America's First Family celebrated more than Mother's Day this weekend.

President and Mrs. Bush's daughter Jenna got married to Henry Hager on May 10.

While the nuptials were off limits to the media, the details are in.

Against the backdrop of a stunning Texas sunset, near a lake on the Bush family's 1,600 acre Crawford ranch, President Bush walked his daughter Jenna down the aisle to her groom.

"Our little girl Jenna married a really good guy, Henry Hager,

"The wedding was spectacular, it was all we could have hoped for."

The wedding party, known in Texas as the house party, wore colors reflecting the native Texas wildflowers.

The 14 women wore chiffon dresses by Dallas designer Lela Rose, while the 14 men wore suits and light blue ties.

The bride, in a white silk Organza Oscar de la Renta gown, and groom stood before a cross and altar made of Texas limestone.

Bush family friend Reverend Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston officiated, as the couple exchanged vows in front of some 200 family members and friends bused in for the event.

Afterward, under a tent nestled just beyond a thick cluster of trees, dinner and dancing to the music of The Tyrone Smith Review.

Before departing Texas for Washington, the First Couple reflected on the moment.

"Just as the vows were exchanged, the sun set over our lake and it was just a special, wonderful (moment)," they said.

"We're mighty blessed."

The President will be leaving office in eight months, and has said privately he would like grandchildren sooner rather than later.

It's a point he's already made to Jenna, as he considers life beyond the White House.
