Jenna Bush decided to stay true to her roots and declined a White House wedding, opting for a mere intimate family affair at the Crawford Ranch. It would have been an international extravaganza for sure at the WH. Kudos for them for wanting this day to be about them and family.
Jenna told Vogue that she considered a White House affair, but felt it was too formal. “Henry and I are far less glamorous than the White House.” Citing her and Hager’s love of the outdoors, she told Vogue, “It means a lot to Henry and me to be outdoors. We wanted something organic and low key.”
To avoid the Texas heat, the 200 guests will gather just before sunset at 7:30 p.m.
They will be married at twilight in front of a limestone alter and cross that Dubya had build especially for this momentous occiasion.
Jenna’s dress is organza with embroidery, beading and a small train. Barbara, serving as maid of honor, will wear a moonstone-blue silk gown with an open back. Fourteen friends will serve in the house party, wearing custom gowns of cocktail length in shades of Texas wildflowers.
“It will be really beautiful,” Laura Bush said. “This is the time when the wildflowers are all blooming. And I think it will be a very, very lovely wedding, and it will be very like Jenna and Henry. And, of course, that’s what we want. We want what she wants.”
What did Dubya had to say about the weddinig…?
”I have nothing to say about it. They let me spend money.” Last month, while on a visit to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the President had joked, “I had to face some very difficult spending decisions and I’ve had to conduct sensitive diplomacy. That’s called planning for a wedding.”
