This quote from People magazine “President Bush: An ‘Awfully Special’ Wedding Weekend” posted Sunday, May 11, 2008:
Back in Crawford and nearby Salado, where many of the guests had booked rooms at the quaint inns and B&Bs, it was time to pack up and clean up. One twentysomething man checking out of the Old Salado Celebration Center & Retreat, where Friday’s rehearsal dinner had been held, told PEOPLE: “The wedding was a great party. It was beautiful, incredible, outstanding.”
Well, that “twentysomething man” stopped by the Salado Wine Seller shop. I sold him a bottle “Texas Hills Kick Butt Cabernet“. I carded him, and I know who he is, but I’m protecting his privacy. Unlike some of the shops in town, for example Tyler Fletcher of Fletcher’s Books & Antiques who claims he sold a book to Karl Rove!
We’re making it big now! Here we are in the Washington Post!
Austin TV on KVUE…
Grainger, who owns the Silver Spur theater business, says he didn’t know until the Secret Service showed up: Grainger on KWTX. The Silver Spur Theater is a wonderful place to rent for private events or even better, attend one of their performances!
Another story on KWTX!
And INSIDE EDITION interviewed Will Lowery who runs Inn on the Creek where the bridal luncheon was.
This the rehearsal dinner was at Old Salado Celebrations Center. You can read about it in an article by People Magazine.
This blog entry from Dallas morning news gives the details of the food from the Range, cooked by Katie and Dave Hermann.
We are so excited in Salado! Everyone is abuzz with rumors of the First Family in Salado for Jenna Bush’s wedding. We were hoping Jenna might come by with her friends and sample some Texas wines with her girlfriends. Instead, we were visited by Anna who brought her out-of-town wedding guests and everyone sampled the wines of the day. Their favorite was the Austin St. Comanche Rose wine from Brennan Vineyards in Comanche, Texas. Anna will be married at the Inn at Salado at the same time as Jenna Bush’s wedding.
Oops! I left Sheldon at the wine shop for 30 minutes and missed the presidential motorcade pass by! I’ll have to settle for the footage shot by KWTX of the motorcade on Main Street.
