Jenna Bush plans Wedding

[GeekyPenguin]

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.
