Barbara described her ceremony as:

“A very short, sweet ceremony.”

Barbara’s aunt, Dorothy “Doro” Bush Koch officiated the wedding. The bride and groom exchanged vows in front of their immediate family at their secret wedding.

In attendance were Barbara’s parents, her grandfather; former President George H.W. Bush, 94, and her twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager who served as matron of honor. Hager’s daughters, Margaret, 5, and Poppy, 3, were flower girls along with Coyne’s niece, Emma, 5.

Poppy also served as the ring bearer. Although Barbara’s grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush had passed away in April, she was there in spirit. The bride accessorized her custom Vera Wang gown with jewelry from her namesake.

She revealed:

“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.”

The “something blue” was a pair of earrings from Jenna. The newlywed’s had a five-week engagement in the same week when Coyne relocated from Los Angeles to be with Barbara in Manhattan.

They met after friends set them up on a blind date last November. They got into a committed relationship by New Year’s Eve despite Coyne living in Los Angeles and Barbara in New York.

The bride shared:

“We’ve been excited to do such a small wedding with just our family.”
