She marries fiancé Henry Hager at the president's Crawford ranch.

Hail to the Chief's daughter! JENNA BUSH, 26, has tied the knot with her fiance HENRY HAGER, 30. The couple wed Saturday just before sunset at the Bush family's Crawford, Texas, ranch in a private, outdoor ceremony.

"This is a joyous occasion for our family, as we celebrate the happy life ahead of her and her husband, Henry," President GEORGE W. BUSH said in his Saturday radio address. "It's also a special time for Laura who this Mother's Day weekend will watch a young woman we raised together walk down the aisle."

Flanked by 14 bridesmaids and her maid of honor, twin sister BARBARA, Jenna said "I do" in an OSCAR DE LA RENTA gown, and her ears sparkled with 18-carat white, gold and platinum earrings by ANTHONY NAK, complete with minted, iced quartz teardrops crusted in diamond detail.

According to the Associated Press, Barbara wore a long, moonstone blue dress with a low-cut back; Jenna's 14 bridesmaids flaunted seven different styles of knee-length dresses, each a different shade of Texas wildflowers.

AP reports that the president and Jenna chose "You are so Beautiful" for their father-daughter dance.

About 200 guests attended the intimate affair. Jenna said in the May issue of Vogue that she wished to wed at the president's 1,600-acre ranch for its familiar, down-home feel. "Henry and I are far less glamorous than the White House," she said. "I was raised in Texas, and it just felt right."

The merriment started 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 president arrived by motorcade that evening, the AP reports. Saturday the groom's family continued the celebrating with a traditional barbecue luncheon.

The groom, Henry -- once an aide to Bush's former top political advisor, KARL ROVE -- met Jenna during the president's 2004 reelection campaign. By tying the knot with him, Jenna becomes only the 22nd child to marry during a father's presidency.

As for the honeymoon, AP says the latest word is the two may embark upon a European adventure!
