It turns out May 10 isn't a nice day for a White House wedding: Jenna Bush and fiancé Henry Hager will marry that day in Crawford, Texas, at the family's 1,600-acre ranch, quashing speculation the ceremony would be an in-the-spotlight DC affair. "It's going to be a small wedding," a source told People, who added that bridesmaids have already been selected.

Following the couple's August engagement, Laura Bush expressed excitement over the idea of a White House event, but noted, "of course we want to do what Jenna wants to do." Hubby-to-be Hager took the traditional route, asking the president and first lady for their daughter's hand in marriage more than a month before he popped the question. (More Jenna Bush stories.)
