Wedding of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom
- ... that the wedding of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom had the president walking his own bride down the aisle? Source: Schneider, Dorothy; Schneider, Carl J. (2010). "Frances (Frank) Folsom Cleveland". First Ladies: A Biographical Dictionary (3rd ed.). Facts on File. pp. 139–146. ISBN 978-1-4381-0815-5.
"Frances had planned for her grandfather to give her away, but he had died while she was sailing home from Europe, so at 6:30 in the evening of June 2 while the Marine Band played Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” President Cleveland escorted his tall, slender, blue-eyed, chestnut-haired bride down the grand staircase, along the hall, and into the Blue Parlor."- ALT1: ... that before the wedding of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom there were rumors that Grover Cleveland intended to marry Folsom's mother? Source: Caroli, Betty (2010). First Ladies: From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama. Oxford University Press, USA. pp. 105–108. ISBN 978-0-19-539285-2.
"Anyone observing Grover’s attentiveness to Frances over the years might have guessed at his intentions had not the twenty-seven-year difference in their ages made marriage seem unlikely. Gossip centered more on Frances’s mother as the subject of the courtship than on the daughter." - Reviewed: [[]]

Long enough, new enough. I find ALT0 and ALT1 interesting. ALT2 I don't like its wording, it would need to be rewritten. The article is up to snuff. Good job! No QPQ needed since you've less than 5 DYKs. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 00:08, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
