we's havin' kumpny for supper y'all

                                      the happy couple

America's first daughter is tying the knot this weekend to Henry Hager.

But the Bushes generally have avoided the Kennedy~esque glamour of the White House. Dubya took long vacations to clear brush and kill 'kritters' on his ranch, no matter how low his approval ratings fell, and was said by one commentator to enjoy state dinners "as much as a root canal".

So it comes as no surprise that the drunk~ass Jenna declined a White House wedding.

Her wedding is reported to be a 'casual affair', held at sunset on the family ranch in Crawford, Texas, but the accoutrements are hardly DIY. Jenna's gown is to be a beaded organza affair by Oscar de la Renta [is he still credible~was he ever?]  and her 14 bridal attendants will wear hand~made cocktail dresses by Lela Rose, who dresses the likes of Mischa Barton and Chloe Sevigny. And we can only hope they are of a print that disguises dripped BBQ sauce.

If The Cracker~Barrel hasn't got this gig already, I so want to cater this red~neck nuptial :

Canapés of course : pigs~in~a~blanket, pizza rolls, corn dogs, mini~chili 'dawgs', deviled eggs, pigs feet, chicken tenders, mac~n~cheese puff pastries, chitterlings [chittlins], shrimps, craw~fish, and grits.

A southern fish fry/pig pickling with fried tater~tots, mashed taters, fried green tomatoes, pinto~beans, collards, hush~puppies, crackling corn bread and slaw.

Peach cobbler, pecan pie and an array of krispy kreme!

Box~o~wine, Lone Star beer, Jello~shots, Bacardi Breezers, Zima and a sweet tea fountain.
