The pair initially met when Henry was working for her father, George W. Bush. After three months of dating, the former first daughter asked Henry to marry her, but he turned her down, which led to a "humiliating" Valentine's Day incident that Jenna previously recounted on Today with Hoda & Jenna.
She explained at the time that she had mistakenly believed he was proposing, a moment which later ended up being printed in The Washington Post.
Eventually, Henry did propose — after getting the blessing from her politician father to do so — and the couple got engaged in 2007. One year later, they said "I do" in May 2008 in front of 200 guests at her family's lakeside ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Jordan Chiles 'finally' feels good about her skin
Jordan Chiles has taken 22 years to "embrace" her complexion. The 24-year-old gymnast has suffered from acne in the past but she feels a lot more positive about her skin these days. She told Refinery29: 'I have [acne] scars here and there, but now I'm finally at a point where I'm positive with myself and my skin. 'Literally, it took me 22 years to finally be like, look, Jordan, you're a gorgeous girl. You have beautiful skin. Embrace that.' The Olympian tries to keep her routine simple when it comes to looking after her sensitive skin. She said: 'A majority of the time, I only use a good cleanser, an exfoliator, and then a nice, silky moisturiser. 'I keep it very simple, but make sure everything is hydrated and my skin looks good and glowy.' Jordan is the new face of Hero Cosmetics and she's a huge fan of their Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers. She said: 'People always ask me, 'What do you do for your skincare?' So I was really happy Hero wanted me to be one of their ambassadors. Whether it's dark spots or a pimple that's coming up and I want it gone, I've always loved Mighty Patch... "I have Mighty Patches in every bag, my car, my room, and probably in five different bathrooms." Asked her favourites, she replied: 'Literally all of them, but since I go to practice a lot, [I love] the invisible ones and the dark spot ones with the prickly points.' And Jordan also loves Hero's Pore Purity Cleansing Clay Mask, which features sea clay and sea kelp bio-ferment to decongest skin. She said: 'It makes my face so soft — I love it. I've been recently using it two to three times a week to get my pores in the right way and all that stuff.' When she is competing, Jordan hasn't been afraid to be "glam" with nail art and fluttery lashes firm features of her look. She said: 'My older sister, who is my hair and makeup artist, definitely gave me a perspective of understanding that glam is something to enjoy, have fun with, and be creative."

Mother Mother refuse to 'pander to the TikTok era' after going viral
Mother Mother will never "pander to the TikTok era" with their songwriting. The Canadian rockers - who have exceeded nine billion streams globally - found themselves going viral on the video-sharing platform in 2020, after their 2008 song Hayloft was used in edits, cosplay, and creative transitions. As a result, the group dropped Hayloft II, which also became a hit. Frontman Ryan Guldemond subsequently noticed on Reddit that some people were critcising them for going after commercial success with their music - but he insists that couldn't be farther from the truth. He told "I was reading people saying, 'Oh, they pander to the TikTok era with their new writing.' ADVERTISEMENT And it's like, Huh? I don't think that's true. If anything, it's the opposite, like, yeah, you know, the TikTok thing came along and made a bunch of songs that were really unviable, commercially famous, and that was to us that sent a message like, Oh, just be yourself. Like, just write from the heart and follow your whims. And that's the best thing you can do, is to be just totally authentic. And if that means you're writing kind of weird, unconventional songs, then so be it." The 'Finger' singer insists the whole TikTok viral experience taught them to "reject writing strategically for anything". He continued: "And so I've sort of taken that message and really ran with it, because I agree. I think the best thing anybody can do, whether you're writing a song or just, I don't know, whatever in life, just to be who you are. So I'm grateful for the TikTok thing, for sending that message, and if anything, yeah, like I said, it has made us reject writing strategically for anything." Mother Mother returned on June 6 with their new album 'Nostalgia', comprised of songs old and new to mark their 20th anniversary. Stream 'Nostalgia' now on all major streaming platforms.
