Chelsea Clinton on safari in SA for honeymoon

It seemed the high-profile marriage of Chelsea Clinton to Marc Mezvinsky was being followed by a hush-hush honeymoon in South Africa.

The high-profile couple got married two weeks ago in upstate New York in a lavish ceremony.

The destination of Clinton and Mezvinsky’s honeymoon was a closely guarded secret but it was revealed that the couple headed into the bush on a safari in South Africa.

Bill Clinton has reportedly declined to comment on speculation about their honeymoon spot but various sources have let it slip.

We Guessed Right! Chelsea Clinton Is On A South African Safari For Her Honeymoon!

Chelsea’s honeymoon destination has finally been revealed, and it looks like her and new hubby Marc Mezvinsky have headed into the wild!

It looks like Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky have headed into the bush — they are celebrating their honeymoon on a South African safari! WWD reports, “sources say the newlyweds have headed into the wild — South Africa.” We guessed right!
President Clinton declined to comment on these speculations Monday, having said little since the wedding except to note his daughter’s nuptials were “wonderful.”
The paper goes on to point out the benefits of a safari for Chelsea and Marc, “First, few would recognize them in South Africa. And second, what paparazzi is going to risk being attacked by a lion or rhino just to get a photo of the couple?”
In our opinion, there may be more than a few paparazzi heading their now willing to take that risk for just one shot!

Interfaith couples offer advice for Chelsea and Marc

Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky last week entered into what many consider a challenging world: not just marriage, but an interfaith marriage.
Such marriages are steadily increasing, said Jeff Goldenberg, director of adult Jewish learning for the Jewish Community Center. The rate of interfaith marriage among U.S. Jews is about 50 percent, he said.
“We know this is going to happen,” he said, “so now the question is, ‘How do we address this issue?’ ”
Although Chelsea and Marc may hear from family, friends and even outsiders on this topic, a few Christian-Jewish couples offered their wisdom on how to make an interfaith marriage work:
Not everyone will be accepting
“Some people are judgmental,” said Mark Katz of Kansas City, Mo., who is Jewish and has been married 18 years to his wife, Jill. “You have to feel comfortable with your decisions.”
When Don and Leslie Nottberg of Overland Park, Kan., were married in 1976, many assumed their marriage would fail.
“We had to deal with our families as well as other people who did not know us well but felt they had a right to tell us the odds were against us and that we had made a wrong decision,” Leslie said. “But for who?”

Chelsea Clinton's wedding dance choreographed by Maksim of 'DWTS'

Who needs pre-wedding dance lessons from that Arthur Murray guy when you can get choreography from "Dancing With the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy instead?
Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky's "sultry" first dance as husband and wife — part of a little wedding celebration that went down Saturday in New York — was not only on-trend, wedding reception wise, but it was choreographed by the ballroom pro, People reports.
"It was an amazing, funny, unexpected dance," a friend of the bride told the mag.
Chmerkovskiy partnered with Erin Andrews in the most recent season of "DWTS" and has in the past danced with Tia Carrere, Laila Ali, Denise Richards, Misty May-Treanor, Willa Ford, Debi Mazar and Mel B, who was the runner-up that cycle.

No Wonder Chelsea Clinton Wanted Secrecy

WHEN it comes to publicly exploiting one’s nuptials, Chelsea Clinton could fairly be described as the antipode of Bethenny Frankel. Ms. Clinton, in the words of Joanna Coles, the editor of Marie Claire, “shows celebrities how they should be getting married and that it is possible to stay out of the limelight, if you want to.”
Oh, but who would want to?
Few images of Ms. Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky have been released, frustrating those whose livelihoods depend on a feed of nuptial news. Think of the publicity-seeking designers, the poor caption writers for InStyle, the knockoff artists hoping to make a buck off a Chelsea-inspired trend. Once, designers talked freely about their designs, but this week, an assistant to Vera Wang, who made the wedding gown, hung up on a reporter calling for more details.
“Many of us would also love to see her lineup of lavender-clad bridesmaids as well as the children rumored to have been members of the wedding,” wrote Bridget Foley in Women’s Wear Daily. “And, oh yes, a good look at Hillary’s Oscar de la Renta gown, its Italian organza in a high-drama ombréd range from magenta to pale pink.”
That dress (possibly gorgeous, but who can tell?) can barely be seen in the official images. Allen B. Schwartz, the copycat king who has said he will remake the dress, has his work cut out for him. Mr. Mezvinsky, meanwhile, may have suffered a disservice for the lack of a decent photo op. In the image that the men’s suit designer Alan Flusser saw online, the Burberry-clad groom, he said, “looked like Ichabod Crane.”
“The man has a very long neck, and unfortunately, he is wearing a dress shirt that is probably two inches too short,” Mr. Flusser said. “He looked less — how shall I say this? — less stylish than his wife looked.”
Interest in the wedding is understandable, said Susan Cernek, an editor at Glamour.com. “Weddings serve as a calling card for one’s personality and lifestyle. In 24 hours you showcase your social circle, sartorial preferences, family background, visual aesthetic, even your diet preferences.”
Ms. Coles had another theory as to why people might be disappointed by a mere trickle of photos: Despite growing up in the White House, Ms. Clinton appears to have emerged “relatively normal,” she said. “People can’t quite believe it. They long to see a picture of her lying upside down with her dress hanging over her head.”

The secrets behind Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky’s wedding

Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky got married on Saturday after months of secret preparations. After the wedding, it’s time to find out the truth about the wedding dress, about the guests and the costs.
Although Chelsea is the daughter of the former U.S President Bill Clinton and the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the two newly weds didn’t have expensive fireworks services and a huge celebrity guest list.
Still, little town of Rhinebeck, N.Y. was full of journalists, bloggers and paparazzi, noting and photographing everything that looked like it has some connection to the famous wedding. The nuptials were a private and splendid affair and guests were very happy with it.
There were about 400 family members and friends in front of which Chelsea and Marc tied the know in an interfaith ceremony. Chelsea Clinton looked spectacular in a strapless, princess like wedding gown designed by the famous and Clinton family friend, Vera Wang. At the reception Chelsea changed in a second wedding dress, a more suitable dress for a party, where she danced with her father to “The Way You Look Tonight,” Frank Sinatra’s song. She looked like a true princess of our modern times. Chelsea and Marc gave the guests a real show when they took the floor for a cutely choreographed dance to “At Last.”
Of course Hillary Clinton, the happy mother looked amazing. She opted for a full-length Oscar de la Renta fuchsia gown and I must confess, she looked amazing in it.
The wedding planner, Brian Rafanelli did an amazing job with organizing the wedding of the century, as it was named by numerous tabloids. He really took his oath of silence as a serious matter and worked only with people he trusted they would keep their mouth shut for the media. Well, not all of them kept the silence because a few details were published by the media recently. Details as how much did the wedding cost, who is the designer of the wedding gown and why did Chelsea opted for $15k toilets.
As for the wedding reception itself, well according to several guests cited by ABC, including Roger Clinton (uncle of the bride), the party was spectacular. Although the security was high and guests needed special bracelets to get to the wedding.
If the wedding was indeed spectacular but familiar (there are just a few photos from the wedding featuring the happy couple and the new parents in law), we must believe the guest’s testimonies posted online on various gossip sites.

Clinton wedding frenzy begins in Newyork Town.

Chelsea Clinton's guest list will swell Saturday, as uninvited onlookers try to catch a glimpse of her celebrity attendees and take part in the celebration in their own ways.
The daughter of the former president and the current secretary of state is set to say "I do" Saturday afternoon or evening at Astor Courts, a private Rhinebeck estate neighboring the Hudson River.
Signs of the event began to pop up Saturday morning in the village and as the day wore on, the pace picked up.
Three black Lincolns were parked outside the Delamater Inn with the drivers dressed to the nines. And clerk Gianny Andreini at the Rhinebeck Smoke Shop said he sold a couple of $30 top-of-the-line cigars Friday night, which is something that doesn't happen every day.

STORY: Wedding to be a quiet affair
THE BILL: Tab could hit $3M
PHOTOS: Chelsea Clinton through the years
Clinton's nuptials to Marc Mezvinsky are expected to cause road closures and possible traffic delays as media outlets from as far away as Australia and spectators flock to sites where guests were seen checking into Friday — mainly the Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn.
As hundreds of reception attendees sip cocktails Saturday, the weather is expected to be in the low 80s, dry with low humidity.
Chances of viewing the bride on her big day are slim to none. Security will keep Astor Courts on lockdown and gawkers at bay.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed local airspace would be closed temporarily (for aircraft flying under 2,000 feet) while boating on the Hudson will not be restricted, but police will be patrolling, Kranik said.
The main intersection in Rhinebeck, known as the "four corners," resembled something of a block party Friday, as camera-armed people waited and waited to snap a shot of a celebrity.
Perhaps the most famous of all guests, the father of the bride, Bill Clinton, created a small frenzy in the afternoon as he strolled down Montgomery Street into Gigi Trattoria for lunch.
The atmosphere was buoyant even after Clinton was last seen getting into his Secret Service escort vehicle around 2 p.m. To add to the festivities, men wore Bill Clinton masks and others held signs that read, "Seat me at Oprah's table."
Businesses had their part. The A.L. Stickle variety storefront was decorated with kissing stuffed animals — one wore a veil.

The Rug Garden held a champagne-and-cake reception for the less fortunate who didn't get their Clinton-Mezvinsky invites, while the store's owner, Deborah Belding, blew noisemakers.
"We're having our own party," she announced. "We weren't invited."
Shortly after, The police shut down her street celebration.
Retiree Ray Green of Staatsburg lounged in a folding chair, hoping to see Oprah. His companion, Joan Tallman, said she saw "girls Chelsea's age going into the Beekman Arms carrying dresses."

Bittersweet Bed and Breakfast owner Edith Thomas said she's was expecting "a mix of actors and politicians" who are attending the wedding to check in at 3:30 p.m.
Earlier Friday morning, Clinton's event staff dropped off "very fancy, gorgeous baskets" for each guest.
Around 4 p.m., a white SUV limousine followed by a black stretch limousine drove by the Beekman Arms as a speculator shouted out, "That's her. That's Oprah." Around the same time, workers secured the Beekman Arms' front entrance and lawn with a white fence. Secret Service members popped in and out throughout the day.
