The First Lady says they're excited (but not nervous) about Jenna's May 10 nuptials

President Bush has prepared one special wedding gift for daughter Jenna, Laura Bush revealed during a news conference on Monday.

“[It] was his idea to build this beautiful limestone altar,” the First Lady told reporters of the now-permanent fixture at the family’s Crawford, Texas ranch – where their daughter will wed on May 10. “It’s the same thing that our house is made of from a local quarry. And they’re the ones that made it.”
