Jenna Bush: I wanted my wedding to reflect my 'unglamorous' personality
06:40 PM CDT on Wednesday, May 7, 2008
CRAWFORD, Texas—There will be some serious Texas two-stepping come Saturday at the Western White House in Crawford.
First Daughter Jenna Bush and Henry Hager will tie the knot at her father’s ranch this weekend, but don’t expect them to reveal too much about their nuptials.
The couple vowed to keep their special day a private affair.
“I wanted to have something more private and something my personality a little bit more, as unglamorous as it is,” Bush said.
But the event will be anything but unglamorous for the 200 guests.
The parties at the ranch are set to begin Thursday evening.
There will be a second party Friday, a brunch Saturday and the wedding itself at 7:30 p.m. that night.
“We are very thrilled, and of course Jenna is happy and Henry is happy, and that makes their mother and dad very happy,” Laura Bush said.
One tidbit the White House did release regarding the affair is about the bride-to-be’s dress.
Jenna will be wearing Oscar de la Renta.
Similar dresses at Saks Fifth Avenue in Houston run anywhere from $5,000 - $20,000.
Jenna’s dress will have organza embroidery, matte beading and a small train.
All of the food served at the wedding will be organic.
And the organic theme may not stop there.
“Organic can go much further than the food items that are used, recyclable, it can be all the way, which is wonderful today,” Tony Vallone of Tony’s said.
No cell phones or cameras will be allowed during the ceremony.
Still, the paparazzi have already camped out in Crawford in the hopes of snapping a photo of the happy couple.
