CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - The town of Crawford is sort of like a bridesmaid at arm's length from Jenna Bush's wedding tomorrow.
All of the action is at President Bush's 1,600-acre ranch seven miles outside the one-stoplight town.
The White House says it's a private ceremony between Jenna Bush and Henry Hager.
Downtown Crawford late this began began to show signs of the event.
A white banner with red wedding bells on either side of "Congratulations Jenna and Henry" now stretches across a storefront.
A few doors down, a white wedding veil adorns an 18-foot metal sculpture of an angel, a gift to Crawford in 2004.
The rusty artwork, a side-view silhouette of an angel, is titled "Freedom's Angel of Steadfast Love."
Some businesses, like The Yellow Rose, are doing a brisk business selling coffee mugs with the couple's photo inside a red heart.

I just love those small towns. People there still have values and morals and know how to enjoy life without whining all of the time.
