On December 9th, 1967, Lynda Bird Johnson married Marine Captain Charles S. Robb in the East Room of the White House. This documentary chronicles the wedding and surrounding events,
beginning with the engagement announcement and the succession of parties, showers and receptions held in her honor, to the ceremony in its entirety. Other highlights include LBJ’s toast at the
rehearsal dinner and both the bachelor’s night out and the bride’s night in with her lady companions. Even the conversion of the East Room into the wedding chapel is included.
More About the Video
The films created by The White House Naval Photographic Unit documented the life of the President and first family in both an official and unofficial capacity. During the early years of the Johnson administration the films primarily documented ceremonial events, but in June 1966 monthly reports concerning the President began being produced. The monthly reports provide insight into a range of the President’s activities by documenting and presenting a clear portrayal of what the President did in that month. The monthly reports also captured happenings in the life of the first family.
