Jenna Bush to wed today

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) — So close and yet so far: Tiny Crawford is sort of like a bridesmaid at arm’s length from Jenna Bush’s wedding today. All of the action is at President Bush’s 1,600-acre ranch seven miles outside this one-stoplight town. Friday night’s rehearsal dinner was even farther away — 54 miles from the ranch in a town called Salado.

, meaning the more than 200 Bush family and friends invited to the nuptials might never even set foot downtown Crawford.

The parents of the groom, Henry Hager, hosted the rehearsal dinner for members of the family and the wedding party at the Old Salado Springs Celebration Center in the heart of the town filled with coffee shops, western-style stores, antiques, eateries and clothing shops.
