First daughter Jenna Bush married Henry Hager at President Bush’s sprawling ranch in Crawford, Texas, on Saturday night. Maid of honor was Jenna’s twin sister Barbara. Best man was Henry’s brother Jack Hager.
The music was provided by wild man band leader Tyrone Smith.
The president and the bride picked “You Are So Beautiful” for their father-daughter dance, according to band leader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tennessee. Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes” by Taj Mahal for the newlyweds’ first dance. Smith, who promised the couple a “get down” party, talked to The Associated Press earlier in the week on condition that the information not be released before the wedding.
I have never laughed so hard reading a story. Tyrone, better known as ‘Super T’, with his superman-like cape use to play at the SAE fraternity house back in the late 90’s. We use to have him and his crew as often as we could until we went broke, were placed on probation for hazing, and then went even more in the red building a new fraternity house on Greek Row.
Smith, who witnessed the wedding ceremony, said afterward the groom was dressed in a dark blue suit with powder-blue tie and the bride wore a “very simple and elegant” white dress, but did not wear a veil.
There is no way I would have ever believed a decade ago that ‘Super T’ would be explaining to the press what the President’s daughter and her groom wore at their wedding. Congrats to Tryone…I have a feeling that the Bush’s paid him and his band a lot better than Sigma Alpha Epsilon did back in 1997.
In researching this post I discovered that Tyrone has recently played at the White House as well.
