I feel sorry for Chelsea Clinton. She has seen the flip side of money and fame. Daddy's scandal with Monica comes to mind. Tight security had to be a drag. Well, she's getting married. Rhinebeck, NY will never be the same! Papa Bill is pulling out all the stops. After all, she's his only daughter! (Right?) Estimates are somewhere around $2 million dollars for the nuptials. Here's a partial laundry list:
$100,000-$200,000 to rent Astor Courts
$500,00-$750,000 for two dinners and cocktail hours
$200,000 for tents
$250,000 for flowers
$40,000 for the band
$25,000-$40,000 for a "good wedding photographer"
Ah, it's a grand celebration of love between two young people! You will hear much more about this event during the week. I thought that some of these figures may be of interest, especially for you little people as we muddle through the worst recession since the great depression.
