Today at about the time this thread is posted the President will be walking his daughter Jenna down the aisle in Crawford Texas as she marries Henry Hager. The White House has promised to release a couple of photos of this very private event tomorrow.
On Friday evening the President attended a wedding rehearsal dinner near his ranch and the previous evening the Vice President spoke at an event in Washington celebrating the 60th year of the nation of Israel.
Pray for President Bush -- Day 2795

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Stunning was EXACTLY the word that came to mind when I saw her dress! So simple, yet just gorgeous, and perfect for the venue!! Laura’s dress is beautiful, too, and the absolute PERFECT color for her. I believe it must match her eyes.

That cake is beautiful with all the fresh flowers on and around it. It’s so great that Jenna and Henry got to have the wedding THEY wanted, simple, elegant, but not frou-frou, and certainly not designed to impress anyone but themselves and their friends and families. And they looked like they were having the time of their lives, as it SHOULD be!
*snort* Ain't THAT the truth!
Thanks. Indeed it is. All photos are just beautiful

Jenna is a beautiful bride and it sounds like she had a wonderful day with her Henry. I’m glad she did it “her” way, but also happy she agreed to share some photos with the country. All in all, just a lovely girl!

THE PRESIDENT: Laura and I want to wish everybody a happy Mother's Day. It's just a special day to give thanks to our Moms; appreciate the hard work that Moms do. And I understand that for some, however, Mother's Day is a sad day for those who lost their lives in Oklahoma and Missouri and Georgia because of the tornadoes, are wondering whether or not tomorrow will be a bright and hopeful day. We send our prayers to those who lost their lives, the families of those who lost their lives. And the federal government will be moving hard to help. I'll be in touch with the governors to offer all the federal assistance we can.

It's just -- it's all we could have hoped for. The weather cooperated nicely; just as the vows were exchanged the sun set over our lake and it was just a special day and a wonderful day and we're mighty blessed.
Anyway, thank you all.
Great photos. Thanks for posting them

You think Billy Jeff would have bend down and picked up the Marine's dress uniform cap?
The family, the dress, the altar/cross, the setting — PERFECT, simply perfect! . . . I wouldn’t have expected anything else from the Bush family — they personify dignity and class!

A ‘TRULY JUST GORGEOUS AND TASTEFUL’ EVENT
Guests at Bush nuptials spill the beans about the dress and who else made the guest list
By SHELBY HODGE

It was a night of presidential mood swings Saturday when first daughter Jenna Bush wed Henry Hager.
Walking Jenna down the aisle at the ranch in Crawford, President George Bush displayed the famous family emotions —his tears visible as the two approached the limestone cross where the ceremony was held.
Before the night was out, the president was on stage briefly whooping it up with Super T and his 10-piece show band from Nashville, Tenn.

I really liked the color scheme...icy and cool. W looked so handsome and happy. GREAT dress on all but Barbara...just didn’t get that one. I can’t wait to see the rest! There were 14 on each side!!!
I LOVED THE CAKE TOO - VERY CLASSY!!!
What a wonderful, happy, beautiful wedding. Loved the wedding gown and Laura’s dress. Jenna and Henry make a cute couple. Also loved the lining in President Bush 41 blue blazer, red and white strips- so classy!
