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 Clinton’s 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.

As for the toilets, they will be equipped with sinks with hot water, vanities for the ladies, marble interior and skylights with a male and female attendant in each trailer.
Wedding planner Claudia Hanlin said the final bill would be pushed up by the high quality demanded across the board.
‘Food and booze are already expensive, but the Clintons are reportedly hiring multiple vendors, which is one reason the food estimate gets so high,’ she said.
On the plus side, it looks like both sets of parents can afford it. Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and the child of two politician parents, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and Edward M. Mezvinsky, both former members of Congress.
Marc and Chelsea were teenage friends in Washington DC and they became closer as undergraduates at Stanford University, California.

I read a report today that called it a “$1M wedding” and I had to laugh. It appears to be costing far more than that, but the lying media is running cover the very rich political elite and pretending that somehow these people care about the Little People.

I wish Chelsea well in her marriage, but with all this talk of money and the power of those around them - I feel it will not end well.
Count the silverware.
The Clinton’s aren’t paying one thin dime for Chelsea’s wedding. Photos of the lavish affair willmost likely appear in the portfolios of those who planned and executed the reception. The Clinton’s get a free wedding for their daughter and the wedding planners get lots of free publicity.
How much more of this are Americans willing to absorb?
Oh.
Oh right ...
I don’t understand all the griping about how much Chelsea’s wedding cost.
The millions they’re spending is just pouring money back into the economy.
Let them eat cake, choke on it for all I care. A horde of “small people” will be employed as a result of this, at least for a few days.
Boy, she really does look like a cross between Hillary and Web Hubbell.
More jobs the Democrats are pushing overseas.
I’d love to see the pre-nup. It’s probably longer than the health care bill.
That’s one expensive pork chop hung around her neck so some dog would play with her!
Actually, Dad probably won't be there ...
A fancy wedding becomes useless the next day.
I think there was a picture of Houma-Humma-Hummus in there, too.............
Exactly. If they wanted to pay me to wash dishes, I'd take the job.
Yep, I'd like to see more rich folk spending lots of it.
“Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs......”
That explains everything!
