“A very short, sweet ceremony” was how Barbara described it to PEOPLE. George W. was the one to happily walk her down the aisle for the big day. Her twin sister Jenna Bush Hager was also in attendance, as well as her mother Laura and grandfather George H.W. Bush. Her aunt, Dorothy “Doro” Bush Koch, officiated.

Barbara accessorized her custom-made Vera Wang gown with something special to remember her late mother (who shares the same name). “It’s really sweet. The ‘something borrowed’ that I’m wearing is this bracelet that my grandfather gave to my grandmother on their 70th anniversary,” she told PEOPLE.
