The Clinton Wedding is Here – and We’re Still Guessing!

I must say, I’m incredibly impressed with the class and true nobility of all of the Clinton family, especially the busy mother of the bride, as they prepare for the wedding of the summer.  Jackie Kennedy would have been proud.

With all the reality TV drama surrounding the minute details of  wedding planning, isn’t it nice that the Clintons have kept everything so quiet.

Sure, some of the details have been leaked.  We all know that it is to take place at Astor Court, a Beaux-Arts mansion with stunning views of the Hudson River, designed by legendary architect Stanford White, in Rhinebeck, New York.  Some of us have read articles about Bryan Rafanelli, the Boston-based event planner who has worked with the Clintons on previous events.  How lucky for him that he is a trusted advisor and does not need to prove his loyalty on this important event.  How lucky for the Clintons, that they have found vendors that are honoring their privacy.

I’m guessing that she will be wearing a Vera Wang gown, since the news shows posted a Vera-looking woman opening the door to her salon as Chelsea was gracious to the camera.

I, for one, am excited to see if any of our friends are involved in the wedding. Is Sylvia is doing the cake?  (She has previously made one for Hillary.) Is it true that Jimmy Vale is providing the orchestra?  And which magazine will honor us with the pictures?  Will they sell the images for a charity? And most intriguing for me, who is the photographer???  Anyone have any guesses – besides Dennis Reggie?

I wish Chelsea and Marc a beautiful life together.  I look forward to seeing Hillary and Bill as the proud mother and father of the bride. The Clintons have something to which they can truly be proud.  They certainly have done a great job as parents, raising a child in the public eye who seems to have grown to be a poised and self confident woman.  With her family’s support, Chelsea has managed to create her own fairy tale day.  Congratulations to all those involved! And if you need anyone to help you make your wedding albums…..
