The first family began celebrating on Friday night.

The hour of JENNA BUSH's nuptials grows near, but the first daughter didn't wait until the weekend to start celebrating!

The Bush family festivities began on Friday with a bridal lunch, rehearsal dinner and a "Texas-sized" party in the small tourist village of Salado, where Jenna, Barbara and their mother, first lady LAURA BUSH, spent the day, the Associated Press reports. And the party really picked up when President GEORGE W. BUSH arrived on the scene by motorcade later that night!
