Put away the bridal magazines. Former First Daughter Barbara Bush is not planning to get married anytime soon, a source tells PEOPLE.
Despite reports that the Bush twin, 27, is going to marry her boyfriend Jaly Blount this summer, a Bush family source tells PEOPLE there is no wedding in the works.
"The story is absolutely not true," the source says.
It's been nearly a year since Barbara's twin, Jenna, married Henry Hager in Texas last May.

Bush Daughters: We're Ready for Dad to Return to Texas
Originally posted 12/19/2008 10:15AM
After eight years in the White House, President Bush's twin daughters are looking forward to a respite from Washington – if only for their father's sake.
In a PEOPLE interview, Jenna Hager and Barbara Bush, both 27, reflect on the strain George W. Bush has been under. The twins also offer some advice to the Obamas' daughters, Sasha and Malia, and Jenna's new husband Henry Hager talks about bonding with the First Father-in-Law.
Jenna and Barbara, how have you seen your parents change over the last eight years?
Jenna: Eight years ago, my dad was a very popular Texas governor. And I think in Texas, he was able to get a lot done because he was friends with Democrats and Republicans – Democrats supported him. So he was – we were very optimistic. I think maybe I was a little naive about how people would treat him. But he's never wavered in his decisions and he's the same as he was when we were little, his ethics. So that's something to be proud of in itself.
Barbara: And I would say we haven't see our parents as people change that much, because they've stayed the same to us and they've, as Jenna said, have the same characteristics and ethics that they had all their life.
Jenna: He looks a little bit older, obviously. He's been under a lot of stress, so we're ready for him to go back to Texas and be warmly received, I'm sure.

President Hosts White House Wedding Reception

A White House wedding reception for first daughter Jenna and new husband Henry Hager on Saturday night drew hundreds of friends and family, including President Bush, who took to the dance floor.
The United States Marine Band played a selection of standards and other "oldies-but-goodies," one of the guests tells PEOPLE, for the Republican-heavy crowd of 600 including secretaries of state past and present, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice.
President Bush danced, as did First Lady Laura Bush and their two daughters, Barbara and her newlywed sister Jenna, who is just back from her Hawaiian honeymoon, the guest says.

Tuesday brought a round of firsts for first lady Laura Bush – including her launch as a first-time author, her providing the first public tour of the family's Texas ranch, and her initial stint as a network morning-show host.
"And welcome back to another hour of Today," Mrs. Bush said live from Studio A in New York's Rockefeller Center. "A beautiful crowd here in our plaza in midtown Manhattan. I'm Laura Bush, and I'll be your guest host today, Tuesday, April 22, 2008."
"That's something you don't hear every day," quipped the show's co-anchor Matt Lauer – as the guest host's daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, observed their mother from the show's in-studio news desk.
"Very good job," critiqued Jenna.

Barbara Bush's Beau Among 'Most Beautiful'
Originally posted 03/29/2005 09:00AM
IDENTIFIED: First Twin Barbara Bush has been seen keeping company in New York, Washington and Texas with a tall, dark-haired young man named Jay Blount, The Washington Post reports. The official word from the White House is that Blount has been "identified only as a friend of the family," though The Post says Blount, like Barbara and her presidential father and grandfather before her, is a Yalie – class of '05 and a founding member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Two years ago, according to the Yale Daily News, he was named one of the New Haven campus's "50 Most Beautiful People."
