Going to the chapel, and its gonna cost a fortune...
Chelsea Clinton's wedding is expected to set her mother and father back anywhere from $3 million to $5 million, and Breaking Celebrity News has all the details of the expensive day for you.
Former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, assuming they are actually footing the bill personally - will be spending about $6,000 a head for the 500 estimated guests invited to the lavish affair at New York's uber-posh Astor Estate on Saturday, July 31.
The money is going toward everything from five-star cuisine to custom invitations (estimated at $150 each) to air-conditioned tents to tight security, as experts say that even the nearby airspace will be monitored with the high-profile guest list.
Even with the days of a booming Clinton economy long behind us, we think the former first couple will be OK, having reported more than $100 million in earnings from 2000 to 2007. Besides, they saved plenty of cash when they tied the knot in 1975 -- in a small ceremony in their living room.
Chelsea, 30, is slated to marry her childhood pal, Goldman Sachs investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, 32, after a five-year courtship. Mezvinsky also comes from a political pedigree, as his parents Marjorie and Edward both served in Congress.
