The lack of celebrities at Chelsea Clinton's wedding was a sure indication the young woman and her new husband Marc Mezvinsky have their heads screwed on right.
Bill Clinton, pictured above giving away his daughter, must have been so proud of her and how she pulled it together.
While the paparazzi may have screamed blue murder at the lack of an Oprah or a Bono, the newlyweds showed that family and friends were paramount, not some mindless talking head or Hollywood creation with no direct connection to the family.
It is a nice reality to contemplate that only Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen, friends for ever with the Clintons, were the only two Hollywood types that anyone could track down.
In a celebrity obsessed culture it was a wonderful reminder of what is most important on a couple's big day.
They clearly chose to spend it with family and friends and those who had made the life journey by their side.
It also meant that all the attention was on the newlyweds which is where it belonged on their special day.
SO well done Chelsea, you have proven once again how grounded a girl you are, Mazel Tov!

To those who complained about the cost . . . it stimulated the economy in that area. The locals benefited from the flowing of cash. If those who had that much money had a wedding in their family. they would probably have spent lavishly as well.

Is this the face that sank a thousand ships? ( Apologies to Christopher Marlowe)

I wonder how Chelsea likes having a father-in-law who served five years in a federal pen (and is still on probation).

a WEDDING in good taste. Bride/groom two young newly weds and although beyond my taste the ceremony was planned as well for the consideration and convenience of guests.

I agree 100% - they are to be commended. Who cares about celebrities? What makes them so special? It was THEIR day.

The sins of the parents should not be visited on the children plus everyone deserves forgiveness. She was a beautiful bride and I'm so happy the spotlight was on her and Marc.

I would let you know who was sitting at our table, but the wifw and I decided against that, as we had promised Bill & Hillery to keep it quiet, but for the right price, who knows.
