Chelsea Clinton - An All American, Fairytale Wedding

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

On July 31, 2010, America had its own version of a royal wedding. Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky tied the knot. Chelsea looked simply breath-taking as her father, Bill, walked her down the aisle. The wedding took place at the Astor Court Estate in Rhinebeck, NY. Clinton wore a custom silk organza Vera Wang wedding gown.

When asked how she felt about Chelsea choosing her as her gown designer, Wang commented: “It was an honour and a privilege to dress Chelsea on her wedding day. I have watched her grow into a beautiful, grounded and caring young woman. She radiated joy, youth and happiness. I wish Chelsea and Marc a long, happy and healthy life together.”

While many of us are familiar with Chelsea Clinton, not everyone knows who Marc Mezvinsky is. Mezvinsky comes from a political background as well. He is the son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky and former NBC reporter and congresswoman Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky. Marc is an investment banker with Goldman Sachs.

The couple met as teens, and attended Stanford together.

Despite the security required for the 500 guests, dignitaries and celebrities present at the wedding, the ceremony was incredibly romantic and intimate.

Details have been kept under wraps, but some information is out. During the interfaith ceremony the couple quoted from The Life That I Have by Leo Marks. Marc wore a traditional Jewish prayer shawl and cap with a Burberry suit. A Jewish Marriage certificate was beautifully displayed (called a Katuba). Both Chelsea and Mark exchanged their tender vows of everlasting love and commitment to each other.

Chelsea’s and Mark’s $3 million wedding was nothing short of a fairy-tale wedding.
