Cool move for the Bush family
Neat - from
Texas on the Potomac:
Jenna Bush says it's OK for Ellen DeGeneres to use the Crawford ranch for her wedding
Maybe Dick Cheney will be there.
Ellen DeGeneres, the TV talk-show host and soon-to-be-married lovebird, received the permission of Jenna Bush Hager to hold her wedding at her family's Prairie Chapel Ranch in greater Crawford.
The subject came up when Jenna (we're going to have to get used to calling her "Hager") and her mom, first lady Laura Bush, were appearing on the comedian's talk show taped for airing on Wednesday.
"So, the ranch was a great place to get married - it looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures or bother you, really," DeGeneres said, according to an authoritative report on people.com.
"Yeah," responded Hager, "that was really nice."
"So, can we borrow it for our wedding, can we get the ranch?" asked DeGeneres, referring to her upcoming nuptials with actress Portia de Rossi.
"Sure," said Hager.
"Okay, great," said DeGeneres.
We believe that Hager, the ever-generous first daughter, was just being polite to DeGeneres, but you never know. Her mom didn't say "no" on the spot.
And her Mom or Dad could have later, quietly, said no but they didn't.
That is class -- very cool...
