Reagan, Ronald and Nancy (1911-2004) 40th President of the United States (1981-1989). Marriage license signed "Ronald Reagan" and "Nancy Reagan" as witnesses for their friends Ted Nittler and Marni McCormack, Los Angeles, Dec. 18, 1970. Governor and Mrs. Reagan give their address as 1341 45th St., Sacramento, CA. The original marriage license was misplaced before the ceremony so Governor Reagan called California Secretary of State Jerry Brown and obtained the information needed to go ahead with the wedding without a marriage certificate. After they returned to Sacramento, the Reagans got a blank photocopy of a marriage certificate and signed it as witnesses; Mrs. Reagan then sent it to Mrs. Nittler to have it signed by the officiating minister. A photocopy of Mrs. Reagan's letter to Mrs. Nittler is enclosed, beginning, "Enclosed is the 'mysterious document' which we've signed…." Accompanied by a 5 x 4¾ in. color photo of Governor and Mrs. Reagan looking on approvingly as the newly-married couple drinks champagne. Also, a two-page transcript of a report on the wedding by Toni Holt for KHJ-TV, which notes the Reagans' presence (Mrs. Reagan wore black), along with that of Steve Allen, Jayne Meadows, George Maharis, and Fred Astaire's daughter, Ava MacKenzie, and her husband. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000
