Jenna Bush, First Daughter, author, teacher, and bride-to-be, is sitting
at a table at Da Silvano in downtown Manhattan, happily tucking into a
plate of vegetable lasagna and telling me all about her upcoming May 10
nuptials to Henry Hager, a former White House and Department of Commerce
aide whom she met in 2004. She tells me that he asked her to marry him
last August on top of Maine's Cadillac Mountain, the first place the sun
hits the United States, and how she was grumpy and mystified as to why
in the world he had roused her from the tent at four o'clock in the
morning to start hiking in the dark, but that then, naturally, she was
thrilled. She shows me her ring, a round diamond that belonged to the
groom's maternal great-grandmother, reset (with advice from her twin and
"best friend," Barbara) and flanked by two round sapphires.

in the May 2008 issue of
Vogue.
