Alice Roosevelt Weds Nicholas Longworth in White House Ceremony
The wedding linked Alice Roosevelt to Nicholas Longworth with a grand White House ceremony attended by cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, and foreign ambassadors. The couple pledged vows in the East Room as De Koven’s music filled the hall, followed by a two hour breakfast and a swift honeymoon by private car to the South. The event drew lavish gifts from royalty and diplomats, while Longworth’s Cincinnati lineage and political ascent framed the union with a future in Congress and White House life.
