Ellen Degeneres taped a show on Thursday May 22, that will air next Wednesday, May 27, with the first daughter Jenna Hager and her mother, first lady Laura Bush. The ladies chatted about Jenna’s May 10th wedding to Henry Chase Hager.
The nuptials took place at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas and Jenna brought along photos of the reception. Ellen, who just announced that she will be marrying partner Portia de Rossi after California lifted the ban on same sex marriage, asked Jenna:
So, the ranch was a great place to get married – it looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures or bother you, really.”
Jenna came back with “Yeah” and Ellen continued, “So, can we borrow it for our wedding, can we get the ranch?” Of course Jenna said “sure.”
Actually it’s a moot point because Texas was the 19th state to approve a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in November 2005. It’s definitely fun to think about the absurdity of it – and leave it to Ellen to turn it into a joke.
