Is a White House wedding in the works? Jenna Bush, one of President Bush's twin daughters, is engaged to be married to her longtime boyfriend, Henry Hager, the White House announced Thursday.
Asked if the two were getting married in the Rose Garden, Sally McDonough, press secretary for first lady Laura Bush, replied: "They have not set any details, date or place."
Jenna Bush, 25, and Hager, 29, were engaged Wednesday in Maine, she said.
The two have been dating for several years, and Hager is often seen at Jenna Bush's side at Bush family functions and formal events, such as a White House dinner in November 2005 in honor of Britain's Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla.
Hager will be returning to school this fall to complete his master's degree in business administration at the University of Virginia.
Hager, who has been a White House aide and worked on Bush's re-election campaign, is the son of John and Maggie Hager of Richmond, Va. His father is chairman of the Republican Party in Virginia, former assistant secretary of the Education Department's office of special education and former lieutenant governor of Virginia.
After earning a degree in English in 2004 from the University of Texas, Jenna Bush spent a year and a half teaching at a public elementary school in the Washington area. After that, she worked for 10 months in Latin America as an intern for UNICEF.
She spent this summer traveling to Africa with her mother, first lady Laura Bush. She and her mother, also a schoolteacher, are collaborating on a children's picture storybook to be published in spring 2008. Proceeds are to be donated to two education programs: Teach for America and The New Teacher Project.
Jenna Bush also has her own book coming out Sept. 28. "Ana's Story," based on her time working for UNICEF, tells of a 17-year-old single mother who is HIV positive. Some of the book proceeds will go to UNICEF.

白宫将迎来一场婚礼？据白宫上周四宣布，布什总统的双胞胎女儿之一——詹娜•布什与相恋已久的男友亨利•哈格订婚。
在被问及詹娜是否将在白宫玫瑰园举行婚礼时，第一夫人劳拉•布什的新闻发言人萨莉•麦克唐纳回答说：“具体的细节、日期和地点都还没有定。”
据她透露，25岁的詹娜与29岁的哈格于上周三在缅因州订婚。
这对情侣已相恋多年，在布什家庭的重大聚会和一些正式场合，经常能看见哈格与詹娜出双入对。2005年布什在白宫宴请英国查尔斯王储和夫人卡米拉时，哈格就在场。
今年秋天，哈格将回到弗吉尼亚大学完成他的工商管理硕士学位。
哈格曾是白宫的一名助手，并曾为布什连任竞选效力。他是弗吉尼亚州里士满约翰•哈格和麦琪•哈格的儿子。他的父亲曾任教育部特殊教育办公室的副秘书和弗吉尼亚州副州长，现任弗吉尼亚州共和党主席。
2004年，詹娜•布什获得克萨斯大学英语语言学位后，在华盛顿地区的一所公立小学当了一年半的老师。之后，她在联合国儿童基金会实习，在拉丁美洲工作了10个月。
今年夏天，她和母亲劳拉•布什一起访问了非洲。她与同为教师的妈妈正在筹划一本儿童图画故事书，预计将于2008年春天出版。出书的全部收益将捐给“美国教育”和“新教师计划”两大教育项目。
詹娜自己的书《安娜的故事》将于今年9月28日出版，这本书主要根据她在联合国儿童基金会的实习经历撰写而成，讲述了一位患艾滋病的17岁单身妈妈的故事。詹娜这本书的部分收益将捐给联合国儿童基金会。
