Jenna Bush gets married

jenna-bush-wedding1_nc.jpg

I love, love Jenna Bush’s wedding gown. So simple, so classy, so elegant. It was designed and made by Oscar dela Renta (and why not, I suppose they can afford it!). I didn’t realise that Henry Hager was a former White House aide? Isn’t that so romantic? Like Cinderella and Prince Charming or something but their roles are reversed with Jenna being Princess Charming and Henry being, umm, Cinders? :-)

It was arguably America’s wedding of the year, uniting a presidential daughter with a former White House aide - but its details were kept almost entirely private.

Jenna Bush married Henry Hager in a down-home Texas wedding yesterday at the family ranch in Crawford, Texas, before some 200 friends and relatives and in front of a simple limestone cross erected near a lake.

“Our little girl Jenna married a really good guy, Henry Hager. The wedding was spectacular, all we could have hoped for,” President Bush told reporters afterwards.

Wedding Gift Idea: DIY Wedding Cake

If you’re a keen baker and would prefer to do something really personal for your friends’ wedding, why not gift them with a wedding cake you baked yourself? :-)

Warning: If you are not a confident baker, I suggest you ask for professional assistance. You don’t really want to have a wedding cake disaster on your hands. It’s not fair on the couple!

Meals Pro shows you how! Happy watching!

It seems that Hollywood is raining with babies and weddings! Another celebrity bites the dust, err gets married! :-)

Now, it’s Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds’ turn!

Reps from both Johansson and Reynolds have stated to E! and People that the couple is now engaged. E! Online has confirmed that the couple’s been engaged for a while without much media knowledge—a source close to Johansson said they “want to keep things private.” No further details about the wedding have been provided.

EFluxMedia has reported that Johansson was seen earlier this year in a wedding dress store, but she denied the engagement rumors. Now that the public knows, Johansson is predicted to show her ring at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in New York, where she will attend with her new fiancé.

1920s wedding theme ideas: The Painted Veil Movie

Painted Veil DVD
Painted Veil DVD

Last night I watched the movie, Painted Veil and realised that couples planning a wedding with a 1920s wedding theme can get a lot of ideas from this movie. The dresses and gowns that Naomi Watts wore (especially the hats) in this movie were gorgeous especially the one where Edward Norton saw her for the first time as she was going down the stairs.

Lovely. It’s a must see for those with 1920’s wedding themes. Let me know how you get on, ok?
