Further cementing the Bush family's emotional and historical ties to Maine, one of President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna Bush, got engaged here Wednesday to her longtime boyfriend, Henry Hager.
"They have not set any details, date or place," Sally McDonough, press secretary for first lady Laura Bush, said Thursday in announcing [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ wow gold] engagement.

[http://www.teamflyelectronic.com/ Burglar alarm] president and first lady were vacationing in Texas when they got the news.

Jenna Bush, 25, and Hager, 29, have been dating for several years, and Hager is often seen at Jenna Bush's side at Bush family functions and formal events, such as a White House dinner in November 2005 in honor of Britain's Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Many members of [http://www.teamflyelectronic.com/ Burglar alarm] Bush family were in Kennebunkport recently for the wedding of a family friend. McDonough said she did not know whether Jenna Bush caught [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ wow gold] bride's bouquet. She also could provide no additional details about where in Maine the engagement happened or how the question was posed.

Hager will be returning to school this fall to complete his master's degree in business administration at the University of Virginia. He has an undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University.

Hager, who has been a White House aide and worked on Bush's re-election campaign, is the son of John and Maggie Hager of Richmond, Va. His father is chairman of [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ wow gold] Republican Party in Virginia, former assistant secretary of [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] Education Department's office of special education, former lieutenant governor of Virginia and former director of Virginia's Office of Commonwealth Preparedness.

Jenna Bush returned in late June from a trip with the first lady to Africa. [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] two, who have both worked as schoolteachers, currently are collaborating on a children's picture story to be published in spring 2008. Proceeds are to be donated to two education programs: Teach for America and [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ wow gold] New Teacher Project.

Jenna Bush has her own book coming out in [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ wow gold] fall. "Ana's Story," based on her time working for UNICEF, tells of a 17-year- old single mother who is HIV positive.

The twins, each named for a grandmother, spent most of Bush's first term avoiding the media glare but didn't always succeed.

There was an embarrassing run-in with [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] law in Texas for underage drinking in May 2001, their father's first year in the White House. It was Jenna Bush's second offense for violating state alcoholic beverage laws, coming after a no contest plea two weeks earlier, and the first for Barbara, who holds a degree in humanities from Yale University.

And Jenna, full of spunk, was photographed sticking her tongue out at the media during a campaign stop in Missouri in 2004.

[http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] last time there was a White House wedding was in 1994. The Rose Garden was crammed with 250 chairs for the wedding of Nicole Boxer, daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Tony Rodham, the younger brother of then first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, now a senator from New York and Democratic presidential hopeful.

In 1971, President Nixon's daughter, Tricia, was married in style to Harvard law student Edward Cox. She walked down [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] staircase of the South Portico and danced at a reception in the ornate East Room.

Other presidential daughters to have all or part of their weddings at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue include: President Johnson's daughter, Luci Baines Johnson Nugent, who had her wedding reception at the White House in August 1966, Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, who married her husband in [http://www.teamflyelectronic.com/ Burglar alarm] East Room in December 1967; and Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was wed at [http://www.isefc.com.cn/ world of warcraft gold] White House in [http://www.teamflyelectronic.com/ Burglar alarm] early 1900s.
