Comments President and Mrs. Bush have made in public or during recent interviews about his daughter Jenna's wedding Saturday to Henry Hager:

"Neither one of us are nervous. I'm very, very excited. It's a very interesting passage of life when you get to that time in your life when your child, first child is getting married _ and we're getting, for us, our first son. So it's a thrill and we're very happy about it." _ First lady Laura Bush, May 5.

"I thank you for rescheduling this ceremony so I could make it. I know you originally planned to hold the commencement next weekend _ it's the same weekend as my daughter's wedding. I could have suggested changing the date of the wedding instead. I think we all know how that would have turned out." _ President Bush at high school commencement in Greensburg, Kan., May 4.

"Senator McCain is not here. He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit. You know, he's not alone. Jenna is moving out, too." _ President Bush at White House Correspondents' Association dinner, April 26.

"A lot has changed since I first spoke to this group. I had to face some very difficult spending decisions and I've had to conduct sensitive diplomacy. That's called planning for a wedding." _ President Bush speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, March 12.

"I'm a little late because Laura had me watching `Father of the Bride.' ... I didn't finish it. I'm going to make my remarks short and go home and watch it. It's going to be a big year for us. So the guy comes to see me, and he says, I want to marry your daughter. I said, done deal." _ President Bush at Kuwait-America Foundation dinner, March 12.
