This Saturday, Jenna Bush is getting married in a low-key ceremony at the Bush Family Ranch in Crawford, Texas. The first family is occupied with the arrangements for the big event. Jenna opted out of having a large White House wedding stating that, she was raised in Texas and having a White House wedding just wasn't her style". Although it may not be as glamourous as a White House wedding, Jenna will be wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown, surrounded by 14 bridemaids, at the foot of a limestone cross. The outdoor ceremony is expected to have more than 200 guests. President Bush joked about being excluded from the wedding plans, which have been made mostly by his daughters and wife.
This outdoor Texas wedding is being contrasted with that of Alice Roosevelt, the daughter of former President Theodore Roosevelt. The Roosevelt wedding was a glamourous during a time of prosperity and during a popular presidency. The Bush family is far more private and the country is experiening war and economic strife.
