Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky Wedding, Who's in it and Who Cares?

With Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky's wedding just a day away many watchers and insiders are paying attention closely to what Chelsea Clinton plans to wear for her wedding dress, how she plans to style her hair and what type of flowers she plans to use in her bouquet.

Being herald as 2010's Royal Wedding Chelsea and fiance Marc Mezvinsky are planning to tie the knot in beautiful Rhinebeck, New York at the Astor Courts surrounded by friends, family and some of the top celebrity friends of the brides parents, former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary.

With a wedding budget of $3 million and a guest list including Director Steven Spielberg, Singer Barbra Streisand and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair what could a girl on her big day not have?

The bride will be wearing a designer dress from either Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, flowers by actress Eva Longoria's florist flown in specially for the wedding, a no-fly zone over the area and porcelain port-a-potties with classical and jazz music playing in them.

Us Magazine is reporting the brides parents Bill and Hillary will be staying Friday night at Astor Courts along with the bride.

A rehearsal dinner is planned in a barn at Grasmere Estate, and guests not invited to the dinner will be enjoying cocktails and orderves at the Beekman Arms hotel. The Beekman Arms is sold-out leading up to the event along with the Delamater Inn. The entire event will be a who's-who in the entertainment industry and political arena.

But the event isn't just down to Chelsea and her parents. The groom Marc Mezvinsky's parents Ed and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky are planning to invite a group of their former Congressional colleagues

Many of the guests staying at area Inns and hotels didn't give their names when booking their rooms and received only a room number to avoid tipping off the throng of paparazzi already camped out near the estate where the wedding is taking place hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple, their parents and their celebrity friends.

Guests coming in from out-of-town received a small box of chocolates from Samuel's and wine from Clinton Vineyards before checking in at their respective hotel.

Bill Clinton was already spotted Thursday at local caterer Gigi's Hudson Valley who will be one of the companies catering the event. Other trucks have been seen riding through the streets of Rhinebeck with tape covering their names to keep the attention at a minimum.

While some have had concerns the wedding party and secret service detail could cause a headache for travelers, many locals and local businesses are happily welcoming the former First Family to the small town for one of the biggest weddings of the year.

    With the price tag being enough to feed several families in several states across our nation who are unemployed and losing their homes and lives I suppose I would be one of those who could care less about this overly priced wedding of a young girl who is a no body if she wasn't born to Bill Clinton. I suppose though that they are just happy to be shed of her they must have worried a great deal that she would never find a man who would want to marry her unless he was seeking her money and well this guy has his own money.
