Actually, Dad probably won't be there ...

Tents costing £400,000 have been set up, £70,000 is going on tables and crockery and a staggering £320,000 is being spent on flowers, thought to be Casablanca lillies and orchids. Miss Clinton’s dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, is rumoured to be a cool £16,000, and the jewellery she wears on the day is worth £160,000. The cake alone will cost £7,000 and security a further £130,000. Estimates put the cost at between £1.9million and £3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings. When Liza Minnelli and David Gest tied the knot, it cost £1.6million, while Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spent £1.2million.

As for the toilets, they will be equipped with sinks with hot water, vanities for the ladies, marble interior and skylights with a male and female attendant in each trailer.
Wedding planner Claudia Hanlin said the final bill would be pushed up by the high quality demanded across the board.
‘Food and booze are already expensive, but the Clintons are reportedly hiring multiple vendors, which is one reason the food estimate gets so high,’ she said.
On the plus side, it looks like both sets of parents can afford it. Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and the child of two politician parents, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and Edward M. Mezvinsky, both former members of Congress.
Marc and Chelsea were teenage friends in Washington DC and they became closer as undergraduates at Stanford University, California.

I read a report today that called it a “$1M wedding” and I had to laugh. It appears to be costing far more than that, but the lying media is running cover the very rich political elite and pretending that somehow these people care about the Little People.

(Includes some photos of Chelsea Victoria Clinton without make-up ...)
I wish Chelsea well in her marriage, but with all this talk of money and the power of those around them - I feel it will not end well.
Count the silverware.
The Clinton’s aren’t paying one thin dime for Chelsea’s wedding. Photos of the lavish affair willmost likely appear in the portfolios of those who planned and executed the reception. The Clinton’s get a free wedding for their daughter and the wedding planners get lots of free publicity.
How much more of this are Americans willing to absorb?
Oh.
Oh right ...
I don’t understand all the griping about how much Chelsea’s wedding cost.
The millions they’re spending is just pouring money back into the economy.
Let them eat cake, choke on it for all I care. A horde of “small people” will be employed as a result of this, at least for a few days.
Boy, she really does look like a cross between Hillary and Web Hubbell.
More jobs the Democrats are pushing overseas.
I’d love to see the pre-nup. It’s probably longer than the health care bill.
That’s one expensive pork chop hung around her neck so some dog would play with her!
Actually, Dad probably won't be there ...
A fancy wedding becomes useless the next day.
I think there was a picture of Houma-Humma-Hummus in there, too.............
Exactly. If they wanted to pay me to wash dishes, I'd take the job.
Yep, I'd like to see more rich folk spending lots of it.
“Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs......”
That explains everything!
And obviously, Mezvinsky knows a good investment when he sees one.
Indeed. To him, this was part of his retirement/life package deal that he could not let go. Thanks to his folks & future in-laws.
She shoulda gotten a chin implant while she was at it.
Yes, I saw that same story and it made me laugh too;
That’s why I posted this which ought to be in News so all can see how we are all getting scr*wed !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldnt it be great if all the people the Groom’s father scammed out of their money showed up and demanded admittance? Or if all the people who got sick from the tainted blood Bubba sold showed up and asked for a piece of the cake.
One of the things that really gets to me is that we all know of their past. We all know what crooks ,perverts, and scam artists they are and yet they unashamedly show their arrogance by parading themselves and their ill gotten wealth in from of the nation.
Worse yet many Americans think this is great.
True
Chelsea is creating more jobs than Obama.
LOL!
I don’t think Hillary is known for paying her vendors.
How many of these schmucks are going to be asked to make their services a “donation”?
Speaking of donations, is Hillarys campaign debt fund on Chelsea’s gift registry?
Let them eat cake.
Lordy- she has his eyes, lips and chin doesnt she?
Do you think she knows?
Mrs. Weiner got hitched herself on July 10.
Ole Billy J hisself did the ceremony.
Smart Jewish boys usually do.
Which reminds me.
With HILLARY'S known disdain for Jews, why is her daughter marrying a Jewish man?
Is this going to be a Jewish Wedding?
Will Bill and Hillary claim they ARE Jewish?
How come this nightmare just keeps going and I never wake up?
A large razorback will be roasted by the see-ment pond, then all invited guests will retire to the Billiard Room to dine high off the hog on the plush green felt, using pot-passers to spear the swine-flesh, and all under the visage of the mighty, mounted Billiard.
Hmm.. as an amateur cake decorator, I was kind of hoping to see who got the commission, to see if it was a name I recognized. But the article is woefully short on that kind of detail.
What’s it to you? Limbaugh spent a cool million just to have some guy sing for an hour or so.
She’s picking a jew because he’s probably the only guy she’s been with. If she met him in 93, she was 13. Poor girl never had a chance to play the field.
Limbaugh’s not a Cabinet member and federal employee who is expected to abide by regs regarding gifts.
Imagine having Hillary Clinton as your MOTHER IN LAW.
Bill Clinton made $6 million last year; I don’t think they’re looking for a handout. I believe Chelsea is the one getting married, not her mother - any gifts will be to her and her husband - not her parents.
“£3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings.”
I’m sure they would have settled for a $25,000 wedding (I believe that’s the national average) but then they heard Barack Obama was coming and they’ve seen how expensive his tastes are. Wouldn’t want to make the Emperor mad!
so now is your chance to read up on all the sordid details of his 20+ years long history of financial fraud of his friends and clients ---
and the $10,000,000 that he netted ---
after FAILING to cheat the Nigerians out of their money first!!!!
Who in the world has NOT heard of Nigerian scams ???
How dumb could this ex-Congressman possibly be?
Yet note that both Mezvinsky jr. and Chelsea Victoria jr went to Stanford University (when she wasn't falling down drunk at her many parties in London).
Does anyone here really think either of these two is intellectually qualified to go to Stanford U ???
Can we see their SAT scores ???
Thought not.

Her new step-dad was so GREEDY that he tried to scam the Nigerians !!!
When that failed (many times), then he scammed his own friends and family and clients out of $10,000,000!!!

Prosecutors later would call Mezvinsky a one-man "crime wave" and said they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every business deal of his dating to 1980. "We didn't even bother to look back farther," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Zauzmer
He is 66 and serving the beginning of an 80-month sentence in federal prison for numerous charges, including bank, wire and mail fraud. He took people's money - more than $10 million - in elaborate lies and schemes.
-------------------
Chelsea's New Family:
If reports are true that Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are considering marriage, the father of the groom won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November 2008.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2558600/posts
Ed Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams.
Initially, Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen," federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast this evening.
• But then, says Zauzmer, Mezvinsky began to steal from clients and even his own mother-in-law to raise the money to try yet another scheme.
• "He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said Zauzmer.
After leaving Congress, Mezvinsky moved to Philadelphia's Main Line suburbs with his wife Marjorie Margolies, a former television reporter, who won a seat in Congress herself as a Democratic congresswomen from Pennsylvania.
"They were seen as people of means; they were a legitimate power couple," said Gar Joseph, a political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Mezvinkskys were also close to Bill and Hillary Clinton and were frequent guests at White House state dinners.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky used his connections to the Clintons and his son's social relationship with Chelsea to persuade people to give him money to participate in the scams.
Mezvinsky traveled to Nigeria numerous times and ultimately lost more than $3 million as a victim of the scammers.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell particularly hard for what is known as the "black money" scam. Victims are told millions of dollars have been coated with black ink so the money could be smuggled out of Nigeria.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/12/father_of_chels.html
The scammers then offer to sell a special, expensive chemical to remove the black ink so the currency can be used.
Prosecutors say Mezvinsky fell for at least three separate "black money" schemes that he thought would bring him millions.
Mezvinsky declined requests sent to him in prison to speak with ABC.
--------------
But consider that the unsaid details are extremely interesting:
Both mom and dad were Congressmen, from different states!!!
Prosecutors say EVERY deal step-dad ever did since 1980 had fraud within it.
$10,000,000 stolen !!!
So, who is paying for this wedding and what money is being used?
Step-dad’s fine was “only” $3,000,000” so clear net profit is $7,000,000.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wonder, I wonder,
Bill, Hillary, step-dad, bernie madoff, I guess this is how people have $5,000,000 weddings in modern America.
All bow down to our new rulers!
Or perhaps the money came from the “hedge fund” where C works and for which she went to bat in Congress for (and where she got laughed at for trying it).
Has she fallen down drunk lately?
Ordered any more $25,000 bottles of wine lately???
BTW
Do you KNOW anyone who drinks $25,000 bottles of wine or has $5,000,000 weddings?
I don’t.
This takes “Let them eat cake” to a whole new level!
“Mezvinsky is an investment banker at Goldman Sachs......”
That explains everything!
Goldman Sachs and the Art of “Ripping Your Clients’ Faces Off” !!!

She shoulda gotten a chin implant while she was at it.
She already did
Those are the after photos ............
Wouldnt it be great if all the people the Groom’s father scammed out of their money showed up and demanded admittance?
Wonderful idea.
And at $7000 per, they’d have NO chance of getting in ..........
Didn’t Hillary already claim, falsely, that she is 1/4 Jewish?
During her first Senate run ???
Or a bunch of "undocumented guests" show up demanding admittance and food.
