The blissful engagement

I figured I'd interupt my vacation a bit to actually find out what's going on in the world, and I find out Jenna Bush (clearly the more stylish twin) and Henry Hager got engaged!

Some info on the couple (according to AP):

• Henry Hager proposed marriage to Jenna on Wednesday in Maine. She said yes.

  
  

• Back in February 2005, Laura Bush was asked about the guy her daughter Jenna was seeing. "This is not a serious boyfriend - I hate to have to be the one to say it on television," said the first lady. "But he's a very nice young man."

  
  

• Following tradition, Henry first asked the president for permission to marry his daughter.

  
  

• Laura and George were engaged just six weeks before they tied the knot in 1977.

  
  

• Henry, a student at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, has a sterling Republican pedigree. His dad, John, is a former lieutenant governor of Virginia and now heads the state's Republican Party.

  
  
  

• They met while working on the president's 2004 reelection campaign and have been dating ever since. They have been spotted together everywhere in the past two years, most publicly at the White House dinner for Britain's Prince Charles and Camilla in November 2005. Soon after, Jenna was telling friends he was The One.

  
  

• The courtship was serious enough that in May 2006, Jenna apparently thought he was ready to tie the knot. The two were dining at Asia Nora when waiters brought champagne to the table - with a mysterious note taped to her glass. Jenna read it and burst out laughing. "I thought you were proposing!" she hollered loud enough for everyone to hear. "I nearly (soiled) my pants!"
