They Jumped Into the Ocean! All the Not-Yet-Seen Special Photos in Barbara Bush's Wedding Album

Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, tied the knot with her fiancé, screenwriter Craig Coyne, on Oct. 7 in an intimate secret wedding.

The new bride gave PEOPLE the exclusive on some of the best photos from their special weekend. Here, the former first daughter, attended by her Matron of Honor (and twin sister) Jenna Bush Hager wears a gown by Vera Wang -- the first of three dresses.

Barbara met screenwriter Craig Coyne on a blind date last November. During a visit to Maine, they were walking along the oceanside rocks when he suddenly dropped to his knee in the same spot where Barbara’s grandparents got engaged almost exactly 75 years earlier, in August 1943.

"I didn't know Craig had found out the history. Of course, I cried -- and our cousins were spying from the windows taking pictures," she explained.

After Barbara’s father walked her down the aisle, the bride and groom exchanged vows in front of their immediate family, including former President Bush, 72, Mrs. Bush, 71, and Barbara’s grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, 94. Barbara’s twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, served as matron of honor, and her daughters, Margaret, 5, and Poppy, 3, were flower girls along with Coyne’s niece, Emma, 5. Poppy did double duty at the ceremony, also serving as the ring bearer.

The bride’s aunt, Dorothy “Doro” Bush Koch, officiated.

All 20 guests fit around a single table for a dinner of Maine lobster and corn on the cob.

Before dressing for their "I dos," the couple leapt into the Atlantic. "It was cold, but they wanted to do it," said a source.

The bridegroom touched his new wife's shoulder during the post-wedding dinner.

An attendee told PEOPLE that the Bush clan cut the cake before dinner was served — so the flower girls (Jenna Bush Hager’s daughters, Margaret, 5, and Poppy, 3, and Criag’s niece, Emma, 5) could eat cake before bedtime!

Craig penned last-minute notes for his dinner toast, in which he teased his new father-in-law—and the former president's legendary mangling of some words— by using the word mis-underestimated, according to his new sister-in-law Jenna Bush Hager.

Barbara may have only had five weeks to plan her wedding, but she made sure there was an abundance of fresh flowers.

"It’s just been a very sweet romance," Barbara said of their relationship.

Craig wore socks featuring Barbara's cat Eleanor.

Now that they're married, the couple will stop living across the country from each other. Craig has relocated from Los Angeles to live with Barbara in Manhattan.

Guests tossed lavendar rose petals.

Barbara made sure to keep her 94-year-old grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, close during the wedding celebrations. His wife, her grandmother former First Lady Barbara Bush, died in April of complications from pulmonary disease at age 92.

"Craig didn’t get to meet my grandmother," she said. "I thought there would be plenty of time for that to happen."

Barbara's mom, Laura Bush, gave an emotional toast during the reception. Of a summer night long ago in Midland, Texas, when her babies were asleep in bed, Laura recalled: "Daddy and I were in our little backyard at twilight, and I thought, 'This is the life.' Well, Barbara and Craig: This is the life."
