Nancy Reagan Covered Her Baby Bump With Her Wedding Gown
Nancy Davis dated several celebrities before meeting Ronald in 1949, while he was president of the Screen Actors Guild. Ronald disliked marriage, especially after his divorce from Jane Wyman. He and Nancy married in 1952 after a three-year engagement. To avoid the press, the wedding was held at the last minute, with only the best man and matron of honor in attendance. Nancy was expecting her first child at the time of the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Little Brown Church. She was dressed in a simple, no-frills gown.

Ronald did not hold back when it came to grandiose festivities. His inaugural celebrations were considered to be costly. Because the country was in the grip of a recession, this received some public criticism. Nancy attended her first inaugural ball in a white beaded one-shoulder silk satin gown with a lace overlay. Nancy wore the designer Galanos gown after Reagan was re-elected for a second term. The designer and her crew are said to have spent more than 300 hours hand-beading the outfit. It is anticipated that the gown will cost $46,000!
