TRICIA NIXON COX AND THE LAST WHITE HOUSE WEDDING @ 50

Today is fifty years to the day that Tricia Nixon married Edward Cox in the Rose Garden of the White House. Richard Nixon was the President at the time and walked her down the aisle. After that, there has been no child of the President married on the grounds of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. My records show that there wasn’t even an opportunity for that to happen.

Nixon-Cox is now 75 and has lived a very private life in the suburbs of New York, She was a stay-at-home mother for her son, Christopher Nixon Cox, who was born in 1979.  Edward Cox is a corporate attorney and was a chairman of the New York Republican State Committee. She serves on the boards of many medical research institutions, as well as the Richard Nixon Foundation at the Nixon Library in California.

Nixon-Cox had a dispute with her sister, Julie Nixon Eisenhower in 2002 about how the Library  should be run when President Nixon’ old crony, Bebe Rebozo died in 2002 and left the library 67% of his wealth. The 19 million dollar bequest resulted in a lawsuit over the make up of the board but was resolved.
