Sure, Jenna Hager was excited about planning her May 10 nuptials to Henry Hager — but not nearly as much as First Lady Laura Bush.

"She did start calling me Momzilla!" Laura admits on an upcoming episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing Wednesday, May 28).

Adds Jenna, 26: "She liked the details more than I did!"

Laura says, "It really kind of hurt my feelings."

Still, Jenna, who just attended her husband's graduation, says she was glad to have her mother's input.

"She’s just really good with details about parties — I would not have thought of some of the details," says Jenna, who jokes her appearance on DeGeneres' show was "sort of like a therapy session."

(See photos from Jenna's wedding at her parents' Texas 1,600-acre ranch. When Ellen asks if she could wed Portia di Rossi at the ranch, Jenna says, "sure.")

Her daughter's wedding isn't the only milestone for the First Lady. In January, she will be vacating the White House after eight years.

"It’s a long time to live in the White House and to have that kind of stress," she says. "There are a lot of things I’m looking forward to."

She says she's "going to keep a little book of things that I want to do ... like garden."

Jokes Jenna, "Today she said, 'I just can’t wait to garden.' I was like, 'Yeah, right!'"
