Jenna Bush engaged
Jenna Bush and Henry Hager in 2005.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President and Laura Bush's daughter, Jenna, is engaged to be married, the White House announced Thursday.
Jenna Bush, 25, is marrying Henry Hager, 28, a former White House aide who used to work with Karl Rove, and is a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Business, according to the Associated Press. Henry Hager’s father, John, is the chairman of the Virginia Republican Party, and the former lieutenant governor of Virginia.
The two met during the 2004 presidential campaign, but were not first spotted together until the president's inauguration in 2005, according to Style Magazine.
The first lady's office tells CNN the proposal occurred last night. The two are currently vacationing together in Maine.
No word if Hager asked the president for permission before the proposal.
No wedding date has been set.
yuck..
Wasn't John Hager one of the Hager Twins on Hee Haw?
Perfect contrast with the (currently) following story about Biden's son being deployed to Iraq.
This is headline news?!?!? Are you freakin' kidding me?!?!?
Let's be real, CNN. Who freakin' cares????
Is this really important? So what, she's getting married. I think it would be more important "breaking news" if she put on a uniform and was going to Iraq like so many sons and daughters of America! I bet that would end this war.
GOd knows she will not be like her father the hyprocte in office. I hope nor the son is like his father.
So.
I am happy for them, I wish them the best!
Who cares! She is to immature to get married and won't make it to 30 before getting divorced. I am sure it is just a publicity stunt to help soften her father's bad image. This article should be posted in some supermarket tabloid.
Time to switch to BBC World News...
Since when does this news rank a "CNN Breaking News" email? Shame on you CNN, you know better than this.
Oh wait...Breaking News! My daughter had *cereal* for breakfast this morning. Just thought you'd like to know...
Not in the military? Tsk, Tsk!
PS: Leave this breaking news to the tabloids.
It has to be a slow news day...
Why not look in the paper where the other common folk have their engagements
Honestly? He looks like a tool, but thats neither here nor there.
CNN had no bussiness posting this, let alone in the political ticker. Seems like you guys just wanted to score some cheap political points from Anti-Bushies..
Tanner–who made you the authority on marrying age, and how long the marriage will last? My god man..
Pregnant????
Who cares!
So you don't like happy news–go away you naysayers–Congratulations to the young couple!
Who cares is right!! Breaking news..... hardly worthy... I will echo
soldiers dying
ice caps melting
miners stuck – the list could go on
This is breaking news? When i saw breaking news flashing in my inbox, i was curious but once i opened, i was dissappointed.
What this has to do with politics? It is a private business.
Concurring with the "who cares!!!"
Why is this on the political ticker?
Tired of the media thinking we care about celebrities private lives.
You lefty's are so filled with
so much hate it is frighting. For christ sake get a life! She is the Pres daughter, IT IS NEWS!! it was news for every Pres!!
I'm very happy for her, the President and the Bush family.
Was this the same boyfriend/fiance' who accompanied Jenna on election night on 11/2/04? She really is a sparkling young lady and it was great that she took time in her father's campaign. It seems that she's gotten good civic experience and probably her and Mr. Hager will both be very involved politically in years to come.
The next Matalin-Carville maybe?
Uh, huh....
I find it interesting that so many of you will take your valuable time to dismiss this as non-newsworthy. You must have pretty lame lives. It is as newsworthy as Joe Biden's son is going to Iraq. Mine is also, but I don't see it on the ticker.
