A Surprise Pregnancy That Stole the Spotlight

Here’s something interesting. Barbara’s pregnancy was kept under wraps until the birth of Cora. This news comes almost two years after Barbara and Craig exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony. The Bush family statement added a sweet detail about how Cora was born "not far from [their] family home where Barbara and Craig were married." It’s like life has come full circle for this loving couple.

A Sweet and Simple Wedding Ceremony

Let’s rewind a bit to Barbara and Craig’s wedding. In October 2018, they tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony in the backyard of the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine. Only 20 of their closest loved ones were present to witness this special moment. Barbara, walking down the aisle with her father, made the day even more special by including her nieces, Mila and Poppy, as flower girls. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Barbara spoke fondly of the ceremony, mentioning the sentimental touches that made it so meaningful. “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 shared with People. Her “something blue” was a pair of earrings gifted by her twin sister, Jenna. “We’ve been excited to do such a small wedding with just our family,” she added, highlighting the simplicity and charm of the occasion.

As we look forward, there’s no doubt that Barbara and Craig are ready to take on the beautiful challenges and joys of parenthood. Their journey as a family has just begun, and it’s exciting to see what the future holds for them and little Cora.
