Barbara Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, had a second wedding over the weekend.
The 37-year-old and her husband, Craig Coyne, also 37, got married again in Crawford, Texas, where her parents own a ranch, according to reports.
"They wanted to get married here because my grandfather is here," Jenna Bush Hager said at the time, referring to the late former President George H.W. Bush. She added, "It was a very secret wedding, a little bit like my elusive sister. But also, just family in a place that means family love, and it was beautiful."
The couple met after being set up by friends and since then have "been very discreet during their brief romance, having never even been photographed together at events," according to the report. Coyne, screenwriter, and actor, appeared in "Jarhead" in 2005 and in other films.
Barbara Bush previously revealed to People magazine that her grandmother's death really shocked her, according to Today. At the time she was still dating Coyne and hadn't introduced him to either of her grandparents. That's when she decided to get married in a secret ceremony so her grandfather could attend.
"We just thought, let’s try to do (the wedding) soon—a small wedding with just our family and my grandfather, here," she said.
According to Today, George H.W. Bush sat in the front row of the ceremony as "Barbara was walked down the aisle escorted by her father, former President George W. Bush." Her aunt, Dorothy Bush Koch, officiated the ceremony where the two first exchanged their vows.
Despite her grandmother not being there, Barbara Bush said she was still present in spirit.
She also told the magazine that the wedding was perfect.
"It was wonderful. It was everything we wanted," she told the magazine. "It was small and in a place that we have grown up and have so many incredible memories in Maine. We just wanted to make sure we could do it while my grandfather was still healthy. So we did it out on the rocks."
A source revealed that the second wedding allowed the couple to have all their friends and family present for the special occasion.
"This time it was definitely bigger, and they had all their friends there," a source told People magazine. "This party was a chance for them to celebrate with all their friends and family as well."
