Crawford, Texas: US President George W. Bush's daughter Jenna on Saturday evening married Henry Hager, the son of the Virginia Republican Party chairman, in front of more than 200 family members and close friends.
The 26-year-old teacher and author, wearing a white Oscar de la Renta dress, and Hager, wearing a suit, were married around sundown before a limestone altar with a giant cross erected on Bush's 1,600-acre ranch.
The wedding was a private affair with no press in attendance. Jenna Bush's twin sister, Barbara, served as the maid of honor, and Hager's brother Jack was the best man, according to the White House. The wedding party also included 14 female attendants and 14 male ushers.
A White House spokeswoman declined to comment on whether Bush would take Hager's name or where the newlyweds would take their honeymoon. The Washington Post reported they would spend it in Europe.
