Here comes the bride

Well, tomorrow is the big day for the Bush family as Jenna and fiancé Henry Hager finally tie the knot. Crawford is buzzing with activity as the Texas town prepares for the influx of tourists. The wedding, after all, is the social event of the year–maybe even the century–for the one-stoplight town. The locals say they feel honored the president’s daughter chose the ranch over a big White House bash.
But don’t expect any detailed news coverage of the event: Reporters will not get last-minute invitations.
“I would reduce your level of concern and be assured that there will be absolutely no readout of the wedding, whatsoever,” spokesman Gordon Johndroe tells reporters flying with the president to Texas. “This really is a private event for the family. If we can–if the family decides–and I think they may–on Sunday to release a couple of photos of the ceremony, then we will certainly provide those to you. But otherwise, I think the activities of the weekend are going to be a really private celebration for Jenna [Bush] and Henry [Hager]’s family and friends.”
As it should be.

Don’t blame racism
Thank you. I’ve seen more than enough of private lives of citizens lately, what with Bawa Walters et al. Let them have their privacy.
At least they won’t have to hide everything under canopies lest the papparazzi rent helicoptors. An F-18 here, an Apache helo there, ought to keep the skies clear for the big day.
Yes. The children of celebrities deserve every bit of privacy they wish to have. Too bad so many people feel “entitled” to know every detail about them.
Why do you say “finally” tie the knot? Was the engagement too long for you?
K:
Anyone who has ever had to plan a wedding most likely had a “finally” moment. All the brides I’ve ever talked to, as well as myself, were so relieved to “finally” walk down the aisle and not have to do any more wedding planning.
Well, hopefully Henry Hager won’t be found on the morning after the nuptials standing under a big banner bearing the unfortunate logo ‘Mission Accomplished’.
The bride might disagree and whack him in the back of the head with a frying pan while he is not looking.

LOL!
The comment by Crawford resident Bill Johnson annoyed me. He said that “they are really considered royalty by a lot of folks.”
Excuse me! The whole point of our Constitutional system is that the president is not royalty. Ugh! What do they teach in our schools?
Kyle,
As little as possible about how to become an informed, and therefore, participating citizen—read “dangerous” in the eyes of the education establishment—seems apparent.
I don’t fault Johnson. Even in our large metropolitan area there are those who giggle/blush at the thought of some internationally known poobah coming to/hanging in the area let alone hosting such a personal and special event. I think the Bush family would be a big deal for a majority of small towns across the country.
Once again I will set the record straight. The ‘mission accomplished’ banner on the aircraft carrier in question as it relates to President Bush, is nothing more than Navy tradition and not unusual in the least.
I came home from Nam after my second tour on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. We arrived home 9 months after the Vietnam War supposedly ended and more than 3 months after we flew our last missions over North Vietnam. A similar banner was displayed on the Kitty Hawk when we arrived at port in San Diego - even though we had just lost the war on the streets of America to the socialist left who won the war for their comrades, the North Vietnamese who could never win it on the battlefield.
Insane whack jobs, as part of the socialist left today and similar to the same people during Vietnam, do not know military ways or tradition, but oppose the war, the military and President Bush, make themselves out to be the fools they are when they say this mission accomplished banner was somehow wrong or improper to display, especially to those who actually know why this banner, or a similar one, was flown on all the aircraft carriers arriving back home from this war to this day. Yep, every one of them.
If they want to discuss their disgust for the ex military pilot and commander in chief flying onto the carrier in a jet rather than an helicopter as a photo op or stunt or take umbrage with the President’s speech he made to the returning US Navy and Marine servicemen that day, I do not have a problem with that.
Llama: Nah, I never had a problem with it (the Mission Accomplished thing). It was an unfortunate logo, though, insomuch as the media made hay out of it later. But you are right - it would have been ridiculous to have the banner read ‘First Part of Mission Accomplished’.
I don’t have a problem with photo ops by the POTUS, either.
I would have been REALLY impressed, though, if Bush had flown into the carrier in Air Force One (the big one), rather than a Tomcat or whatever it was he came in on.
That would have been something REALLY worth talking about.
