On their first date in 1934 Lyndon B. Johnson proposed marriage to Claudia Taylor. She refused. She accepted seven weeks later, and they married later that year, she becoming LBJ's 'Lady Bird.'
On the morning of Sept. 6, 1934, Johnson, then a young Congressional secretary, sat alone by the window of the Driskill Hotel’s dining room. Claudia Taylor, whose nickname was Lady Bird, hesitantly walked inside for her first date with the future president.

Their breakfast stretched into a daylong car ride and ended with a marriage proposal from Johnson.
