KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP, KTVU) - Former first daughter Barbara Bush has gotten married.
Her father, former President George W. Bush, escorted his daughter down the aisle while her grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, watched the ceremony at the family's Walker Point compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, on Sunday.
The 36-year-old married 37-year-old screenwriter Craig Coyne.
Her twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, told NBC's "Today" show on Monday Barbara wore something borrowed - a bracelet her grandfather had given to his wife on their 70th wedding anniversary. Her namesake and grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush, died at age 92 in April.
Former President George Bush took to social media and posted a photo of him walking his daughter down the aisle.
He expressed his love and pride for his daughter writing, "Barbara is named for a unique and strong woman — and rightly so, because she is unique and strong. @laurawbush and I are so proud of our compassionate, daring, fierce, kind, intelligent, loving daughter. And we’re thrilled to welcome Craig Coyne to our family."
The bride is the co-founder of public health nonprofit Global Health Corps.
The couple will live in New York.
