both were invited guests.
Just a wild guess, but I think that is the point of this thread.
So you are saying that both Elton John and Karl Rove were paid $1,000,000 to attend the wedding?
Dude, put the shovel down, and stop digging a deeper hole.
Elton John was the $1,000,000 DJ. Rove was the invited guest for the $2,500 plated dinner and open bar.
