(May 10, 2008)--First daughter Jenna Bush, 26, and soon-to-graduate business student Henry Hager, 30, recited wedding vows on a hot and humid Saturday evening during an outdoor ceremony at the president’s ranch outside of Crawford.

The two recited their vows next to a limestone altar bearing a cross, which was Mr. Bush’s contribution to the ceremony.

Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston officiated.

The bride’s twin, Barbara, was maid of honor and the groom’s brother John served as best man.

The reception after the wedding ceremony was in the shelter of a tent, but the weather cooperated and the possible showers that were predicted didn’t materialize.

The president and the bride picked "You Are So Beautiful" for their father-daughter dance, according to bandleader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tenn.

Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do "Lovin' in My Baby's Eyes" by Taj Mahal for the newlyweds' first dance.

Smith, who promised the couple a "get down" party, talked to The Associated Press earlier in the week on condition that the information would not be released before the wedding.

Earlier Saturday, members of the Bush family and the wedding party attended a barbecue in Salado, which is where a rehearsal dinner was held the night before.

Away from the glare of television cameras that have beamed other first family weddings into American living rooms, Jenna's outdoor wedding at the ranch reflected her family's penchant for privacy and her preference for the casual over grandiose.

The White House said it expects to release a photo Sunday.
