George W. Bush's Daughter Barbara Ties the Knot in Secret, Sentimental Wedding Ceremony

Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, tied the knot with her fiancé, screenwriter Craig Coyne, on Sunday in an intimate secret wedding.

Only 20 family members witnessed the simple yet romantic ceremony, which was held at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, in the backyard overlooking the ocean.

“A very short, sweet ceremony” is how Barbara, 36, described it to PEOPLE...

Oh my, yes, I agree. It emphasizes the thin, bony nature of her chest and, was not flattering in my opinion. You can literally see her ribs. The other dresses she wore during the weekend were not any better, imo.

Weirdest dress.

The pic of her father in a the plaid jacket is strange as well.

From most of the photos, it looks like they all have very unfortunate taste in clothing.

Lol.

I wear the same stuff I have had forever. Fashion are not me although I would like to be if I wasn’t so cheap.

I don’t understand why when one can have the cutest, most flattering of clothes, they come up with those weird concoctions.

I know from buying what to me is expensive— a$200 jacket , expensive clothing can flatter one compared to a cheap jacket, The extra fitting, stitching, quality favric makes a difference,

I would think a $1000 jacket would even be better. But I wouldn’t know

. Those unflattering clothes are not understandable to me.

Speaking of upper-upper marriages, these ladies remind me of England's Princesses Eugenie and Bea in the quality of their looks and usefulness to society.

My first thought when I saw her sister's bridesmaid's dress was Little House on the Prairie.

Yup.

The two little flower girls have cute outfits. I like the little fuzzy white jacket.

You should read their new book "Sisters First". I think you might look at them both differently.

Glad she found true love but the dresses are hideous (The Bride and her sister).

I'm younger than the Bush twins but I think Laura Bush's green dress was my favorite outfit of the weekend!

I have a drag queen cousin who is just wild for dishing fashion at events like this. Maybe I should also say dissing, because he has such ample material! The Bushes, the Royals, Melania Trump, who he insists is a crossdresser, lol. I need to fly to see him to cheer me up in these dark times!
