Wedding bell buzz is kicking into high gear in Rhinebeck, and as the town prepares for Chelsea Clinton's big day more details are emerging about the groom.
Clinton's fiancé, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, is about to become the man of the hour.
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to marry Mezvinsky on a private estate on the river on Saturday.
The two met as teenagers at a leadership retreat in 1993, both went to Stanford and, like Chelsea, Mezvinky has dealt with adversity -- his father, a former congressman, served time in prison for fraud.
Town officials in the Hudson Valley bracing for Clinton's wedding this weekend approved spending $2,500 for extra police coverage.
The Rhinebeck Town Council authorized the spending during a meeting Monday.
The Clintons have refused to disclose the location of the wedding. But Rhinebeck Supervisor Thomas Traudt said based on his conversations with state and county police, Wedding bell buzz is the extra service this weekend will be helpful.
One resident at the council meeting shouted that the extra expenses should be paid for by the father of the bride.
Rhinebeck, a town of about 8,000 residents, is just 75 miles from the Chappaqua, N.Y., home the former president and first lady bought before her successful run for the U.S. Senate in 2000. The Clintons have passed through the town a number of times.
Put in a call to the Lippo Bank.
Why didn’t they just hold the wedding in their backyard instead of a beautiful little like this. Heck, why not have it in Harlem?
I hope they get heavy downpouring rain.
The boy’s father has served time for fraud, and the girls mother should have served time for insider trading and her father is a jag-off who sold contaminated blood.
I wish them luck. They are going to need it.

Hey, you forgot to add that the bride has a horse face!
Sadly, Billy J never got the hard time he deserved
The Beekman Arms Hotel in Rhinebeck is a beautiful inn dating back to colonial times..it was a stop on the Post Road to Albany..many happy memories in my teens, while working in the area, on my day off sipping frozen daquiris on the porch there..
He's already got his Eleanor Roosevelt.
Mezvinsky “dealt with adversity” the same way as Charlie Manson - by doing time
After seeing Chels on the campaign trail for Hillary! in 2008, it’s pretty obvious that she’ll be in the mix also.
I expected her to be in Congress by now, but perhaps she’s waiting for a second run by mom in the 012 primaries.
“The two met as teenagers at a leadership retreat in 1993, both went to Stanford and, like Chelsea, Mezvinky has dealt with adversity — his father, a former congressman, served time in prison for fraud. “
So... the proud fathers will have some ‘common ground’ for the basis of their relationship.
Both in politics, both convicted liars.
As for the mothers, Both were in politics.
However.... Hillary hates Jews. Marc is Jewish. Wonder how that will work out?
Lippo Bank!!!! A name from the past!!
"His father is a convicted felon, guilty of bank fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud, for which he served five years in prison and was released in 2008. His father duped friends, friends of friends, associates — and even his mother-in-law — in business-related scams."
Let's see, where have I seen that before? MADOFF?
His father is a crook. Her mother and father are both crooks. With all of the crooks in the family, they should be able to con some money for extra security.
The people of Rhinebeck shouldn’t have to pay for these scum.
Oh, and the bride’s mother and father have been implicated in approximately 30 murders.
That wedding will probably generate more money than that town has ever seen.

LOL! That was cruel.
The Clintons have been implicated in 30 murders?
I know about Vince Foster, but who are the other 29?
