President's Daughter To Marry Today In Texas

CRAWFORD, Texas -- The president's 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford, Texas, is all gussied up for this evening's wedding of Jenna Bush to long-time boyfriend Henry Hager. President Bush will walk his daughter down the aisle before about 200 friends and family members in a very private outdoor ceremony.

The festivities got under way last night with a rehearsal dinner hosted by the groom's parents in the tourist town of Salado, Texas, about 54 miles from Crawford. There'll be a barbecue lunch today back at the ranch. The father of the bride uses his weekend radio chat today to pay tribute to her and her mother, the first lady. Bush calls it "a joyous occasion" for the family and especially for Laura Bush. He notes that she'll spend Mother's Day weekend watching her daughter walk down the aisle.

The tiny town of Crawford is celebrating at a distance. A town statue has been decorated with a veil and bouquet. Souvenirs on sale include key chains and coffee mugs adorned with pictures of the bride and groom

Thanks Jenna for standing up to the prying news media. As you never gaved a moment of peace to President Bush during the 8 years of being in the White House, Jenna is paying back.

Best wishes for a long and happy married life for Jenna and Henry. She did the right thing by going home to TX to get married and avoid the linelight of DC. Good for her. The Bushes did a good job raising their two daugthers. :)

I do hope the Dems have the common sense to stay low key and let the Bushes have this special day.

Personally, even though President Bush is far from perfect, I’d rather have him serve a third time, than have McCain. I’m voting for McCain, but only because he is the least of the three evils. I have been a staunch supporter of the president for these past eight years. I’ll be sad to see him go.

Thank you for the pictures of the wildflowers Mrs Bush has spoke about..they are beautiful indeed. I pray today is everything Jenna and Henry hopes it will be. Having one son married I know the bitter sweet emotions the two sets of parents will be feeling. Best wishes to all!

That photo alone would make you like her. A girl with a mind of her own. Not a puppet.

Publicly no doubt but I bet GWB had a twinge of jealousy and wished that he could have done that to the press. :o)

Thanks for all the pictures and posts.

I celebrate this wonderful day for President and Mrs. Bush and for their daughter - the bride- Jenna and for their almost son-in-law Henry.

President and Mrs Bush will now have a son! Th

Jenna will now have a wonderful husband!

Barbara will now have a brother in law!

And who knows, maybe some little Jenna’s and Henry’s coming soon!

God bless them all! Congratulations to all!

I LOVE the fact that Jenna felt no compulsion to force the media circus that a White House wedding would have brought.

This family - God bless them and keep them - have added so much class and beauty and graciousness to our White House and our nation.

Thank you, W, and thank you, God!

Jenna and her Father will feel today in that moment.

My guess is that Jenna's father will be tearing. Today, GWB is just a happy father of the bride.

Why does Julie Nixon Eisenhower list as part of her experience as being on the board of “Obama for America”?

I guess Tricia is the only good Republican Nixon daughter.

Forget the in-laws, think of who you’d be waking up to every morning! With Jenna or Barbara, it would be easier to get along with the in-laws and either one would be much more pleasant to wake up to too!
