Against the backdrop of a stunning Texas sunset, near a lake on the Bush family's 1,600-acre ranch, President Bush walked his daughter, Jenna, down the aisle to her groom, the White House said.
Jenna Bush and Henry Hager say "I do" on Saturday. "We're mighty blessed," President Bush said.
Jenna, 26, married Henry Hager, the son of a well-connected Virginia Republican.
"The wedding was spectacular. It was all we could have hoped for," the president said Sunday before boarding Air Force One.
"We're mighty blessed."
Wearing a white silk organza Oscar de la Renta gown, the bride stood with the groom before a beige-colored cross and altar made of Texas limestone.
The White House declined to release many details of the festivities, citing the family's wish for privacy.
Bush family friend Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston officiated as the couple exchanged wedding vows in front of some 200 family members and friends.
The guests arrived in five coach buses and were waved through the ranch's checkpoint around 7 p.m.

Afterwards, under a tent nestled in a thick cluster of trees, the celebration included dinner and dancing to the music of the Motown-style band, the Tyrone Smith Review, the White House said.
A CNN camera crew positioned miles from the wedding site saw a glimpse of the white tent, illuminated with what appeared to be strings of lights hanging from the ceiling.
The president and the bride picked "You Are So Beautiful" for their father-daughter dance, band leader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tennessee. told The Associated Press. Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do "Lovin' in My Baby's Eyes" by Taj Mahal for the newlyweds' first dance.

So which ones James and which ones Amy. I can’t tell them apart.
The barefoot one is Amy or so it was said. They got married at Miss Lillian’s Pond House out by the pond.
Is the cake leaning right?
:)
Top layer is, I think .. ;)
Please, I beg you, tell me that’s not that idiot Max Cleland in the picture!
No, Henry’s dad
Thanks for the pics. I’ve been waiting to see her dress. Looks like a lovely wedding.
Nice poster from Camp Casey. Did Cindy do it herself? Geez.
OMG that’s Amy Carter? Oy.
May God bless the happy couple.
I was surprised by both the Camp Casey and Crawford Peace House signs wishing the couple well. Cindy I doubt even remembers where Crawford is now.
Ah, finally! I’ve been dying to see her dress!
Thanks for the post.
Is their preacher a black man?? I didn't realize that.
Agree 100%. That's all you see in the marriage announcements photos these days, and very few women look good in them.
Mazel tov!

The top layer of cake looks shaky.
Good stuff!
That’s the groom’s father .. Mr. Hager

SQQUUEE! Cake (it looks yummy)
That dress is not only beautiful, it’s perfect for her body. Great choice! So many brides pick dresses that would look great on someone else. Kudos for her good taste!
