Barbara Bush got married in a hurry so that granddad George HW Bush could be there while 'he's still feeling good'
After getting engaged, Barbara decided that she would make haste with the wedding so that she wouldn't miss the opportunity of celebrating with her grandfather George H.W. Bush
Four months after her namesake grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush suddenly died following complications from a pulmonary disease at age 92, Barbara Bush decided that she would not make the same mistake with her 94-year-old grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, and so, planned to tie the knot while he was still feeling good, reports People magazine.
Speaking of her grandmother's sudden death, "We weren’t expecting that," Barbara said in an interview for the media outlet. At the time, she was dating her now-husband, Los-Angeles-based screenwriter Craig Coyne, whom she hadn't yet introduced to her grandparents. The couple married in a low-key wedding on Sunday.
