WASHINGTON — The president and first lady have released few details about their daughter Jenna’s wedding Saturday to Henry Hager at their 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Jenna, 26, will wear an Oscar de la Renta gown at the outdoor ceremony with dinner and dancing. The bride has 14 attendants, who are known in Texas not as bridesmaids but members of the “house party.” Jenna’s twin, Barbara, is the maid of honor.
On Monday, the president disclosed that Jenna will say “I do” near a lake at the ranch — in front of a giant cross made of Texas limestone. The president said that was his contribution to the wedding that the Bushes are trying to keep a low-key affair.
It was on Aug. 15, 2007, that Hager rousted Jenna at 4 a.m. to go hiking on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. “When we got towards the top — with the sunrise — he asked me,” she said.
