Few rooms in the White House have hosted as many formal occasions as the East Room, and on June 11, 1971, it was set up for a rehearsal for the wedding of Tricia Nixon, the President's elder daughter. The ceremony itself took place the following afternoon in the Rose Garden, but the rehearsal shows how much planning went into a White House wedding. Official photographs like this one record the preparations behind a private family event that drew wide public attention.
