Tents costing £400,000 have been set up, £70,000 is going on tables and crockery and a staggering £320,000 is being spent on flowers, thought to be Casablanca lillies and orchids. Miss Clintons dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, is rumoured to be a cool £16,000, and the jewellery she wears on the day is worth £160,000. The cake alone will cost £7,000 and security a further £130,000. Estimates put the cost at between £1.9million and £3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings. When Liza Minnelli and David Gest tied the knot, it cost £1.6million, while Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spent £1.2million.

Imagine having Hillary Clinton as your MOTHER IN LAW.
Bill Clinton made $6 million last year; I don’t think they’re looking for a handout. I believe Chelsea is the one getting married, not her mother - any gifts will be to her and her husband - not her parents.
“£3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings.”
I’m sure they would have settled for a $25,000 wedding (I believe that’s the national average) but then they heard Barack Obama was coming and they’ve seen how expensive his tastes are. Wouldn’t want to make the Emperor mad!
so now is your chance to read up on all the sordid details of his 20+ years long history of financial fraud of his friends and clients ---
and the $10,000,000 that he netted ---
after FAILING to cheat the Nigerians out of their money first!!!!
Who in the world has NOT heard of Nigerian scams ???
How dumb could this ex-Congressman possibly be?
Yet note that both Mezvinsky jr. and Chelsea Victoria jr went to Stanford University (when she wasn't falling down drunk at her many parties in London).
Does anyone here really think either of these two is intellectually qualified to go to Stanford U ???
Can we see their SAT scores ???
Thought not.

Her new step-dad was so GREEDY that he tried to scam the Nigerians !!!
When that failed (many times), then he scammed his own friends and family and clients out of $10,000,000!!!

Prosecutors later would call Mezvinsky a one-man "crime wave" and said they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every business deal of his dating to 1980. "We didn't even bother to look back farther," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Zauzmer
He is 66 and serving the beginning of an 80-month sentence in federal prison for numerous charges, including bank, wire and mail fraud. He took people's money - more than $10 million - in elaborate lies and schemes.

Chelsea's New Family:
If reports are true that Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are considering marriage, the father of the groom won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November 2008.

Ed Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams.
Initially, Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen," federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast this evening.
But then, says Zauzmer, Mezvinsky began to steal from clients and even his own mother-in-law to raise the money to try yet another scheme.
"He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said Zauzmer.
After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky moved to Philadelphia's Main Line suburbs with his wife Marjorie Margolies, a former television reporter, who won a seat in Congress herself as a Democratic congresswomen from Pennsylvania.
"They were seen as people of means; they were a legitimate power couple," said Gar Joseph, a political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Mezvinkskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky used his connections to the Clintons and his son's social relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams.
Mezvinsky traveled to Nigeria numerous times and ultimately lost more than $3 million as a victim of the scammers.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell particularly hard for what is known as the "black money" scam. Victims are told millions of dollars have been coated with black ink so the money could be smuggled out of Nigeria.

The scammers then offer to sell a special, expensive chemical to remove the black ink so the currency can be used.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell for at least three separate "black money" schemes that he thought would bring him millions.
Mezvinsky declined requests sent to him in prison to speak with ABC.

But consider that the unsaid details are extremely interesting:
Both mom and dad were Congressmen, from different states!!!
Prosecutors say EVERY deal step-dad ever did since 1980 had fraud within it.
$10,000,000 stolen !!!
So, who is paying for this wedding and what money is being used?
Step-dads fine was only $3,000,000 so clear net profit is $7,000,000.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wonder, I wonder,
Bill, Hillary, step-dad, bernie madoff, I guess this is how people have $5,000,000 weddings in modern America.
All bow down to our new rulers!
Or perhaps the money came from the hedge fund where C works and for which she went to bat in Congress for (and where she got laughed at for trying it).
Has she fallen down drunk lately?
Ordered any more $25,000 bottles of wine lately???
BTW
Do you KNOW anyone who drinks $25,000 bottles of wine or has $5,000,000 weddings?
I dont.
This takes “Let them eat cake” to a whole new level!
Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs......
That explains everything!
Goldman Sachs and the Art of “Ripping Your Clients’ Faces Off” !!!

She shoulda gotten a chin implant while she was at it.
She already did
Those are the after photos ............
Wouldnt it be great if all the people the Grooms father scammed out of their money showed up and demanded admittance?
Wonderful idea.
And at $7000 per, they’d have NO chance of getting in ..........
Didn’t Hillary already claim, falsely, that she is 1/4 Jewish?
During her first Senate run ???
Or a bunch of "undocumented guests" show up demanding admittance and food.
I don’t feel that they want to share “their” cake with us ...
Read about what Goldman managers say to each other by email when they think no peon is looking:

Cool!
Because of your post I looked up Arugula (so I’m dumb and kept wondering what it was. I thought it was some sort of exotic dish). Sheesh, it’s just plain ole mustard greens. What a let-down.
The marriage is for the bride and groom; the wedding is for the parents.
Somebody translate all those pounds in dollars...Pounds mean nothing to me.
I posted a quote from Barack Obama when he wanted it to sound like he was an “everyman” on the campaign trail.
BTW, he was pricing it at the upscale yuppie-neohippie Whole Foods Market.
Multiply all the pounds by one and a half
For ex
10,000 pounds = $15,000
approximately
All the numbers are unbelievably HUGE
The cake is over $10,000 !!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, high-priced soul food.
