When your father is a former U.S. President and your mother is the Secretary of State, having your wedding reception in the local pub isn’t an option.
Chelsea Clinton’s big day in a country mansion on Saturday could cost up to £3.2million.
No expense will be spared at what will be the American society event of the year, with the equivalent of £6,400 being spent on each of the 500 guests.
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.

Remember when Jenna Bush got married? Quite a contrast here!
I said years ago when I first heard Chelsea was engaged that the Clinton’s weren’t going to let this go to waste.
This is a big networking occaision for them, along with free publicity and the beginning of their new venture- whatever it turns out to be.
I personally think it Hillary has her sights set on the WH, and Barack better get out of the way. They won’t forget how the lib press turned on them for the “One” - they weren’t used to getting treated like scurvy Republicans.
I agree think of this as the kick off for her to run for 12 kinda like that dudes funeral some years back. I also feel kinda sad for Chelsea
Man, I bet that that cake will really taste good, don’t you think so Mr. Obama?
Imagine the howls of press/pulpit outrage if former President Reagan’s children had gotten married in a $ 5 million bacchanlia with a $ 11,000 wedding cake in the middle of a recession with 17.5 percent real unemployment. I wonder if John Kerry will sail in on his tax-free new yacht or if Treasury Secretary Geithner or Charles Rangel of the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee will give presents purchased with their savings from cheating on their taxes?
Will the bridesmaids be in blue and wear berets??
My bet is that Chelsea is sedated that day.
Why can’t everyone have weddings like this?
It’s in the Constitution. ;-)
“Slick Willie”:”I FEEL YOUR PAIN”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I met Hillary Diane Rodham when she was 22. Dare I say it? Hillary was better looking than Chelsea.
“Slick Willie”:”I FEEL YOUR PAIN”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Slick Willie”:”I FEEL YOUR PAIN”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New money tackiness vs. old money class.
And Hillary will slip some salt peter into bills food for a few days before
Don’t hold your breath!
I have been reading comments on this a few times today......people across the pond as well as here are not impressed, there are a lot of snarky comments.......
FUNDRAISER!! They will haul in 5 MILLION!!!
