Soon-to-be newly-wed: Henry Hager and Jenna Bush picture (via)
As expected, Henry Hager and Jenna Bush's wedding will take place on the coming Saturday May 10. Because thinking of having the wedding at the White House just not becoming her style, Jenna Bush insisted she marry Henry Hager in Texas. As a result, the ceremony will be held at his father's 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford.
According to AP, because Henry Hager and Jenna Bush marriage is a private (how private? read the following quoted from Kansascity.com) and family affair, the White House did not issue any press release about the wedding.
Celebrity gawkers are apoplectic. There’s a wedding Saturday, and it will be a private affair. Extremely private.
The marriage of 26-year-old Jenna Bush, one of President and Laura Bush’s twin daughters, to Henry Hager will not be televised and will not be at the White House.
High-tech fences, surveillance cameras and untold numbers of Secret Service agents will keep the uninvited miles away. Federal Aviation Administration rules — and military interceptor aircraft — will ensure that paparazzi lenses will be nowhere in the nearby sky.
More than 200 friends and relatives will attend the outdoor ceremony with dinner and dancing at the Western White House where a tent is being erected. On the day, Bride Jenna Bush will wear an Oscar de la Renta gown and have 14 bridemaids with sister Barbara Bush being her maid of honor. Henry Hager, the bride groom, will wear a Hagers family heirloom diamond ring with sapphires.
Hager & Jenna met in 2004's presidential campaign
Probably, President Bush himself couldn't be any happier to become an official father-in-law, he revealed on Monday that daughter Jenna will say "I do" (nuptial vows) in front of a giant cross made of Texas limestone in his in Crawford that will serve as an altar.
Jenna Bush, 26, was proposed by Henry Hager, 29, on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine last August. The pair met during Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. Link
