Who wouldn’t want an invite to such a special day? Just one day after Barbara Pierce Bush quietly tied the knot with actor Craig Coyne in a secluded ceremony in Maine, her twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, opened up about the magical event on the Today show. If you were hoping for all the deets, Jenna didn’t disappoint.
Still emotional from the weekend festivities, Jenna, 36, couldn’t hold back her excitement during a live phone call with her Today co-hosts on Monday, October 8. “I’m crying even now, 24 hours later… there were so many happy tears,” Jenna shared, her voice filled with emotion. “It was absolutely beautiful, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.”

Why Maine? A Celebration of Family and Love
During the heartwarming phone call, Jenna revealed that Barbara, also 36, and Craig decided to keep things intimate, choosing to exchange vows in front of only their closest family members. The picturesque location of Maine held a special place in their hearts because it’s where Bush family patriarch, President George H.W. Bush, 94, spends much of his time. “It’s a place that means family and love,” Jenna explained. “And that’s exactly what this wedding was all about—simple, heartfelt, and surrounded by those who matter most.”
As the Maid of Honor, Jenna played a pivotal role in the celebration, and she shared how meaningful it was to honor their late grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush. In her reception speech, Jenna recited a heartfelt letter once written by her grandfather George to her grandmother Barbara. This touching tribute added another layer of emotion to an already unforgettable day. “It was such a beautiful way to include her spirit in the celebration,” Jenna said, her voice trembling with pride.

A Sister’s Pride and Joy
On Monday morning, Jenna took to Instagram to confirm the news of her sister’s marriage, sharing a sweet photo of Barbara with her two daughters, Mila Hager, 5, and Poppy Hager, 3. The caption perfectly captured the essence of the day: “My heart exploded last night as I watched my dearest sissy get married in Maine. It was just like her: private (only family!) and full of love (and yes lots of tears!).”
Clearly, Barbara and Craig’s decision to keep things intimate resonated deeply with Jenna. “Barbara has always been someone who values family above everything else, and this wedding was a true reflection of that,” she said. “It wasn’t about a big spectacle—it was about celebrating love in its purest form.”
Congratulations to Barbara and Craig on their special day! Their story is a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful moments are the ones shared quietly with the people we love most.
