"'Bingo,''' Breathitt remembered Nixon replying."'That's what we'll do.'" Breathitt then went to inspect the venue. News of the wedding dominated the airwaves, including on NPR, which said it was as if the event"were a coronation, a moon shot and a Holy Day all wrapped up into one!"The wedding day itself brought the thing every wedding planner fears: pouring rain. But unlike most couples, the Nixons had a special tool at their disposal.
"Finally [they radioed] and said, 'In 15 minutes, you will have a 35-minute break in the weather,'" she said."As soon as the last drop fell out of the sky, I ran around and put the cushions on all the chairs that had been in place."Karl Schumacher/White House Historical AssociationTricia Nixon and Edward Cox stand together on the balcony of the South Portico of the White House.
