The Bush family gathered in Boca Grande, Florida this weekend for the wedding of one of their own - Marshall Bush, daughter of George H. W. Bush’s youngest son Marvin.

Not only was the 41st president there to support his granddaughter on her big day, but her uncle George was too.

First cousins Barbara and Jenna also made the fete, which featured a tented reception, lots of monograms and even fireworks.

The blushing bride Marshall, escorted by her father, wore her hair in a side braid and had a stunning dress with sheer neck and cap sleeves

The couple shared their first dance with their monogram lit up on the dance floor

The groom looked overjoyed as he and his new wife danced to the live band

Dad Marvin clutched his only daughter close as they shared a dance at the Florida reception

The blue and white color scheme was evident throughout the reception

The wedding featured plenty of monograms - even matchbooks and cigars came with M N for Marshall and Nick

The father of the bride, Marvin, appeared in great spirits as the reception wore on. His tie came off and his collar undone

One cousin who missed out on the festivities was Lauren Bush Lauren, who welcomed her first child, baby James, in New York City just hours before the couple exchanged vows.

Marshall married Nick Rossi, a former Naval officer who is now in his second year getting an MBA at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where the couple are currently living.

Marvin Bush also went to UVA.

The couple ended up exchanging their vows under a large white tent due to some unfortunate rain showers - but it didn't take away from the party mood.

George H. W. Bush, 91, looked thrilled to be there in a photo shared by Jenna, getting a kiss from her and twin Barbara Bush.

The 41st president was still wearing a padded neck brace, however.

He broke a bone in his neck in June while at his house in Maine.

His son George W. Bush, also appeared in a jovial mood, posing with guests at the morning after breakfast on Sunday where a Texas pride shirt.

Two members of the family missing from the Florida festivities were Lauren Bush Lauren, left, and her brand new baby boy James, born Saturday morning in New York City

The bride spent school breaks working on his re-election campaign in 2004 and counts his twin daughters as close friends.

The Gasparilla Inn, in Boca Grande Florida, the site of the nuptials, is a 100-year-old golf resort on the Gulf of Mexico with tennis, boating, croquet, a beach club and two swimming pools.

Marvin and his wife Margaret are parents to daughter Marshall and son Charles and live in Houston Texas after previously living outside DC.

The 29-year old horse loving bride has previously run a barn in Northern Virginia. She graduated from Elon University in North Carolina.

Throwback! Marshall was just a toddler with a red bow in hair - back row in Marvin's arms - when her grandfather became president. The family is seen here in January 1989

Marshall and Charles were both adopted, a fact which Marshall spoke about in a 2012 interview.

She says that she has never been made to feel different than any of her cousins, many of whom she is very close to.

Her grandfather would write her when she was at summer camp, she and Walker were frequent guests at the White House when she was young and she spent a lot time at the family compound in Maine.

One thing she joked she did not get, thanks to the lack of blood, was the Bush easy-crier gene.
