Jenna Bush & Henry HagerPresident George W. Bush's daughter Jenna has married her longtime boyfriend Henry Hager. The pair exchanged vows at sundown on Saturday in a private ceremony held at President Bush's secluded Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas.

The couple - who announced their engagement last August - wed in front of 200 guests at the ranch, including family, friends and White House staff.

Led down the aisle by her father George W. Bush, Jenna wore an Oscar de le Renta wedding gown, and was followed by her twin sister Barbara, who acted as the bride's maid of honor.

In his weekly radio broadcast on the morning of the wedding day, President Bush told of his joy for his daughter's marriage plans and looked forward to walking her down the aisle.

He stated, "This is a joyous occasion for our family, as we celebrate the happy life ahead of (Jenna) and her husband, Henry. It's also a special time for Laura (his wife), who this Mother's Day weekend will watch a young woman we raised together walk down the aisle."

Hager, whose father is a prominent Virginian Republican, also celebrated another milestone over his wedding weekend - he turned 30 on Friday.

Jenna became the first sitting president's child in 16 years to marry - the last being her aunt Dorothy Koch, daughter of her grandfather President George. H. W. Bush, who was married at Camp David in 1992.

The newlyweds will be based in Baltimore, Maryland, where Hager will begin work for an energy company after completing his business degree. Jenna, 25, will continue with her career as a teacher, reports People.com.
