After his return from that expedition Washington resigned his commission and on the 6th of January, 1759, they were married at her "White House" on York River and spent their honeymoon at her "Six Chimney House" in Williamsburg.
The young groom and farmer--as he would now have styled himself--was at this time not quite twenty-seven years old, six feet two inches high, straight as an Indian and weighed about one hundred and seventy-five pounds.

His bones and joints were large, as were his hands and feet.

He was wide-shouldered but somewhat flat-chested, neat-waisted but broad across the hips, with long arms and legs.

His skin was rather pale and colorless and easily burned by the sun, and his hair, a chestnut brown, he usually wore in a queue.

His mouth was large and generally firmly closed and the teeth were already somewhat defective.
