Jenna Bush plans Wedding

[bejazd]

She'll be a beautiful bride! I was kind of looking forward to a White House wedding too. I love this description of Jessie Wilson's wedding at the White House so I hope you'll enjoy it too...

The afternoon of November 25, 1913. Where? THe White House. The wedding of Jessie Wilson to Francis Sayre. Seven of the bride's Gamma Phi sisters were invited to attend, and we can image their excitement as they were ushered into the East Room where the ceremony took place. Jessie and her sister Margaret had attended Goucher College while their father, Woodrow Wilson, was President at Princeton. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo described the wedding in her book "The Woodrow Wilsons": the East Room blazing with lights, the Marine band in scarlet coats, and crowds of guests on either side of a white ribboned aisle. But the reception was the "nicest part." Jessie was beautiful than ever before. Only a few were allowed to into the Blue Rom, and there was no formal line or anything to suggest that it was anything more than a quiet home wedding. We chatted for a moment with President and Mrs. Wilson and went across the room to greet Jessie and Mr. Sayre. Surely no one but the Wilson's could have done it in just that way. When we drove away we decided it was the nicest, most informal and happiest wedding we had ever attended." Margaret Handy, The Crescent."

Isn't that great?

That is a beautiful story!!! I can't help but wonder if there will be any Theta things mixed into her wedding!!! As much as I love our colors and our flower they are not always wedding appropriate!

I don't think there is anything wrong with adult children campaigning for a political parent. Didn't a couple of Theresa Heinz's sons even campaign for their stepfather John Kerry? And although I am a die-hard registered Republican, I do admire the fact thet Chelsea has had the political savvy/common sense to keep shenanigans under wraps (if there were even any to hide) unlike the Bush girls and their underage exploits in college. In fact, I remember wondering why these girls thought they could get away with showing a fake ID at college bars with 2 very obvious Secret Service men in close attendance.

BTW, I am not a Theta, but GEN Alum is a West Point grad and the school colors are black, grey, and gold (the colors of the three components of gunpowder). Our wedding reception was at the Hotel Thayer on post and those colors were used by the interior decorator of the banquet room. Luckily it was relatively subdued so it wouldn't clash with typical wedding colors.

I think a White House wedding would make the day more about her dad and who her dad is than her and her fiance - she'd end up having to invite all sorts of dignitaries and ambassadors. If she does it at the ranch, it'll be more like Munchkin said and she can invite her friends from college and Theta sisters without the obligation of having to invite a whole ton of "dad's work friends."

I think the wedding at the ranch will also be a lot less scrutinized than a White House wedding would. Honestly, who wants every little detail of their wedding analyzed like that?

I agree with GeekyPenguin - I personally would be tempted to have the White House "Big Wedding." But I also think that it speaks volumes about Jenna Bush's character and personality that she would choose to have her own wedding at the family ranch in Texas. A wedding is about those who really love you, for both the bride and the groom. It lends itself to a more intimate surrounding than the White House offers. Jenna Bush is simply telling the country that she does not want the pomp & circumstance, although she can have it. I like her style.

I'm sure you never drank when you were underage. I felt bad for her with that whole fiasco.

That being said, whoever is marrying her is a lucky guy, shes cute as hell.

[Boodleboy322]

I was kidding. I agree - she's definately cute. I saw her in person at SMU years ago when her dad came into Dallas for a visit.
