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.

I completely agree with you.
At our wedding our photographer took a similar photo of me and my husband. Some photographers have the knack to capture such wonderful moments.
Thanks for the links.
BTTT ... great post
Wow, that’s a beautiful picture! I always thought the other twin, Jenna, was by far the better looking one, but Barbara is a knock-out in those pictures!
Of course, that should be “Jenna looks great”!
...embarrassed...
We knew what you meant. ;)
Looks like the buttons on that brown suit are straining a bit...these days. (ahem)

God be with those suffering from
weather’s fury today.
Wow! She is Laura Bush with her dad's nose. Just beautiful!
“Did you hear the new couple bought a home in Federal Hill?”
Hadn’t heard that.
Terrific!
Nice .. taking his name. Caption for cake picture:
“Henry and Jenna Hager pause as they cut their wedding cake Saturday, May 10, 2008, during a reception in their honor following the ceremony at Prairie Chapel Ranch near Crawford, Texas.”
Looking at that picture, I think it odd that Democrats believe President Bush is in any was a racist Republican.
What a lovely bride. Best wishes to the newlyweds!
