Thank you my friend TSgt Joe C. for reminding us that on May 7, 1789 the first USA President George Washington attended the very first inaugural ball.
He had been sword in as the original President on April 30, 1789. He was urged by some to a permanent president but the idea was loath to him because it reminded him an d many Americans of the aristocracy in most of the world.

Can you picture your wife letting you get away with attending an inaugural ball without her? Martha was a special lady for sure.
