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
I will do a ping after we get some photos of THE WEDDING.
If anyone sees the photos before I do, do not hesitate to post them as I will be in and out today, as many of us will be, between Church and Mother's Day celebrations.
Here is a tidbit from last night that I do not think has been posted
the groom was dressed in a dark blue suit with powder-blue tie and the bride wore a "very simple and elegant" white dress, but did not wear a veil.
....Jenna Bush's paternal grandparents, President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, spoke during the wedding, though he (the band leader)could not hear their comments.
Souvenir shops ran out of mugs, key chains, mouse pads and other wedding memorabilia, with many having to take special orders for the merchandise.
"We sold out Friday," said Jaime Burgess, manager of Red Bull, who served wedding cake and cookies made from first lady Laura Bush's own recipe to shoppers. "It's great. It shows how much people do support Jenna and Henry."
And Jenna's dad, the president.
Many visitors said they are big Bush supporters and wanted to be there for him.
"President Bush is a good person, and he loves his country," said Deborah Miller of Grand Prairie. "We don't like all his ideas, but we'd do anything for him."
Thanks for shots of some of our wonderful Salado venues. It’s a wonderful town in which to live, and we are so proud that the President, First Lady and Jenna picked our town.
God Bless Them and God Bless America

Amazing, isn't it! And something the nightly news never tells anyone. They just like to harp on his 'job approval' numbers.
For example, I loved to recreate the White House theme for Christmas decorating each year. (Ho hum...it just won't be the same after this one ;(. ) I would always start with basic bland items and color scheme, and then add accents that corresponded with their theme for the year. It sure was a lot of fun.
Jenna and Henry wedding, I know, was just perfect! (Still want to see pictures...LOL) Good for her for having the wedding in Texas where the media harpies are LEFT OUT, and her Special Day was really special....for all of us who value the Bush family.
There is a herd, here are some of the photos
