布什愛女農場完婚
Jenna Bush couldn't see herself getting married at the White House surrounded by antique furniture and oil portraits of presidents. She and Henry Hager said "I do" Saturday at President Bush's ranch in Crawford where the corn is thigh-high, roads are named Cattle Drive and the Texas flag is painted on the rooftops of barns.
The president and the bride picked "You Are So Beautiful" for their father-daughter dance, according to band leader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tenn. Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do "Lovin’ in My Baby's Eyes" for the newlyweds' first dance.
Smith, who witnessed the wedding ceremony, said afterward the groom was dressed in a dark blue suit with powder-blue tie and the bride wore a "very simple and elegant" white dress, but did not wear a veil.
More than 200 family and friends converged for the nuptials on the 1,600-acre ranch where a tent was erected for the post-ceremony dinner and dancing.
Jenna's marriage to her longtime boyfriend Henry Hager made presidential history. She is the 22nd child of a president to get married while their father was in the Oval Office.
"This is a joyous occasion for our family," Bush said in his Saturday radio address. "It's also a special time for Laura who this Mother's Day weekend will watch a young woman we raised together walk down the aisle."
Henry Hager met Jenna during her father's 2004 re-election campaign. He graduated from Wake Forest University and worked as an aide to Bush's former top political adviser Karl Rove. He is set to receive a master's degree in business administration later this month from the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.
Hager proposed to Jenna during a mountain hike in August, 2007.
詹娜•布什沒有在擺滿古式傢俱和總統肖像的白宮舉行盛大婚禮，而是於上週六與亨利•哈格爾在布什總統的克勞福德農場低調完婚。這時的克勞福德農場穀物生長旺盛、阡陌縱橫，農舍的屋頂上都畫有得克薩斯州的州旗。
據田納西州納什維爾“Tyrone Smith Revue”樂隊的領隊蒂龍•史密斯介紹，布什總統與女兒在婚禮上共舞了一曲《你如此美麗》。史密斯與他的十人樂隊爲新郎新娘伴奏的第一支舞是《寶貝眼中的愛》。
見證婚禮全過程的史密斯之後透露，婚禮上哈格爾身着一套深藍色西服、佩戴一條淺灰藍色領帶，而詹娜則身着一席“十分簡單典雅”的白色婚禮，沒有戴面紗。
當天的婚禮在布什總統1600畝的農場舉行，共有200多位親朋好友前來參加
詹娜與交往多年的男友亨利•哈格爾的完婚創造了新的歷史，她是美國第22個在父親在任期間結婚的總統子女。
布什在其上週六的電臺講話中說：“這是我們家族十分快樂的時刻。今天對於勞拉來說也很特殊，她在母親節這天看到了我們的女兒走向婚姻的殿堂。”
哈格爾和詹娜於2004年在布什的第二次總統競選期間相識。哈格爾畢業於威克森林大學，曾是布什前高級政治顧問卡爾•羅弗的助手。他將於本月末拿到弗吉尼亞達頓商學院的工商管理碩士學位。
哈格爾在去年8月的一次遠足登山時向詹娜求婚。
