Often done 50 years ago. Not so often done now days. Even back then the gal was usually asked first (perhaps in secrecy to "keep up appearances") to avoid any embarrassment on the guy's part if she later laughed him out the door.

I was married on Saturday, May 12, 1979. Mother's Day was the next day. I ordered flowers for my mother, my new mother-in-law and my godmother when I ordered the wedding flowers. They were delivered the next day, Sunday. We were off to Jamaica by the time they arrived, but it worked out well.

The lusty month of May is a terrific time to jump the broom and whatever comes after. ;-)

In Texas, May - especially outdoors - is particularly unlucky what with the F4 and F5s roaring all over the place.

Best wishes for the couple.

[Abathar]

That’s exactly how my wife and I did it.

[No Truce With Kings]

“I doubt they will ever have a hard time getting a table, and the cost of flowers probably matters little to them.”

Don’t be too sure about that. After all, doesn’t she plan to be a schoolteacher? We know what they get paid.

[Prokopton]

I pray they have a wonderful life together.

[DoughtyOne]

I wish them happiness as well. This is a time of celebration for them, and I don’t see any reason why politics should enter into it. I agree.

[Hatteras]

Don't do it Jenna! You're much too good for that clown. Come home with me. My wife will understand... maybe... okay, well... no, she won't and then I'll be pretty much homeless but then we can run away together, we'll buy an old VW bus, we'll live off the land, we won't have much, but we'll have each other...

Sure, it'll work, I just know it!...

[Hyzenthlay]

I agree... most girls I know, while the proposal itself may have been kept secret, were very conscious of when their relationship reached the stage where they knew he was going to propose sooner or later.

[Abathar]

He is a lucky guy I must admit.

[Hatteras]

"After all, doesn’t she plan to be a schoolteacher? We know what they get paid."

I certainly hope she won't be the one buying the flowers.

If I wanted to marry the daughter of the President of the United States, you’d better believe I’d do it by the book.

I “met” Jenna and Laura Bush last week at a book signing in TX. Incredibly friendly people, they just loved to talk to the kids. Jenna was cracking jokes and full of personality, and this was three hours into the signing. Best of luck to her.

[I still care]

I would have loved a white house wedding. It would be fun to see fox have something other than endless Obama and Hillary, and weddings of nice young people are always sweet.

But I fully understand why they don’t want it. Can you imagine the snide anchors at MSNBC whining on happy they are while soldiers their age are dying in Iraq? Count on it, they’d work it in, the creeps.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, well you can console yourself that Jena didn’t have outside influences if you like.

I have no problem with Jena picking where ever she liked. This wasn’t about trashing Jena. It was about trashing anyone that would oppose her having the wedding at the White House.

There are time when I really have to wonder about folks...

[mimaw]

She'd have had the DBM degrading the family and Jenna for such an elaborate affair during a time when soldiers are dying in Iraq and the economy is in the toilet. They’d find a grieving relative to denounce it and all the ner-do-wells of the demrat party would comment on how many children could have had health insurance for the cost. I don't blame them for wanting to keep it private. I hope when the President leaves office he tells the DBM to kiss his a$$.

[DoughtyOne]

The anti-Bush press and detractors will have their day anyway. We all know it. Thumb in the eyes is the rule of the day...

"Even John Adams didn't go on Mount Rushmore, but Teddy Roosevelt went on Mount Rushmore."

T.R. was a conservationist, who according to the Mt. Rushmore website, "set aside five National Parks, eighteen National Monuments, and millions of acres of National Forest for America." Who else should go on Mt. Rushmore, but the man who helped establish our National Park system.

As far as this young couple goes, I wish them well. They are entitled to have THEIR wedding wherever and however THEY choose. It's not about performing for the public or the press.

[dandiegirl]

“George Bush is a class act and would not have his daughter’s wedding on our nickel... that’s how I read it”

Plus- they are probably not obligated to invite all the Washington people like Pelosi, Reed, etc. whom they would not want around. A White House wedding would seem have to be a little more political with the invitations.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Wait, I thought she was marrying me!! Just look at how nice of a couple we make....!
