Scene of Two Weddings
It was particularly fitting that
the wedding should take place in
Old Christ Church, inaSmuch as

married there in 1875. The
Stuart family occupied the Wash

has been associated with the
church since colonial days.
The reception which followed in
Gadsby Tavern, where George
Washington led the minuet with
Sally Fairfax in Revolutionary
time, was the first reception to
have been held at the Tavern since
then and probably will be the last
as this historic place is now being
used as a museum.
