PROOF THAT JENNA HAS BEEN PART
OF THE "TODAY" FAMILY FOR TEN
YEARS, AND EVEN THOUGH SHE’S
BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR A LOT
OF HER LIFE THERE’S STILL A LOT
OF THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT
HER SO WE TURNED TO THE PEOPLE
WHO KNEW HER THE BEST.

THE LUCKIEST THING BECAUSE OUR
DAY-TO-DAY WAS VERY NORMAL, BUT
WE WERE OBVIOUSLY BORN INTO
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WERE PRETTY
UNUSUAL.

MAJOR HAPPENING IN THE WHITE
HOUSE BOWLING ALLEY.

SANDWICHES.
SANDWICHES. >> THEIR GRANDMOTHER WAS NOT AT
ALL HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

FOOTSTEPS DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND
INSTEAD OF OUR SANDWICHES, OUR
GRANDMOTHER WALKS IN, AND SHE
MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THIS WAS
NOT ALLOWED AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

MYSELF THIS, JOB MAY BE A LOT
HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS
GOING TO BE IF I HAVE TO HANDLE
THE PRESS FOR THE BUSH TWINS.

LIKE POSTURE AND HOW WE SHOULD
PROJECT OUR VOICES JUST TO LET
US BE OURSELVES.

FRIEND, HEY, WHO IS THAT GUY,
BUT JENNA AND I OFFICIALLY MET,
PARENTS WERE OUT OF TOWN, AND
THEY SAID, HEY, TEXAS IS PLAYING
FOOTBALL, YOU WANT TO COME OVER
AND WATCH THE GAME, SO THE FIRST
TIME IT WAS BASICALLY WATCHING A
COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME ON A
SATURDAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> WE HAD BEEN DATING TWO
MONTHS.
MONTHS. I DROPPED THE I LOVE YOU ON HER,
AND SHE IMMEDIATELY SNAPPED BACK
LET’S GET MARRIED WHICH TOTALLY
CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD, BUT THIS IS
THE JENNA THAT I KNOW VERY WELL.

UNITED STATES FOR HIS PERMISSION
TO MARRY HIS DAUGHTER WAS PRETTY
NERVE RACKING, YEAH.

I’M SO EXCITED FOR HER ON THIS
NEW ADVENTURE.

WILL GET TO WORK TOGETHER
