In fact, she popped the question after being together for only three months… sort of.
And after having a couple of drinks, she blurted out a proposal.
Bush Hager told"The Today Show"viewers in 2020.
But Hager wasn’t looking to rush things.
“He told me he loved me.
And I’m like, ‘Me too!
Let’s get married!'”
The couple officially got engaged in 2007 and were married the following year.
But Bush Hager doesn’t regret her impromptu proposal.
She looks back fondly on how she took matters into her own hands.
“Well, here’s the thing: I’m the chooser.”
But when it came time to propose to the First Daughter, Henry Hager went the traditional route.
He asked Jenna’s father, President George W Bush, for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
And Bush Hager said the task was “not easy.”
Bush Hager told the story on “The Today Show” in 2023.
Hager was spending Fourth of July weekend with the First Family at Camp David in Maryland.
“So he had to sit and stew,” Bush Hager said of the nerve-wracking moment.
“And my dad goes, ‘Henry, I said yes.
You don’t need to go through anything else.
Laura, Henry’s proposing!’
and that was that.”
During the couple’s second date, Henry accidentally backed his car into a Secret Service vehicle.
There was no damage, but it was enough to make Hager really nervous and embarrassed.
