered as a day when everyone was "beautifully and simply happy". We need a day like that today.
There was a time we had thoes days in this country.
Sadly, Tricia has only one child with her husband. It doesn't appear that they will ever be grandparents.
@@travelseatsyellowlab Do you know if Tricia's sister, Julie Eisenhower have any children and grandchildren?
@@travelseatsyellowlab I'm sure that Tricia and Edward Cox don't think of their family of three as being prefaced by "Sadly". Do you have a problem with families who have only one child or no children?
@@falloncalif745 David and Julie Eisenhower have two daughters, a son and at least one granddaughter.
Tricia's wedding gown was timeless. It still looks beautiful and very much in style today. The scalloped neckline was stunning on her. I think it was a gown designed by Priscilla of Boston. So classic.
Yes, it was a Priscilla of Boston.....
All of our gowns were made by Priscilla of Boston. there was a silk banner sewn in the underside the hem, that says "Pricilla of Boston June 12 1971". I still have gown. :-)
There was a disconnect between bridal gown and bridesmaids' dresses....the formal timeless, elegant...the latter.....well never mind....it's 50 yrs ago
@@msamelienp Hello. How are you doing?
Tricia's gown, indeed the whole wedding, was so beautiful! Her style of gown is timeless. Happy Anniversary to Ed and Tricia!
Hello Janet Phillips. How are you doing?
Trisha's wedding gown is not only gorgeous, but it's timeless.
Can't say that for the brides maids' dresses. But that wedding gown has to be among the prettiest ever.
@@karenross3457 Absolutely right. As usual, the bridesmaids get stuck wearing a monstrosity!
I thought exactly the same thing about Tricia's dress - timeless and beautiful!! It could be worn today with maybe a few little updates , but nothing major. However I have to agree with Karen about the bridesmaids dresses - yuck, ugh, gross, hideous!! But then again , bridesmaid dresses pretty much always are disgusting.
Jameson sex vjst makrr
True! She looked much more royal than MM was!
My dad worked for the Park Service as a welder and helped construct the metal canopy frame for the wedding. President & Mrs. Nixon wrote him a lovely letter thanking him for the work he did. Very classy
Oh wow! How cool is that!!!
Remember this like it was yesterday. I was 14...thought they made the most handsome couple. Both she and her sister, Julie, were the epitome of pure class...
This part of Mr Nixon's administration was a class act. I miss the days that weren't so contentious, we had a different society then.
Ever so true
Amen.
Indeed we did. Members of congress and the senate could be fierce rivals on Capitol Hill, while also being the best of friends. We were a much more civil society back then.
I miss the days when a president, knowing he did wrong, took himself out of the public eye. One who shall not be named perhaps does not know he did wrong, because he was raised to be an autocratic tyrant, immoral and amoral man of business who gave not two thoughts about the millions of his fellow Americans who would die due to his negligence. We can forgive Nixon who, by comparison, was a true patriot. But not this latest version of a disgrace to the Republican party, no more than we can forgive his spineless minions in Congress.
Those Days are long gone but...I remember them I have a sharp mind and a long memory, The good Ol'Days
This was such a delight to watch! I was 11 when Tricia married Edward, and I remember thinking how beautiful she was and how I loved her dress...Absolutely perfect!
It was nice to see him beaming with pride and happiness! May he rest in heavenly peace!
Amen.
He was a crook!
@@runningwithscissors2468 He wasn't a crook friend. Joe Biden is a crook and has used his office to enrich his family for decades and decades, and he's also pimped his son Hunter, and continues to do so.
He took the blame, like a man! Illuminati did not like him freezing consumer goods prices!
@@susannaCdonovan23 He certainly was a crook and a cheat....just like the big far cheeto!!
So elegant! Her gown was beautiful!
Timeless. It could be worn today and you'd never know it was 50 years old.
She looked like the perfect princess for her special day
Agree. It’s sleeveless and elegant. I have no idea why some said in recent years that sleeveless is unladylike. It’s perfect
@@rachelgreen4510 I agree. Tricia's wedding gown is a beautiful timeless piece of Art. It should be on display at the White House, just like Diana Princess of Wales wedding gown is on display at Kensington Palace.

Thank you for sharing we all need to be reminded of what class is
Hello Camille😊
The letter made me cry! That was love from a loving father’s heart ❤️
Loved this video!
Thanks for posting!
Hello Grace Pei. How are you doing?
Wealthy weddings are generally STUNNING but this one was really something regal
Hello Charlotte Vale. How are you doing?
I absolutely love Nixion's letter to his daughter.
Yes but alas Watergate
Me too!
@@ladybugsym1614 those were two different things, everyone makes mistakes ok!
He was a good father!
@@ladybugsym1614 Amazing how complex human beings can be. He had a dark heart but loved his daughter.
@@deborahlee63 You're right, Nixon did have a dark heart. However I think his wife and daughters were the only shining lights for him.
I love how everything was simple, elegant and in good taste. Wish that style wedding dress would come back into fashion.
Very much like princess lste
Lol Kate. Love long sleeve lace or the clip over the finger so classic . Beautiful on women
@@shelleygibbons1065 But so much more beautiful given the time frame in which it was worn when there was ediquite and manners for even the most humble of people framing it.
My thoughts exactly
Loved the Bridesmaids dresses too. Just stunning.
What a lovely look back at a gentler and truer America. I was 9 and can remember watching the wedding ceremony on TV. I miss the Nixon family and wish Mrs. and Mr. Cox a very happy golden anniversary.
@albert trinidad... The spying of Obama never has been punished. Obama spying on Trump's Campaing.

I agree with you. Tricia's gown is one of the all time best!! I also put Kate Middleton's dress in the timeless stunning bridal gown category.
I was a child and so thrilled to see the wedding, it was lovely of them to share it with us. Tricia looked stunning in her beautiful dress and Ed was so handsome. God Bless you on your 50th anniversary.
Amen

Hard to believe it's been 50 years! She was a beautiful bride! Thanks for posting, made me wish for a simpler time. Glad they had this nice to share as a family, what a lovely memory. 50 years, that's quite an accomplishment! May God continue to bless them.
I was 11 years old, and so impressed with this wedding.
Me too, and I was twelve! Such a cute couple.
Hello Danita…I just finished my freshman year of high school. I remember watching the wedding on TV.
I was almost 11 too and this was also very impressed and dreaming of the day I would be a beautiful bride like Tricia.
@@flgirl250 Hello. How are you doing?
@@wilsonwalker1181 pretty well, thanks for asking!
I love this. I was in 6th grade when Tricia got married and still remember it. Couldn't help but get tears in my eyes seeing this beautiful flashback in time.
I was in ninth grade
I was also a mere child and looking back to 1971 sure brought back memories of that time.
@@joyceanthony-huff2914 Hello. How are you doing?
Congrats Mr & Mrs. Cox for making it to # 50, especially with all the press crap you’ve had to put up with. God Bless
It was nice to see no protesters, no press. They were given the chance to have a nice family moment.
But there were protests all over! I was part of the protests. Viet Nam and Nixon had committed so many crimes by this point (Treason with Ann Chanault) Four students had been shot and killed the previous year at Kent State. It was a tumultuous time.
@@marniefriedman879 I'm not doubting you. In the clip it looked like a peaceful family get together from the World. Celebrating two kids wedding and new life that they are about to embark.
@@TransWalk Yes indeed, it “looked” like a story book wedding. The old att age “all that glitters is Not gold”...😂😂😂🔯
@@marniefriedman879 But unlike today, politics were kept separate from personal/family events. It was an unspoken agreement back then that events like these were not the time for protests. They were allowed to enjoy celebrating their daughter's marriage without crowds of chanting protesters heckling the attendees and trying to disrupt the event. We need to bring that civility back.
@@amydubisz6805 Hello. How are you doing?
I still like Nixon, I’m Canadian, he was flawed, made mistakes. But I believe at heart he was a good decent man, there have been worse as we have seen. I wish Nixon daughters and family well. 50 years showed parents raised you well !!
Nixon showed courage when it came time to resign. It was inevitable. He put the country first.
@@steveshapiro326 I was so heartbroken for him, I know Nixon screwed up!! But we know now he wasn’t the worst. The election in 63 was so close. Nixon could have protested. So proof he thought of the country. Nixon was also being blackmailed by Hunt for a million dollars adding to paranoia, I still don’t understand why he did what he did, but it was not for personal gain. I know I’m not American, but I liked him inspite of everything. His paranoia got the best of him. But his farewell speech, one of most heart wrenching but sincere scenes of a fallen president I caught on CZcams today, I was crying. !! I could see his broken heart, but his graceful dignity and grace leaving White House all 4 arm and arm. Americans. Today should feel no shame, he was just a man, under pressure as president, he is responsible for that mess. But he panicked!! But he left office in the most honourable fashion, Despite heroic stories of JFK, s book” Profiles In Courage “ this
Nixon ,disgrace is actually courageous iin itself. Just by his gracious speech, his tears, he was a shy man. And the way he walked to helicopter with his peace sign. I was 14 years old and I was in tears! Still had compassion for him. At heart he was a good man, filled with wisdom, very intelligent, but he still did a stupid thing! I think most Americans forgave him, I’m the end, he went on speaking tours, did Nixon Frost, numerous shows. Wrote books, he was not a rich man, enough to be comfortable but not rich. I highly recommend Americans watch Nixon, s last farewell speech, I would call it one of the most important tragic events in government history, but it also showed a man who said never give up, despite the lowest peaks, that’s how you learn about life to keep going. I like and still like Nixon, as I said I don’t think he was worst president anymore!! Past president even 200 hundred years ago may have got away with things we don’t know about
F
It was a witch hunt just like they did to Pres. Trump.
Please do not compare Trump to Nixon. Nixon was a honorable man who loved his country and put country before himself whereas Trump is a despicable sociopath who thinks only about himself. Just look at The Republican Party! What a disgrace to for a USA President who doesn’t follow the Constitution and urged his followers to march into Capitol to stop the constitutional process of peaceful presidential transfer of power! The man is sick!
Congratulations on your 50th Wedding Anniversary Edward and Tricia Cox.
It will be our 50th Wedding Anniversary on July 10th. Unlike in America, July in Australia it was winter, so I wedding gown was in silk velvet. We also had a wonderful day.
Beautiful Bride. I wish them a very, very happy and blessed anniversary.
Hello Lisbet Wood. How are you doing?
I did not know that the white Gazebo that is now at the Nixon Library is where Tricia and Eddie stood taking their vows. My boyfriend and I love taking pictures of us under the Gazebo. Now I treasure the pictures even more. Thank you for the wonderful video.
How are you doing?
@@hurst-cs2jh how are you.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I believe her gown was design from Priscilla of Boston. Fifty years, time goes by so fast. I was married July 4, 1971. I remember watching this beautiful wedding on TV, it was truly a happy event. All the best to everyone. I just love weddings.
I REMEMBER THIS
WELL! Tricia was on the cover of Life magazine with her wedding dress! I wanted a wedding dress just like hers when I got married! As I recall, Trica and her groom's names were embroidered on the inside of her dress!
I was eleven when I saw Tricia wedding on t.v. I thought she was lovely. Now that I'm older and have seen many royal weddings and other president's daughters marry, I can say that none can compare to hers in elegance, simplicity and dignity. The whole Nixon family had that aura about them. Whether Nixon made mistakes or not, is beside the point. They don't make americans like that any more. They weren't cheap, they weren't vulgar.
Beautiful! Such elegance high class & honour once was in the USA!
Once?
Like Watergate?? I separate Nixons perfidy from his innocent family.
I remember watching this as a kid. It was lovely.
I remember it too I wonder whatever happened to the couple are they still married or did they pass
@@iriswood3744 I don't know too much about them. Hope someone will give us the answers.
They are still married as is her sister Julie
@@janeiwasduncan8463 ok ty I was wondering Tricia and her hubby are still together after all those years ago now that is what I call Real❤
@@iriswood3744 They had one son who looks just like his father.
Beautiful wedding and bride.
I remember this going on, but had no idea back then how stunning Tricia was in her gown, every detail was impeccable! This is my kind of politics! Lol Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Cox, and may they have many more!
Hello,
How are you doing ?
This was beautifully done.....
Truly Beautiful, Happy Anniversary Triciia & Edward..and many more. God Bless.
How are you doing?
Well that's hard to believe it's been 50 years old 50 years now God they've been married that long good for you keep the flame going
I can see how much Ed Cox loves her, even to this day - still in love with her and I can how thrilled both parents - Pat & Pres Nixon were to have Ed as their son-in-law. He was of the right choice and pedigree - beyond all that - the most darling couple.
Amy & Beth were not "Flower girls" We were Brides Maids. - I was suffering from heat stroke the morning of the wedding. We had been rehearsing all afternoon the day before. Luckily I was feeling well enough to walk down the aisle for Tricia & Eddy. It was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been a part of. - Amy Nixon Peiffer
Thanks for sharing, Amy! You all looked beautiful! You must have such wonderful memories of the day!
She looked very elegant, modest and classy, just like how every bride should look. I love the fact that her bouquet was small and not overwhelming and heavy like how it is these days and they carry it weird down the aisle and it covers the dress.
Yes, I notice how flowers now cover up the gown and are held awkwardly.
I love this timeless gown and the small bouquet.
They carried huge bouquets in the 1940s too. Not so new.
They were married only 3 months after their engagement announcement. I like that idea. Not like nowadays where people wait for 2 years or more to go by after their announcement while in private they pretend they’re married.
My husband and I only knew each other for nine months, and wwe just celebrated our 49th anniversary the end of June.
The reason people wait that long is that most wedding venues are booked that far in advance & wedding dresses generally have to be ordered a year or more in advance. They didn’t have to worry about the venue & I’m sure a president’s daughter would be given priority in getting her dress made.

Hello Deborah Olsen. How are you doing?
My parents received Life magazine, so I clearly remember those beautiful White House brides. Tricia Nixon’s wedding was elegant, yet overflowing love and joy! Thanks for sharing these precious memories!! I can hardly believe it’s been 50 years! Happy Golden Anniversary and many more years of blessings and married bliss!!
What a beautiful wedding they had! Beautifully done video too. That letter President Nixon wrote to his daughter and slipped under her door made me cry. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Cox on this day of their anniversary and I wish them all the best.
You could tell that Nixon really loved his family and the four of them were really close. So sweet!
@@kerriethompson2073
well its nice if you to think that, but Richard Nixon beat his wife so bad that after he "resigned" she had to be admitted to a hospital. i've always wondered what the nature of his "bromance" with

He was a superior statesman! History shows his accomplishments.
President Nixon is tragically the most underrated President in American History.
I STRONGLY agree. He was a great man

Congratulations to Edward and Tricia
@@TeamTrumpUSA History is already treating him better than life did.
You're right.
@@JohnSmith-vu6zd For the sake of President Nixon's daughters and grandchildren, I am glad that history is being kind to him. I recall too that even while he was still living, there was a certain grace afforded to him in his final years, when he was regarded as an elder statesman.
It was beautiful! Congratulations! 50 yrs.!
I remember watching Tricia's wedding, My Mom saved the newspaper clippings of the Recipe and Photo of her cake, 15 years later My cake was a smaller version.
That’s neat that the recipe was shared wow.
A Beautiful bride, her gown and headpiece timeless. Best wishes on your 50th anniversary .
Gail Douglas Any bride in 2021 could wear Tricia's wedding gown and headpiece and have the 2021 stylish look ! It is a timeless piece !
How very lovely...real class. Best wishes and blessings always.
I loved seeing Luci Johnson Nugent and Lynda Johnson Robb happily arriving at the wedding with their husbands. The two Johnson sisters and two Nixon sisters were about the same age. Then later in the video we see Lynda Robb and President Nixon enjoying a dance together at the reception. Nothing about these scenes seemed staged or obligatory. Lots of natural warmth there, but sadly we're not likely to see the same kind of thing in Washington today.
Back when people were gracious.
Vivian Powell I remember seeing clips on TV of Luci Johnson's wedding and Lynda Johnson's wedding. It was lovely and getting a glimpse of them made my day !
Please do not confuse that latter president with your new one.
Not so gracious. Watergate was brewing.
Two of my favourite presidents of that era. LBJ and Nixon attacked by the press and pathetic liberal kids of the time. That's what makes me defend them like a lion. The did their best with the horror times that their administration's had to endure. Anyone can make a success of the good times like Clinton was lucky enough to have.
Watching this made me cry. I remember this day! I was looking forward to catching a glimpse on the TV (what 11-year-old girl doesn't love to see a bride?), and being upset that I missed it because my uncle was watching sports. My sisters and I spent half that summer going from one relative's house to another while while our mother went to the hospital daily to tend to our father. Sadly, my own father never got to write a special note to me or walk me down the aisle because he died exactly one month later. So many emotions watching this has stirred.
Hello Karen,
How are you doing ?
Her dress is gorgeous and timeless!🌹
A beautiful letter he wrote her and a grand celebration!
I wish I had a father who loved me the way Nixon loved his daughter , but I didn't. It's my wish that all girls experienced having a loving and caring father. Tricia and Julie Nixon were both blessed to have had their dad.
Age 11, this was my dream. I DID get married in a Rose Garden. But it was in Newmarket, UK.
Newmarket is beautiful. I lived in Mildenhall for a few years.
That's beautiful!! I've seen pictures and it's gorgeous!!
how lovely is that :)
She looked lovely and her dress would be just as lovely today. Brides maid dresses not so much but wow the Rose Garden must have looked spectacular.
Agree, her dress is timeless.
So nice to see this. All the 21st century father/daughter “dances” of hip hop, roll around, dip*t and stupid stuff leaves a to be desired! Love the civility of yesteryear’s times!
I was just thinking how nice it was that they all seemed to dance so well. And they all looked so very happy.
Oh Yes! Days of Watergate Those Were The Days.

Today this respect is not shown !
I remember this.
I was 9 years old in 1971 and Tricia and Julie Nixon were definitely role models for me and my friends. I still remember watching her wedding in the rose garden on TV in 1971. It was so romantic and beautiful! And they turned off the TV cameras during the actual vows to keep it private. I was really struck by that as being the proper thing to do.
Wonderful memories.
I was 15 and glued to the TV watching this. 💘

I was born on this day just across the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia. My father took my grand-mother, who was in from out of town for my birth, over to the White House the next day to see the lawn where the wedding had occurred. She remembered that there were still visible rose petals on the ground. Happy 50th Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Cox!
So glad that they shared their beautiful wedding. I was only 10 years old when this special day took place.

That’s just lovely. I remember watching it as a child and thinking it magical. Congratulations on your 50th. What a wonderful accomplishment.
Really lovely. Thank you for sharing this. At the time, I was a pre-teen and it was the best thing I'd ever seen. It was even more beautiful watching today. Everyone was so dignified. 😌
Hello Sheila Lunn. How are you doing?
My next-door neighbor, Dorothy Farbo designed her wedding dress!!! She was a well known NYC dress designer.
Congratulations on a gorgeous, simple lined, yet elegant gown. It fit her to a "T". I adore wedding gowns that FIT!!! That's the whole point, to make the bride look her very best! Ms. Farbo succeeded!!!
Always liked that dress...it would still be stylish today...
Absolutely beautiful timeless
Priscilla of Boston made Tricia's gown, at least that is what it said in Life Magazine.
Dorothy Farbo did an amazing job!! I consider that dress as it's finest elegance!! It's classic and timeless and something I would choose for myself.
Its so beautiful! So much class!! Its also so sweet....you can really see how much Nixon loved his little girl! Brings tears to my eyes now. She was a stunningly beautiful woman and he, a handsome strapping young man!
How lovely and precious - I hope they will continue to be well and be the best friends to each other.
Pretty cool. I am no Repub or conservative but I still like Nixon.
We can all agree on some things. I loved this and your comment.

I used to be both! And i'm old enough to remember this wedding! I liked Nixon too.....then. Still have to admire his friendship with JFK. And JFK's wonderful notes to Pat Nixon. I wonder if we could have those kinds of personal things back?
He was a good president. Others have done much worse thanks did with no consequence
I agree with you. I'm not a republican or conservative either. I grew up in Whittier, California which was Nixon's hometown. Everyone liked him. Whittier even had signs up stating it was his hometown and we were proud of that.
I hope they are living happily ever after.
They are!!💞💞💞 As is Julie and David 💞💞💞
@@janeiwasduncan8463 Hello. How are you doing?
This truly looked like a beautiful day ! Congratulations on 50 years! Happier times then.
Hello Brannon,
How are you doing ?
Mr. Liddon Pennock, of Rydal, Pa designed all of the flowers for the wedding. My Dad and my Grandfather were the gardeners for his residence, Meadowbrook Farms, so I spent a lot of time there. It was an absolutely beautiful place, stunning. My Mother was close friends with his wife, Alice, who was always very kind to us. They all have passed away, may all their souls Rest In Peace.
I love prez nixon I cried the day he passed away
He was a great man. America was poorer for his leaving.
Stunning bride. Love the dress and veil.
So different from those brides on that "Yes' show who want to be sexy walking down the aisle...the time to be sexy is on the wedding night☺️☺️
A happy memory. Thank you for posting this lovely video.

This happened a couple of months before I was born. What a fabulous perk of having your Father as the POTUS...you get an awesome wedding venue. Her dress was beautiful, their cake Wow! I love how everyone knew how to dance beautifully. A different era, I wish I could of known this America.
It was a wonderful time in the USA, before the press and media ruined it.
You did a wonderful job on this video. Thank you.
