The Jenna Bush – Henry Hager wedding has paralyzed tiny Crawford Texas and stunned nearby Waco, which already has a full calendar of events this weekend. While everyone is moved that President Bush built a limestone altar for the nuptials (it will barbeque three whole briskets too), some Texans who are not selling souvenirs are annoyed with the additional traffic, fuss and bother.
This is a royal wedding, American-style. It is not every day that the daughter of a sitting president weds a former aide of Grand Vizier Karl Rove. Henry Hager is also son of a former Virginia Lieutenant Governor who heads the Republican Party in Virginia, and is rich.
Jenna & Henry Wedding Mugs
Waco, down the road, is crammed with snotty big town journalists, monopolizing carhop service at Whataburger, grabbing all the Yellow Cabs, snapping their fingers at waitresses and clerks, and demanding alcohol on the Sabbath. This is a big, big weekend in Waco, with the Texas Technology Student Association Conference and its big Trebuchet Contest, the handbell concert, NCAA Men’s and Women’s Tennis Tournaments at Baylor University, the Rocking Heart Ranch fundraiser for the American Heart Association, the meeting of The Royal Sovereign and Imperial Court of the Central Texas Empire, dinner theater, and Mothers Day festivities at scores of churches and fraternal organizations.
