Wedding Bells for Jenna Bush

del.icio.us

The countdown has begun for one of the most high profile weddings in the US- President George W Bush's daughter is to tie the knot with Henry Hager, the son of a Virginia politician, at a private ceremony with family and friends today (May 10).

Jenna is the first daughter of the United States and though she may have been politically incorrect on more than one occasion this time around she is giving her President father sleepless nights for a very different reason.

Bush has sprinkled references to his twin daughter Jenna's wedding in most public appearances for the last few months. At the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in
Washington, Bush joked about a recent television campaign ad for presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. He said using wording that echoed the ad, "Thank you all. Thank you very much. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Please excuse me if I am a little sleepy. At 3 am this morning, the red phone rang. It was the damn wedding planner."

Jenna Bush will walk down the aisle in a sunset wedding at daddy's Central Texan ranch on Saturday, to marry her sweetheart of 2 years - 29-year-old Business School student an son of a republican politcian.

Hager is understood to have proposed to Jenna Bush during a vacation last year at the President's Camp David retreat. they are expected to be married at the President's Crawford ranch just near Texas in front of 200 friends and family. But desipte the number of people attending it, it's officially being called a 'private ceremony'.

Jenna has always been in the public eye but the marriage will not be open to the public. However the focus is immense considering it is the first White House wedding since 1971, when President Nixon's daughter - Tricia was married.

While Bush might complain like the proverbial father of the bride, Jenna's wedding will no doubt give him a reason to smile, considering he's recently been declared the most unpopular American President in recent times.
