Former president George W. Bush's daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, had a memorable wedding ceremony when she married Henry Hager in 2008. HuffPost reported that more than 200 friends and family members attended the gathering in Crawford, Texas, Jenna wore an Oscar de la Renta wedding gown, and Barbara Bush, Jenna's sister, served as the maid of honor. This picture-perfect celebration was not originally what Jenna's father had in mind for his daughter's wedding, the television journalist recently explained on the "Today" show.
As she spoke with her fellow "Today" journalist, Hoda Kotb, Jenna said George initially suggested that she and Henry could elope together, instead of hosting a large ceremony. "My dad wanted us to elope because it was a pain," she said to Kotb. "He was like, 'What are y'all doing? Y'all should just elope.'" At the time, George was still serving as president, so an elopement likely would have been easier on his busy schedule.
But, the 2008 ceremony was a special moment that initiated a blissful union –– Jenna and her husband now have three kids and still seem just as in love as ever.
