Taft Bride's Social Wedding in Cincinnati Years Ago
The 1883 engagement of William Howard Taft to Nettie Herron culminated in a quiet Cincinnati wedding. Taft built a home on Walnut Hills with a modest bank account then traveled abroad before returning to take a Cincinnati judgeship. The ceremony reflected a restrained social event with few guests and no public gifts.
