Presidential Marriage Marked by Secrecy, Dorkiness

Mmmm, May in Texas: It's a great time to run for the nearest air-conditioned building and never leave it. But the heat didn't bother President George W. Bush as he celebrated daughter Jenna's wedding on the family ranch in Crawford, Texas. (Jenna's on the right above with twin Barbara, impolitely wearing a white dress, on the other side of their beaming parents.)

Jenna wore Oscar de la Renta for her first dance with her new husband Henry Hager, a former employee in the office of Karl Rove (who was at the wedding); the tune was Taj Mahal's "Lovin' In My Baby's Eyes." Jenna's the first child of a sitting president to wed in 16 years, but she opted not to marry at the White House. At least there she might not have seen her dad getting down to the Archies on the dance floor. Oh, uncoordinated dads, you know no politics!

Honeymoon plans have not been released, but Jenna has been traveling far and wide to promote her family-planning novel Ana's Story, even making a stop at our old high school. Now that the president's back in DC, maybe she and Henry can have a staycation on the ranch!

Presidential Family Wedding Hits Texas In '08

Get your parachutes ready, because you're going to have to get your own transportation in for the Wedding of the Century. That would be Jenna Bush's upcoming nuptials, which will be held not so coincidentally in the last year of her father's term at the family ranch in Crawford. Jenna's probably not too happy that details of the happy occasion have been leaked to the press, but we now know that the wedding will take place on May 10 at the ranch and not, as previously speculated, at the White House. (Hey, it was good enough for Nellie Grant, Alice Roosevelt and Lynda Johnson...)

Jenna announced her engagement to Henry Hagar, formerly in the family business (he worked for Karl Rove before the latter resigned), in August. Since then, she's been on a tour for her book, Ana's Story, which is based on her experiences as a UNICEF volunteer.

According to HotelChatter , there are no hotels in Crawford, so prepare to either pitch a tent or stay in nearby Waco. Congratulations to the happy couple!
