Unlike many brides, Hillary Clinton said yes to a dress at the last minute. The politician opened up about her unique wedding story during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
“Is it true that you went to Dillard’s to grab a wedding dress at the last minute for your wedding?” host Drew Barrymore, 47, asked the former Secretary of State, 74, on the Thursday, September 15, episode of her talk show.
“Yes, it is,” revealed the Hard Choices author, who was joined by her daughter Chelsea Clinton for the visit. (The mother-daughter duo were promoting their new Apple TV+ show Gutsy, an eight-part documentary series that celebrates trailblazing women.)
“Ask her how many she tried on,” Chelsea, 42, interjected, to which Hillary responded: “I found what I wanted … only one.”
The Chicago native went on to explain that she didn’t have much time as Bill Clinton wanted to “hurry” to the alter after asking Hillary to marry him three times.
“My husband had asked me to marry him twice, and I said ‘Not now. No.’ The third time was a charm, and he said, ‘Well, let’s hurry up and do it before you change your mind,” the lawyer said, which prompted the audience to burst into laughter and applause.
Hillary continued: “So, we said, ‘OK, next Saturday.’ My mother comes down with my dad and she says, ‘Can I see your wedding dress?’ And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh! A wedding dress! I need one of those.'”

Wow!
What a gal of the people, that Upper middle class Chicago suburbs Hillary is!
He was dirt-poor but smart and charmng.
She came from an affluent family, and was willing to look the other way while Bill saw other women.
Dillard’s was top of the line back in the 70s. I was in the military. Couldn’t afford to let my wife shop there.
It wasn't a marriage. It was a political alliance. The deal was he would get to be President first, then her.
I am not making this up.
You never know. Maybe. Just maybe that’s what this tacky,
quickly taped together, Happy-Housewife stage propping is all about. It’s like one of those Friday The 13th movies; just when you think the monsterous thing has been finally been defeated, just when you are freely dancing on said, monster’s grave, a gnarled, warty hand pushes up from the earth, ready to grasp the nearest living thing for support and sustanance!
There is not a micrometer made that could register how little I care.
Great post.
And I think you are right.
Besides, she had Webb.
wait a minute- when i got married the last thing on my mind was a dress.
I also went to a department store and got a simple dress off the rack. Cause my mother brought it up.
Of all the things you don’t like about HRC her wedding dress should rank at the bottom of the list.
Yes, I remember two for the price of one.
I read Dolly Kyle’s book. She was beautiful and accomplished. Said Bill came to a party at her house one night and he was seen crying when she played the piano. Maybe he was thinking selling his soul wasn’t quite worth it.
Hillary claiming she was gutsy for staying when the Monica news came out is such a joke...she knew all about his affairs for decades.
We can but hope.
Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock, $53
And $53 in 1975 equals $291 today.
Was the wedding on Karl Marx birthday.
I presume her dress came from Dillards because JC Penny was closed.
Don’t forget Bill gave Monica the same book of poetry he gave Hillary. It was his pickup approach.
““Is it true that you went to Dillard’s to grab a wedding dress at the last minute for your wedding?” host Drew Barrymore, 47, asked the former Secretary of State”
Such hard hitting questions. Why did Hillary even agree to be on this show?
I’m pretty sure that if she gets married again, there is only one woman that will do . . . her. I can just see her banging herself in the eye with an ashtray all day long. She’ll probably even barely miss.
As if anyone here cares.
Looked like a Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock...I used to work in a bridal shop back in the day....
