I think a private wedding at the family home is most appropriate considering our nation is at war.
The Bushes have always displayed character and class.
I don’t think the men or women at war have a problem with the life going on at home that they are defending, going on at home while they are defending it.
There’s character and there’s misguided overkill.
I’m not even sure that is why Jena picked the farm. She may just prefer that atmosphere. If so, that’s fine by me. She certainly shouldn’t be obligated to use the White House.
I read somewhere that Jenna said that she and Henry wanted it in a place where they could return & relive memories of their special day.
It’s obviously easier to do that at the ranch than the White House.
Henry seems like a romantic guy.....giving her the ring at the top of Cadillac Mountain where there is a stunning view of the ocean.
Thank Julie. That sounds nice.
Secret tape recording of George W. Bush
In February 2005, after an article in the New York Times, Mr. Wead acknowledged that he had secretly tape recorded conversations with President George W. Bush. Wead contended that he began tape recording these conversations in 1998, in order to create a record of Bush, then Governor of Texas, as a historical figure and that it was his intention that they never see the light of day. Only a few minutes of the nine hours of conversations were made public, in them Bush is heard discussing potential 2000 presidential foes such as John McCain and Steve Forbes, and hints that he had smoked marijuana, but would not admit to it for fear of becoming a bad role model for children.
******
Doug Wead — a former aide to President Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush — recorded about nine hours of conversations with the Texas governor while he was considering his run for the White House.
On the tapes, the president appears to admit to past drug use and says he won’t join some conservative Christians he sees as “kicking gays.”
I would not marry a man who did not have the respect to ask my Father for my hand in marriage. It is polite and nice and shows the true character of a gentleman. I even know young men who ask if they can date my sisters daughter. Nice.
Does this mean you rent them, not buy 'em? That's a great ideerr-why buy a dress for one day's use, huh?!
I really like the Bush family and I’m looking forward to the pictures.
Ugly dresses, and the Bush Girls are so beautiful, it’s a shame.
Best of luck to the happy couple, they deserve it and getting married at the ranch will have special meaning to them in the years to come.

Got to love GW’s sense of humor, God bless the man.
I laughed at his response - sounded like he was selling a horse!
When Hager said "I want to marry your daughter,' Bush said he replied, "Done deal."
Those are as close to "off the rack" examples of De La Renta styles as you are going to find. There is no doubt in my mind that Jenna's dress will not be found on a runway model.
1. This one's not bad for the girly-girl. Elegant shape, not too frou-frou.
2. The poor girl looks like she fell into a vat of feathers.
3. Tube tops belong on the beach. Maybe. And instead of feathers, it looks more like an attack of paper stickers.
4. Uhhh, beading placement is everything. And the ethereal haze of the skirt just draws the eye up, magnifying the problem.
5. Great, another hazy, shapeless skirt. This one is attached to a generic fitted strapless bodice. About a zero or below on the personality scale.
6. With the use of fabric softener, this one will easily transition to a nightgown.
7. This one could have used a hint of coordinating embellishment on the bodice (maybe there is some at the neckline but I just can't tell). Otherwise this one is very nice. A clever mix of hard and soft lines, but the bodice really would look better with a narrow skirt. Oh well. It's classic with nothing weird, but it's not for the girly-girl.
#4 with the silver accents would be a tasteful prom dress :-).
I’ve told my daughter she can get married in her uniform, if she wants to, or in her cowboy outfit, just as long as it’s in a church!
The dresses are not something I would choose—but worse than the dresses are the sourpuss models. Good grief!
They look like they’re marrying Democrats.
For some reason, I don't think that will be a problem this saturday! I think they know who he is... and where he live!
Please add an appropriate S.
You’re just looking for a fight, aren’t you?
Please reread carefully and consider the context in which my comments were made. I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck.
