50 years ago today - Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox were Married in the White House Rose Garden 

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'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?

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.

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?

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.

@@barbiecrocker7420 Hello. How are you doing?

Oh wow! How cool is that!!!

Hello Janet Phillips. How are you doing?

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.

True! She looked much more royal than MM was!

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!!

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

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.

Praise the Lord that they survived the good times and the bad yet they hung in there and stayed together! Happy Anniversary 2 u both!

@Mary Hlad History is in the past. Lets celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Edward & Tricia Cox. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!

@@kimbattles2399 How are you doing?

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.

Hello Camille😊

Hello Charlotte Vale. How are you doing?

@albert trinidad... The spying of Obama never has been punished. Obama spying on Trump's Campaing.

How in any way can you say this was a gentler and truer America. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E1%BB%B9_Lai_massacre ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Pwro3vCUdU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hZHOGGWG0H8.html

@@nigel65deck just look at Chicago.. dead all over..most young black men..that didn"t happen 50 years ago...unbridled looting , mostly in democratic run cities , come on...just how old are you??? Can you even remember the 60s??? I can....I can even remember the 50s..the music was even bettter..

Ditto.

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?

Amen

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 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.

Hello, How are you doing ?

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.

Hello Lisbet Wood. How are you doing?

How are you doing?

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.

Once?

Like Watergate?? I separate Nixons perfidy from his innocent family.

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 Bebe Rebozo. Life isn't always pretty.

@@anneheimburger3186 Exactly my thoughts. Read his comments about Indira Gandhi. He and the old man , now nearing 100 together created the Frankenstein to the north of India.

@@anneheimburger3186 Hello. How are you doing?

That’s neat that the recipe was shared wow.

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 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.

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 RU-vid 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!

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 :)

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.

How are you doing?

@@hurst-cs2jh how are you.

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?

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 !

I STRONGLY agree. He was a great man

"Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results, not attributes." Richard Nixon was a great man and leader. 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.

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.

Obama was and continues to be the biggest curse ever on our country, as he rules over his third term thru useful idiot Buyden.

Hello Debi😊

@@GiftSparks How can you say that when the girl Tricia has been married to one man for more than 50 years?

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.

We can all agree on some things. I loved this and your comment.

@@BabsLongfellow Amen!

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.

😂you are talking about the Nixon administration and in the same text you talk about Grace, Class and taste? Are we talking about the same period, the same family Nixon? How old are you? Do you live in a different era than I. I remember Watergate, coverup and impeachment.

@@lenybouwman5121 And the bigoted and antisemitic words from Nixon that we learned of from the tapes.

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.

He was a great man. America was poorer for his leaving.
