Dear Mr. President
Dr. Mr. President:
I don’t have much opinion on the job you are doing politically. I don’t think anyone could do your job without substantial criticism, so I don’t make judgements. I do have opinions on weddings though and I have heard that your beautiful daughter Jenna is about to be featured in one. I thought I would make some suggestions for that wondrous occasion.
I think a White House wedding would be cool, but sounds so over rated and maybe intimidating to the guests of the groom. I on the other hand think that a wedding at Ranger Stadium in Texas would be so so cool.
I envision the actual marriage occurring on the pitching mound with the guests in white chairs spread through the outfield. The wedding party circling around the mound. Oh, it would be so fun to and so memorable to be a guest at a wedding such as this. There should be lilacs or cherry blossoms with there fragrant aroma’s everywhere like when your a kid playing in the park.
The wedding should occur with the bride and groom facing the audience instead of seeing the preacher, he should be standing back towards the crowd like a conductor. He should have an acute understanding of what his profile looks like in portions of the wedding service.
The take me out to the ball field music should play ever so softly in the background to remind the guest where they are and fill in those awkward moments that always happen during weddings.
The reception should be held in the more intimate VIP boxes with that spectacular view of the field with the remnants of the wedding just past. The food should be simple, hot dogs, popcorn, funnel cakes…all those fattening foods that should never be served except on special occasions.
Well, that is my vision of the perfect wedding.
The most important thing of course is love and acceptance. The marriage can never last without your support. Family is the most important thing in the whole world and we can never expect our kids to grow up and do like we did.
I imagine the pressures on Jenna and Henry are even greater than the average person because of your position in politics. You should remind them of and celebrate all the achievements of their lives no matter how small and never compare their accomplishments with your own in a negative light.
That is all of my thoughts and advise, taken or left. I still wish you and your daughters the best of luck with your lives and marriages.
Sincerely;
Jennifer

How nice to take a look at the personal life of the president instead of the political one. It’s easy to forget that he is also a father and a husband, and not just a leader. A very unique post!

Interesting idea for a wedding! I like the food recommendations. I think you’re right that they must be under so much pressure.
