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.

You forgot her new diamond studded boob belt..
Funny - there was a pic of Bill & Hil with the couple, but not one with all of them together [with Marc’s parents].
Maybe they did not want a pic with the ex-con Ed and Margie [of deer-in-the-headlights photo fame after voting for tax increase bill in 1993] Mezvinsky ...

Only a measly 100k, huh?
Lovely, yes way! She might not be a perfect beauty but she looks radiant here on her wedding day. Sometimes, the loveliness comes from the inside out ya know.
Nice picture! Congrats to Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky.
The groom is wearing what I would call a “simper.”
49 years of this, including ups and downs myself.
*Well, Im pleasantly surprised. Chelsea looks very beautiful.*
Are you drunk? She’s uglier than f*ck.
I could care less what chelsea looks like but I do hope her manners have improved as I recall she was an insulting snob to our military while living in the WH.
Thanks for the post.
Rarely mentioned is the fact that the Astor Courts Esrate is the residence of the daughter of none other than George Soros.
Curiouser and curiouser.
No beef for Chelsea. Among the previously secret details of her life, now public knowledge is that she is a Vegan. Yuck!
I thought that the invitations read “evening attire and black tie”
Why do some ofnthese geezers think they are hip with the skinny ties at a $5 million dollar formal wedding?
That’s her new non-butch hairstyle and clothing. All the better for her re-run for PORYS om 2012. Especially now that she has married off her gal pal Huma to Anthony Weiner.
As an amatuer fashion critic here’s my take on the fashion: Bill looks scrawny and he needs some concealer on his red face. His shirt fits him poorly and I didn’t know skinny ties were back in style. Chelsea’s dress is elegant and the simple jewelry doesn’t compete with the crystals on her belt. Her hair and veil are timelesss. I liked Jenna’s dress, but without a veil and uncombed hair she didn’t look like a bride. I’ll save my comments on Hillary’s dress until I see more of it, but from what I saw the color is gorgeous. Does the groom HAVE to wear the shawl? Doesn’t he know only the bride is supposed the wear white? One final comment: Chelsea could have worn a sack dress and she still would have looked better than both of the Johnson girls on their wedding days.
‘she no doubt has the same view as her parents that all of us here should all be put to death..’
Where do you get this stuff! Please sober up!
The Bill Clinton hosts batchelor party thread was a humor thread.
Good luck Chelsea, I think you are going to need it.
I'll lay odds that he won't make it to 70 years.
