The President takes on a new role, "Father of the Bride"

WHITE HOUSE (AP) - President Bush heads to Texas this morning to get ready for the weekend wedding of his daughter, Jenna.
Bush has been joking for weeks about the daunting role of "Father of the Bride" and today he gets to start playing the part.
The outdoor wedding will take place in the cool of the evening Saturday at the Bushes' ranch outside Crawford. The ceremony and reception are closed to news cameras, although the White House indicates it will release an official photo or two of Jenna and new hubby, Henry Hager.
The Oscar de la Renta bridal gown, flowers and other items are being flown in for the kind of event not often seen around Crawford, Texas. Most townspeople are not on the guest list, but they're celebrating anyway. One resident compares it to the long-ago royal wedding of Charles and Diana in Britain. He says in Crawford, the Bushes are considered royalty.
