"It was supposed to say something like, 'Go and when you come back, I'll be here.' But all it said was, 'Don't go.' With champagne, And Henry is not a champagne fella, so I was like, YES! I WILL MARRY YOU!! And his face dropped. He could have cried." Jenna Bush-Hager explained that her humiliation was heightened by a newspaper post Instagram The media personality further stated things got a little more complicated when another couple who were also in the restaurant at the same time contacted The Washington Post about the story which led to them covering the story. "And so in The Washington Post, there was an article that was like, 'On a date night Jenna thought she was getting engaged but turns out no she wasn't.' Restaurant eaters heard her say, 'I nearly (beeped) my pants' — it said the word 'soiled.'" Jenna further disclosed that her husband framed the newspaper to serve as a reminder for her. "So, Henry found that article from The Washington Post, called The Washington Post, got the article, and framed it for Valentine's Day so that we could always remember the humiliation that comes with love." Jenna Bush-Hager said that her family was afraid that Henry might never propose Instagram The former first daughter revealed that some of her family members were worried that Henry might never propose to her. "Barbara kept telling my mom — 'cause I would call and be kind of grumpy," Jenna told Kotb. She'd be like, "I don't think he's going to do it. Nope, he's going to back out. There's no way it's happening."' However, Henry proposed in August 2007 after Jenna returned from the internship for UNICEF's Educational Policy Department. Their wedding was held on May 10, 2008, at her parents' 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel Ranch near Crawford, Texas. The couple now has three children together, Margaret "Mila" Laura, Poppy Louise, and Henry "Hal" Harold.
