RHINEBECK, N.Y. Chelsea Clinton wed her longtime boyfriend under extraordinary security at an elegant Hudson River estate late Saturday.
Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton announced in a statement that their daughter wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky after weeks of secrecy and buildup that had celebrity watchers flocking to the small village of Rhinebeck for the evening nuptials.
The site of the wedding, a Beaux Arts riverside estate called Astor Courts, was sealed off from the general public.
"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends," the Clintons said.
"We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family.
On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day."
The ceremony was conducted by a rabbi and a reverend as Chelsea Clinton is Methodist and Mezvinsky is Jewish, and included a poem by Leo Marks titled, "The Life That I Have," according to the family.
Consistent with Chelsea Clinton's desire for privacy, the family had released no details of the wedding beyond the date.
But the scope of the event became apparent when more than a half-dozen busloads of wedding guests men in black tie, women in dresses were transported from a hotel in the village to the riverside ceremony as gawkers looked on.

Bill looks terrible.....I wonder if he lost weight and took it to extreme because of doctors orders or if he has some big time health problems....
I hope he is okay and as a family on this day they look happy and Chelsea is stunning.....
There are 5 photos.
I thought her hair looked fine...for her age....as a woman in the same range (she’s about 4 yrs older than me)....I can appreciate the problems with hair at this age...luckily I’m not under a photographer and others microscope!
the four of them look really great.
I had that same thought...
Hill had HER face "refreshed" recently! She'll look clean for several months, now.
ROFL!
I wish I had her lipstick contract. That’s a lot of lip to stick.
lovely photo of them, also, you can see Hillary over to the right.. and I must say, she looks very nice also.
I knew a rabbi who would save the foreskins and sell them to the gays in SF for chewing gum
Good for them.
She looks lovely!
Al baby...do yourself a favor ane buy yourself joke from this century.
Good for them.
Yes, let’s hope that for both of them. Leftism is destructive period.
...but accurate!
You have to admit, though, that it took a lot of money to pay for all of the face work that helped her to do the best with what God gave her.
I’m expecting 0 to be out of office when the eldest is 13.
That is the first sincere smile I have ever seen on Hillary’s face....the photo definitely shows proud parents loving the moment with their daughter and new husband. Best I’ve seen Hillary look.... Chelsea...well...Brides are always radiant on their wedding day.
Lovely picture. I wish Chelsea and her husband happiness.
Any photos of his parents?
I know what it’s like to be the groom’s parents. After that one or two photos, the photographer forgets you are there.....they know who’s paying their bill....HAHA!
