Chelsea Clinton is getting married!
20 Jul
Is it me or does it seem like just about every celebrity is getting married of late! From Penelope Cruz to Carrie Underwood to… OK, if Brangelina happens to walk down the aisle this year – I’m buying 4D!
The Clintons - American royalty
But on a (somewhat) serious note, come July 31st, Chelsea Clinton, Bill & Hillary’s only child and daughter, is tying the knot with her fiance Marc Mezvinsky. As a fan of Hilary & Obama, I thought we should give her wedding a little bit of coverage on WGA. Not to mention, it’s actually pretty big news! Given politicians are the closest thing to royalty in America, the media has been scrambling all over to get any word on this secretive wedding.
No wonder there’s even a website purely dedicated to Chelsea’s wedding. Aptly called www.chelseaclintonweddingwatch.
They’re watching you Chelsea.
Chelsea & Marc
So you’re thinking, who’s this Marc dude! Well, being the well-behaved daughter she’s always been, Chelsea chose to date a fellow democrat, as beau Marc is actually the son of a former democratic congressman (at least the in-laws will get along). Presently a banker for Goldman Sachs, Marc has actually known Chelsea’s since her teens, but the two only started dating during their student days at Stanford.
Chelsea’s Little White Book (what we know thus far!):
Astor Courts
Venue: Astor Courts. Located about 90 miles north of NYC, Astor Courts is considered to be one of the grandest Hudson river mansions. Built by Gilded Age tycoon John Jacob Astor IV (who sadly died on the Titanic), it sits on 525 acres of farmland, hayfields and forest. Why is Astor Courts the most probable venue? Because it’s currently overrun by men-in-black, aka Secret Service agents. Who I suspect are not there on a company trip.
Celebrity planner: Bryan Rafanelli. Bryan has planned numerous weddings for the who’s who, and was actually behind some of Hilary’s fundraisers during her 2008 presidential campaign. So he’s obviously passed the Clinton seal of approval!
Dress: Media reports are split. It appears to be a clean fight between Oscar De La Renta and Vera Wang. Perhaps she has two gowns?
Guests: 400 pax. When your mum is the current Secretary of State and dad is an ex-president, you’ve got to have a few celebs on the list. According to The Hudson Valley News, guests invited include President Obama (though he’s not attending), Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and media mogul Ted Turner.
And… that’s all we know for now! For the complete low down, I’d say we have to wait till July 31 st! Or be invited to the wedding.
