Document source description
Original Exhibition Caption: Eleanor Roosevelt was Theodore Roosevelt's niece. After she was orphaned in 1894, he became her surrogate parent. In 1904, Eleanor wrote to her uncle, now serving as President of the United States, to ask if he would "give the bride away" at her wedding to Franklin Roosevelt. He happily accepted. The Roosevelts were married in New York City on March 17, 1905-St. Patrick's Day. That date was selected because the President was scheduled to be in the city to attend the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
