Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky
Chelsea Clinton married her long-term partner, Marc Mezvinsky, an investment banker, at the Astor Courts residence in New York.
As guests arrived in limos, a no-fly zone was above the Hudson Valley, and adjacent roads were closed. Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson, Steven Bing, and a handful of congress members and other notable Democrats were among the star-studded guest list. Rabbi James Ponet and the Rev. William Shillady officiated at the event. Chelsea chose a strapless silk organza gown by Vera Wang, who was in attendance at the wedding. The flower-covered chuppah (traditional wedding tent) costs between $35,000 and $45,000. Interestingly, Chelsea and Marc met when they were teenagers and were both students at Stanford University, but their relationship didn’t flourish until late 2005. The pair confirmed their engagement in November 2009, following reports that they will marry in the summer of 2009 in Martha’s Vineyard.
