Mrs. Bush with White House Chefs at Doro Bush's Wedding
In this photograph White House Kitchen staff pose with First Lady Barbara Bush at Dorothy "Doro" Bush's wedding at Camp David on June 27, 1992. Doro Bush was President George H. W. Bush and Mrs. Bush's youngest child. Around 100 guests watched Doro Bush exchange vows with Robert "Bobby" Koch in Camp David's chapel followed by a buffet reception outdoors. The wedding was known as the "Stealth Wedding" because it was kept so secret from the press. White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier and assistant pastry chef Franette McCulloch were asked to make the wedding cake. Both chefs submitted designs and Chef McCulloch's was selected for the wedding. From left to right are White House Executive Chef Pierre Chambrin, Mrs. Bush, Chef McCulloch, and Chef Mesnier.
This photograph is part of a personal collection belonging to former White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier. Chef Mesnier created elaborate desserts for the White House from 1980 to 2004.
